What's in a name?

Motivated by the many blogs I have been reading in the past few weeks, I've decided to get myself one too. Blogger.com must have one of the simplest registration forms I've ever filled. It takes a normal person less than 2 minutes to get his blog up and running on this site, but then again, I'm no normal person:). After spending a couple of hours browsing through dictionaries, the Webster thesaurus and good ol' google looking for a good name for my blog, I finally decided on "ratiocination".

Ratiocination: ratiocination(n)
1: the proposition arrived at by logical reasoning (such as the proposition that must follow from the major and minor premises of a syllogism)
2: logical and methodical reasoning

But of course it was taken, I was pissed, and went into a frenzy looking up weird names and "limpid pools of solitude" was born, I thought "limpid pools of silence" sounded better, but somehow didn't fit the context, don't you think? Anyway so "limpid pools of solitude" it is...
