All About The Weeks

​The days of this week/next week confusion are done!

Now you can call your weeks by unique names and never get them confused again.

If you do things on weekly bases, your life will be more fun.

​Even if you simply live in time, it will be more fun.

The following is the way it works:

Weeks begin Monday mornings, at midnight. When you wake up on Monday it is a new week.
Weekends this way remain intact.
For example, Ubie begins on Monday, January 4 at 12:00 am and ends on Sunday, January 10 at 11:59 pm.

For added fun and precision, tack an -end on the week name on Saturdays and Sundays.
For example, the first (full) week of March is called Starm. March 6 and 7 are called Starmend. 

Week names need not interfere with the names of the months; indeed, they transcend them.
For example, Dyamid starts in the end of July and ends in the start of August. July, August, whatever; it’s all Dyamid (July 26-August 1).

A few other notes on the Weeks:

  • If you look at the images from 2009-2020 (see Image archive), you will notice that the week names *do not change* from year to year. This is the point. The weeks are the same weeks all the time. As years go by, you will come to develop strong feelings for certain weeks; favorites and least favorites will emerge; and ideally, bittersweet sensations of nostalgia will eventually be prompted by simply hearing the name of a week sounded.
 
  • For those concerned about pronunciation and sensitive speakers attentive to emphasis and the like, please note that the week names are made up, and some may be phonetically ambiguous. This is ok, and eventually inevitable in English. If you refer to a week with conviction, you cannot be wrong.
​
  • Finally, you’ll notice that in 2017 we had an exciting “Leap Week” which fell between Ulebip and Ennaye. It was called Pfaff in honor of the mathematician who first alerted me to the fact of its recurrent necessity. Pfaff will be sure to re-insert itself in the calendar in due time, as the eponymous genius kindly advises.
