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 9th at 12:00 am and ends on Sunday, January 15th 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 11th and 12th are called Starmend. 

Week names need not interfere with the names of the months; indeed, they transcend them.
For example, Lollmac starts in the end of November and ends in the start of December. November, December whatever; it’s all Lollmac (November 27th – December 3rd).

A few other notes on the Weeks:

  • If you look at the images from 2009-2022 (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 pretty inevitable in English. If you refer to a week with conviction, you cannot be wrong.
​
  • Finally, you’ll notice that every once in a while, (and in the future every 7 years), we observe a “Leap Week,” usually just before or after Ennaye. This intercalary week is known as Pfaff, in honor of the mathematician who first alerted me to the fact of its recurrent necessity. The next Pfaff is coming up from December 25th – 30th, 2028.
