Irenic
No, this is not a misspelling of the Alanis Morisette song; irenic means peaceful, conciliatory, and/or to promote peace.

Quotidian
This blog aims to be quotidian [kwoh-tid-ee-uhn], which means 'occuring daily,' although during the summer months does not always acheive this goal. Since something quotidian, such as a fever, or report, occurs daily, this word has also come to refer to the commonplace qualities of things, such as a quotidian painting, of 'everyday' quality.

Maunder
This word is kind of an amalgum of the words 'wander' and 'meander;' it means to talk or walk (or move) in a foolish, rambling sort of way.
