This is now a tangent, but I feel obliged to point out that, as even Camus admits, absurdity is a property of relations and not a thing itself. Specifically, it is an attempt to have an impossible relationship, like trying to draw blood from a stone. The wild error that Camus makes in the Myth of Sisyphus is considering only man's relation to the universe itself in seeking personal fulfillment rather than man's relation to fellow humans. It is absurd too seek something from the universe itself where the universe somehow acknowledges you, but existence becomes much less cold when you remember that other people exist.

Very true, I use "absurd" to primarily mean that it appears improbable and crazy in our consciousnesses when we consider it. Even if the universe could only go one way as a result of its conditions it's a miracle it went this way and produced life. If there are infinite universes as some theories propose, I imagine most of them wouldn't have turned out nearly like this.
