Eagerly awaiting my next order from e.l.f.!
So, I realize I haven't posted in two weeks. For yesterday, my only excuse is that I sprained my wrist and typing is not fun. Last week... I know something was going on, I just can't remember what it was for the life of me. So to make it up to you - here's all of the wordiness I've missed!
So the way I choose the words of the week is through my dictionary app on my iPhone, Olga. There's a word of the day each day and I look through them and choose one for each week. That or if I hear a really cool word I'll look it up and keep it in mind. Unsurprisingly, it was difficult to choose from all the awesome words but I went with:
[nok-tuh-LOO-suhnt] adj. visible during the short night of the summer.So Sax would sit on the western sea cliff, rapt through the setting of the sun, then stay through the hour of twilight, watching the sky colors change as the sun’s shadow rose up, until all the sky was black; and then sometimes there would appear noctilucent clouds, thirty kilometers above the planet, broad streaks gleaming like abalone shells. Kim Stanley Robinson, Blue Mars
[sahr-dn-uh-PEYL-yuhn] adj. excessively luxurious.Here, in this half-destroyed Tartar town, surrounded by steppes, he indulged himself in a Sardanapalian effulgence that beggared even his jassy Court. Simon Sebag Montefiore, Potemkin
The runners-up were pensée, imponderable, natch, mignon, and fantast.
