Someone on the bus had the word "mellifluous" tattooed on their back. I suppose they might just be using the adjective to describe themselves, which would be a teensy bit wanky (sweet sounding? full of honey?). But I assumed at first that it was just there because it was their favourite word. And it would be nice if you could see everyone's favourite word just by looking at them. On the other hand, that would probably mean I would have the word "crepuscule" tattooed on me somewhere, and all of the possible applications of that word to the human body are pretty gross.
I'm not sure if it's my favourite word anymore anyway. I've always been bad at favourites because I'm such a context monkey - anything that seems great, I can think of an instance where it would be shit, and vice versa.
Crepuscule is a great word. But my search for a tattoo that is both meaningful to me and doesn't look horrific continues.
Anyway, this is mainly just a celebratory post to point out I am currently sitting somewhere air-conditioned. Although there is quite a nice breeze outside, and I recommend going out and finding a shady spot to appreciate it if you can't find any AC.
