  2. I really like serendipity and passport, too.

    Other words I like are rustle, phosphorescent, onomatopaeic and listen. I am also in love with a few Australian place names like Woolloomooloo, Wee Jasper and the Bungle Bungles.

  4. pixilate, abattoir, sleuth, facile, extraordinary, pudgy. What a fanciful game! I picked up my old dictionary and found: "krypton n. Newly discovered element in air. It is somewhat denser than nitrogen. [Gr. = hidden.] Then this took me to Wikipedia to see what is known about krypton today. It's fun to HAVE that ancient dictionary but I am grateful that I live now in the age of wikipedia. Yes, serendipity is a good one, like the serendipitous day that brought you into my life!

  10. Bungle Bungles is where I reside right now in the learning curve of the digital world. Love it!

    krypton is a word often used in my Superman fantasy childhood. Thanks for putting it back in play, Kaz... and so funny we've been breathing it all along.

    Some real swanky (very 60's) words there PA SF!

    I was lulled to swoon and conjured all sorts of sleek possibilities, until she murmured buzz off during the 9th symphony. Now I'm just an old ornery stinkpot with my Chianti. Ahh, mi amor sin dolor.

  11. P, I just learned how to follow all the blogs I follow with google reader & noticed no update here as I was having fun following. Has my last comment of a day or two ago gone missing in the digital void or perhaps it not meet your approval, acclaim, acclamation, eclat, plaudit or approbation? ..all words I do NOT like. But today I do like:
    gazpacho and amontillado and fricassee.

    only askin because I see the other comment I made in your newer post.
