esurient

esurient \ih-SUR-ee-uhnt; -ZUR-\ , adjective:
1. Hungry; greedy.



I normally don't listen to the audio pronunciation, but this time I did; the voice said "enwind", nothing like "esurient".

It's a good word, "esurient", to describe someone both hungry and greedy; however, it's a poor combination to be.

The Heart of Darkness

NASA image from the Herschel Observatory

From NASA
:

Some of the coldest and darkest dust in space shines brightly in this infrared image from the Herschel Observatory, a European Space Agency mission with important participation from NASA. The image is a composite of light captured simultaneously by two of Herschel's three instruments -- the photodetector array camera and spectrometer with its spectral and photometric imaging receiver.

The image reveals a cold and turbulent region where material is just beginning to condense into new stars. It is located in the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy, 60 degrees from the center. Blue shows warmer material, red the coolest, while green represents intermediate temperatures. The red filaments are made up of the coldest material pictured here -- material that is slightly warmer than the coldest temperature theoretically attainable in the universe.

Bad vid, but it was the only semi-decent one I could find w/ the original band members.

I'm pretty sure they're lip-synchin', too.

1. Characterized by or suggestive of flashy vulgarity, crudeness, or rowdiness; tawdry.
2. Marked by a carefree unconventionality or disreputableness; rakish.


I'm a little more raffish than my momma would've liked. I don't think it was all of it laid directly on me, but also that some of the women I've dated fit the description more than than I did.
