exiguous
exiguous \ ig-ZIG-yoo-uhs, ik-SIG- \ adjective
1. scanty; meager; small; slender: exiguous income .
Exiguous could certainly describe the number of visitors to this pathetic excuse for a blog as well as the sum of its quality content. It could apply to many things in my life, esp. the example of income, my hair, my intellect, my talents, my accomplishments and my ambition. It couldn't be used to define my large volume of character faults, though.

pavonine
pavonine \ PAV-uh-nahyn, -nin \ adjective
1. of or like a peacock.
2. resembling the feathers of a peacock, as in coloring.
Nice descriptive word, but something I think you'd only find in flowery prose: "The young lovers watched the golden orb of the sun sink below the far away darkening horizon, framed by the pavonine rainbow."
