squamous

squamous - adj - Covered with or formed of scales; scaly.

Another word from H. P. Lovecraft. I've never much cared for his writing, yet from time to time I find myself drawn to it. I'd call it a guilty pleasure, but one story is usually enough to put me off his stories for another year or two. (But try his good story Pickman's Model.)

Meanwhile, my fascination with the non-exquisite Lindsay Lohan continues. I can't accept that a girl can be such severly damaged goods at age 21.

(Word of the Week indeed!)
