Okay! Listen up! Here's the meat (below is the mustard). Embrace this with relish, slide it between some buns and we'll all cook out.
TITLE: Tangled Fluorescence
When to post: Monday (one week from today -- I'm so generous), February 17th, 2003
When to read: (eg. comment, make fun of, praise, etc.) Tuesday, February 18th, 2003

Now, here's how I thought of this one.
* * *
Well, I wanted to find something that sounded like a title and I wanted it to be thought provoking and multi-dimensional. In other words, capable of being interpreted in many ways.
Thinking of something 'wordy' was my first choice and I sparked to:
Vociferous Obfuscation
As fun as it sounds, I think it might point some of the wordsmiths around here to use complicated, not-used-very-often wordage and I didn't want to go there. I didn't want it to sound so far away from everyday speech. So, I tried to make it simpler and came up with:
Hard Truth
Didn't really like that.
Then, I started looking for word combinations that were common to me, but perhaps thought-provoking, multi-dimensional, etc. and came up with:
Girl Talk
Loose Lips
Didn't really think these were clever enough, even though they might have sufficed. As a result, I looked back at the words we'd had up until now:
Broken Blinds, Shadow Theater and Foaf
Foaf being the least favorite of mine with no real obvious connotations attached to it (being a recent computer anagram used in email), I decided to look at the first two titles and look for commonalities to see if I could draw some useful characterisitcs from them:
Both have something that creates shadow and light, and venetian blinds are rather theatrical, and the other has 'theater' in it... Okay, so 'a creative movement' with 'shadows and/or light.' I can find things for that.
I came up with:
Gloam Ballet, Twilight Tango and Dirty Dandle
Nothing really, truly sparked me here, so:
Started thinking of female form and geometry, came up with:
Perfect Fit
Curve Left & Turn
Many of my thoughts kept centering around some kind of dance, but nothing really stuck. I remembered a question I had about space recently,"Does space fluoresce?" (in the presence of light and shadow?).
Fluoresce. Great word.
"Tangoed Fluoresce" came to mind. Then, it shifted...
"Tangled Fluorescence" - now, there was a title!
I looked the words up for definitions at www.dictionary.com:
v. tan·gled, tan·gling, tan·gles
v. tr.
v. intr.
n.
* * *
fluo•res•cence
noun
Whoa! All great stuff and lots of interpretations to be had.
Okay, "Tangled Fluorescence" it is.
Reading through this stuff, I thought of a few more good titles:
Absorbing Invisibility
Wave Length
and
Integral Bifurcation
But, "Tangled Fluorescence" is the title for this week. What do you think?
