steatopygia
Anthropology: The condition of having large deposits of fat on the buttocks, as in Hottentot and Bushmen women.

Derived from Greek stear, steatos, fat, and pyge, buttocks. (In other words, "baby got back").

Coin Locker Babies by Ryu Murakam
The woman pushed on the baby's stomach and sucked its penis into her mouth; it was thinner than the American menthols she smoked and a bit slimy, like raw fish.
Collected Fictions by Jorge Luis Borges
In 1517, Fray Bartolomé de las Casas, feeling great pity for the Indians who grew worn and lean in the drudging infernos of the Antillean gold mines, proposed to Emperor Charles V that Negroes be brought to the isles of the Caribbean, so that they might grow worn and lean in the drudging infernos of the Antillean gold mines.

"Contentment is Complacency"
posted Wednesday, October 31, 2001:
I'm leaving. I don't know where, but I'm going to take a trip somewhere I've never been before, and I'm going to do it before Christmas. Complacency has been plaguing me for the past few months. It wasn't until another chat with Peter tonight that he made me realize I need to Get. Out. Life is going on all around us, he said, and if you're not passionate about what you're doing in life or where your life is, than you're not living. I am not passionate about anything in my life. I am content, comfortable, and even happy, but I feel nothing beyond a mid-range of emotion. I don't know where I'm going, but I'll figure out something. Other than that, there's too much I want to say and not enough stamina to write about it here. It will have to be postponed until I have more clarity/sleep/energy/understanding. «
