Sorry, thats my terrible habit of spelling things wrong because I've only heard the word and not seen it in written form! I meant 'eclectic':
1. selecting or choosing from various sources.
2. made up of what is selected from different sources.
3. not following any one system, as of philosophy, medicine, etc., but selecting and using what are considered the best elements of all systems.
4. noting or pertaining to works of architecture, decoration, landscaping, etc., produced by a certain person or during a certain period, that derive from a wide range of historic styles, the style in each instance often being chosen for its fancied appropriateness to local tradition, local geography, the purpose to be served, or the cultural background of the client.
'Shiny things' was not meant to mean money but interesting ideas.
Children of the future age,
Reading this indignant page,
Know that in a former time
Love, sweet love, was thought a crime.
