Last night I was patting my cat and remembering a cat I used to know called Mandu (Cat/Kath-mandu, geddit?). This turned into a long conversation with my mum about good pun-names for cats.  We decided that Zinzan would probably be called Atonic if we’d named him with a pun.  Now my pet fantasy is to [...]

I know, I know, I’m actually blogging more than once a week!  I was watching Korero Mai yesterday (that show that’s a soapie for 20 minutes then some dude shows up for the last 10 minutes to teach you all the new te reo that the characters used that episode).  Actually I’ve been taping it [...]

Books. And writing. And, just for a change, more names!

‘Apparently all she needed was to hear her job description in [...]

After a relatively heavy blog post last time, here’s one that’s just full of teh friviolous!
As I have mentioned before (I think) I’m a regular reader of Skepchick, and today one of the posters mentioned Neil Gaiman (completely off the topic of scepticism, but apparently lots of people think he’s awesome, not just me.)  I [...]

Toy names and other stuff

Posted in Life in Cartoon Motion, tagged , , , on September 2, 2008 | 15 Comments »

As some of you may know, I belong to a names forum where we discuss names that we like, or don’t like, or ask for people’s opinions on names we hear.  Anyway so this morning someone posted asking what we all thought of the name Bruce.  I couldn’t help but giggle.  What with the Aussie [...]

Pretty paper and Coronation Street!

OK so this blog is a two-parter: part one = random stuff, part two = my extremely odd dream from a few nights ago.
Actually not really a lot has been happening!  I have and essay to write, a portfolio to complete by the 31st so I can apply for a Creative Writing paper next semester [...]
