Today I completed one of my 101 in 1001 Things: 87. Make an apple pie. It was not the best apple pie I have ever tasted, and the pastry on top kept crumbling when I tried to lift it onto the top, but I made apple pie! I will be making it again, and next [...]

A New Word and Finding Things to Do.
Posted in Life in Cartoon Motion, tagged baby, wordnerdery, work on July 10, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I woke up this morning with the word ‘austipagia’ (pronounced OS-tih-PAH-zhee-a) in my brain. Apparently in my sleep I had decided that this was an actual word, and derived from ‘austere’ and ‘page’. Austipagia describes a book whose pages are not filled to capacity. For example, the Edmond’s cookbook uses its page space well, but [...]
Cat names and Spam. And a WTF.

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 [...]

All of a sudden, Biscuit Week appears to be upon us! I am of course referring to Girl Guide Biscuits. This has been lots of fun for me since I pretty much have sole charge of my unit now, and wasn’t actually around for Biscuit time last year so I’m kind of going off what [...]
The best new word I have seen in a very long time.

Doing my usual daily skepchick scope, I came across this article, which, as the blogger says, isn’t very sceptically associated, but was a magnet for a little wordnerd like me. Best words and phrases from the past year? I there. What I want to know is, how do I get to be in the group [...]
