2009 Reflections: 16 Opinionated Ant posts to read while bored
The year was full of surprises and challenges both good and different. Our posting was sporadic at best but we’ve enjoyed every minute of it. By the end of the year, my humanoid had a firmer grasp on what this blog is precisely and even a better tag line! Two fictional characters blogging fictionalized facts. Although, I’m not sure…
Quote of the Week: Betty Reese take on insects
If you think you are too small to be effective, you have never been in bed with a mosquito. ~Betty Reese Conversely, imagine the world taken over by mutant mosquitoes! Here is a series of photographs taken in the 1940′s giving humankind a dark glimpse into the grim possible future. Being eaten and ruled over…
Word of the Week: Quibbleism
Considered a lost word, quibbleism is just another excellent example of my humanoids behavior. According to a lovely new site we stumbled across, The Phrontisrey, it seems the term quibbleism was used in 1836. This one shouldn’t be too difficult to deduce since the root is quibble.

Video of the Week: Nota from Sing Off
Do I really need to say more? They had so many great performances but ding-a-ling hitting those notes is not easy, especially a capella.

Bablatrice It has been some time since my human has posted a Word of the Week. Have you missed them too. The interesting thing is she is what you might call a bablatrice. Just what is a bablatrice you may be wondering. Well it isn’t a technical term for a part of a castle, that…
Break time is over… get back to work!
Hello Readers! It is me, Eliza Leigh Mutant Ant and I’m back. After a month of listening to my Humanoid aka Translator mutter out dialogue and write her novel in her Wonder Woman notebook National Novel Writing Month is over. (It took her almost another month to get back to me!) This means my forced…
Video of the Week: Again, Again! Teletubbies dance to Coldplay
Someone shared this with us and now I want my human to put on a tutu and dance around the apartment singing this. HA HA HA! “You see what I have to put up with? Anyone want to adopt a mutant ant?”
Wondering Where I’ve Been?
I have a lovely post just waiting to go live telling you what I’ve been up to this past month but in the meantime I wanted to let you know that my human has finals this week and another dratted cold so she is still ignoring me. If she keeps this up much longer I’m…
