“Like the leach that keeps on taking.”

If you have no idea who I am or who that was that interrupted me… I am a talking mutant ant and no I am not a figment of your imagination. My name is Eliza Leigh, but you can call me eL or master of the universe which ever works for you. The one you talks with “quotations” is my Humanoid Translator who refuses to divulge her name on here in fear of family sending her to the funny farm. I call her HT, human, slave, that sort of thing. You can read more about us on the about page but really this post is more exciting.

My human put me into forced retirement while she went back to school- I tried to explain that my blog was more important than her homework but my downtrodden pinion never could quite grasp this fundamental truth. Now that she’s done and has some time for me she agreed to begin again.

Just what is this about?

Again, you can read the about page but if you’re lazy like my human then you’ll just keep reading this hoping that eventually I’ll get to the point. Go drink a cup of coffee and come back because this double-hinged jaw is flapping and it ain’t about to stop.

My personal blog to rant about my favorite things; entertainment, words, photography, exploring and more.  If you like strange words, quirky movies and exploring then you might like this site.  It is my way to reeducate you confused humanoids.

What we’ve been up to this summer

Photography~ New camera, more pictures, new portfolio site & Bebe is going to model in our first semi-real shoot!
Words~ More excerpts from my memoir, more strange words and short stories too!
Explore~ Only two DCR parks down but plenty of other parks, cities and drive by pictures to share.
Plenty more to keep your brains fresh. 

That’s all for now

Since my human needs to continue looking for her car keys… at least one out of the three pairs… since she already had to cancel all her plans for the day.  How irresponsible.

“Yes, but otherwise I wouldn’t have posted today… wait a minute.  Eliza Leigh where are my keys?!”

Finally, my Humanoid has uploaded some beautiful pieces of artwork. As in me, of course.

Many months ago, HT got her timing right (this is very rare) and started following Chris Eliopoulos (Cartoonist i.e. Misery Loves Sherman) on Twitter in time to get a drawing done.  Since she was able to get anything drawn, naturally she chose me.

“Not that I had a choice, I really wanted to ask if he could draw a reflexology treatment.”

Boring and stop squinting.

“I can’t help it, it’s from all the ocular eye shots I’ve been taking lately. Anyone have any eye shots they’d like to share so my poor beady eyes can take a break?”

What happened to your last victim? I mean volunteer?

“They went blind.”

Ouch, I hope you have liability insurance. Back to my beautiful pictures, here is a sample of some from very gifted artists.

 anonymous (until we find out what he wants to be known as.  eL drawings today the Louvre tomorrow)

“I especially like these…
It captures one of my favorite fantasies.”

EVIL!! Now I’m going to tell you the Primeval spoiler…

“More eL pictures coming as we type. Have you seen her about? Let us know or drop your clean link in the comments below.”

How come you always get to say the legal mumbo jumbo?

“Now who’s sulking?”

Sidewalks, Sweets and Species

Welcome to eL’s new home. Have you browsed around yet? Thoroughly confused?  Here’s a few quick links to help you on your way.

Wondering who eL and her Human Translator are?
Check out the Character and FAQ’s Pages as well as the archives.

You already know who eL the mutant ant is but having trouble on figuring her out?
Again you could browse the About Pages, also read Eliza’s Excerpts since these short snippets of her unreleased memoirs which tell more of her background.

What’s the deal with Sidewalks, Sweets and Species?
These are Eliza Leigh’s specialties. Her original agreement with her Humanoid Translator was that she would limit her self to these rather broad topics. Don’t be fooled, however, Eliza Leigh talks about pretty much everything and anything.

Sidewalks covers anything doing with infrastructure, architecture and transportation.

Sweets are about sweets and all food in general since Eliza thinks anything served to her on a plate is sweet.


Species focuses on ants, humans and small mammals. Again don’t be surprised if she starts following a baby elephant’s story!

Any other questions?

It’s truly all about her. 

Born in a dump in Miami, Fl she woke up one day transformed.  Although she was still an ant she could understand humans, picking up many languages easily. It wasn’t until she realized that she too could talk human did she decide to travel away from home and explore the great unknown.  Her voracious curiosity landed her in many a strange place and developed her sense of wonder.  Things human consider ordinary and mundane were unpolished gems to Eliza Leigh.  She travelled up the East Coast and eventually found a human (an easily manipulated one) who would spread her thoughts on all things. 

Sidewalks, sweets and species are her specialties.  

Blogger who questions her sanity.

This humanoid tries to remain objective and anonymous but here’s a few facts that have leaked out:

Female.  Works odd hours.  Possibly in a government or medical facility.  Was very concerned over mental wellness when eL followed her home and began a deep, long monologue on the future of the culture and way of life for the Aborigines in Australia. 

Since eL has been to stay Humanoid Translator has had to restock her pantry countless times, bought multiple ant traps and shared in some mundane but usually bizarre endeavors.

 A Dog

This gentle canine can speak and be spoken to, that is if you are a mutant ant. 

More Character Profiles Coming Soon:

• Andy the Ant:  An Ant
• BeBe (Local Concert Aficionado and Recipe Queen)
  
  

Profile Pictures of Eliza Leigh and Human Translator are percolating as we speak.

“Why I like ‘evil eL’?”

I told you to put my picture on… Diva eL!

Here’s the two pictures we’re talking about.

The “creator” of this blog has been called many things and unique is just one of them.

C. McKane is a massage therapist, novice writer and like the fictional translator works nights.  She believes that being dropped on her head not only stunted her growth but effected her perception of the world.

Currently, C. McKane divides her time between a myriad of projects, work, annoying her family and terrorizing unsuspecting victims (all the while blaming a pesky mutant ant). 

Questions?  Ideas?  Rants?

UPDATE:  Currently in school C.McKane has become more sleep deprived than ever which means, posting may be a bit sporadic and unintelligible.
