She is the Cat’s Mother

What a rich tapestry of language we have. I remember when I was young that my mother would use the expression “She is the cat’s mother” if I ever said she when referring to a girl or woman in the room.

I always thought yeah what ever …

Recently I have seen (Heard) a resurgence in the expression and I have often wondered at the root of this term. So today I had a little search about for it and here is what I have discovered…

Male cat = Tom

Female cat = She

so by extension “She is the cat’s Mother”

Hmmmm So what about all the cats whom have never had litters??

Doesn’t matter She refers to the Sex and English speaking mothers the world over have been I assume confusing their sons and daughters for a very long time.

Geek TV should be …

Fun and Quirky and while the main characters are wonderfully cast and drive forward the story I find my self with an affinity for the Geeky supporting cast right now I’m watching 3 shows with very strong supporting cast Warehouse 13, Lost Girl and Earth Final Conflict

Kenzi is the one that makes Lost Girl enjoyable for me.

“Street” my other current favourite Geek Character

I really like Trance Gemini in Andromeda but have not watched in a while but will soon because it is that much fun.

Trance Gemini is really fun and then there is some more seriousness toward the end of the series Trance is one of my favourites

I think the Eyes have it

Yesterday I watched the First Episode of Lost Girl and then caught up on some of the stuff in my iQ… I watched Joy Division a Documentary about the band.

The thing I noticed was Ian Curtis and Ksenia Solo both have eyes that seem too look back through the Camera at you. I find that both kind of eerie and intriguing.





I got to thinking they also reminded me a bit of a photo I saw of Alessandra Torresani from Caprica (Must go back and watch it again)

I think she has a similar look in this photo at least. What do you think?

New lunchtime ritual …

Words with friends (that game is with my Best Words with “Friend” OneCrafteeMumma ) and a sandwich.

Hopefully the salad sandwich will stick

@PiaWaugh When I first saw you ...

I was really impressed.

Now that is not how the lyrics go but in case I was unclear I thought that your gig was pretty good not for a first in 8 years deal, pretty good unqualified.

Now I’m done with the Sycophancy let me talk about what I did last night …

A girl I follow on twitter has been talking about doing a gig at the Pot Belly in Belconnen for a while now and since I have been listening to her stuff on Sound Cloud I was pretty keen for a look.

So wanting to make sure I’d get a seat and and not have to fight my way through the crowd I arrived nice and early and settled in with a nice refreshing Schooner of Bulmers Original Cider. Well crowds were not a big problem and that is a bit of what made it nice for me not being one for crowds.

Turns out there were about 6 people there just to see the gig and a few others who were quite boisterous were celebrating a birthday.

I’m a little sad I didn’t take my Flip because I was very impressed with the Gig Generally and Cover my Eyes and Greed in particular.

Of course the other part I enjoyed was the opportunity to chat briefly with Pia which I’d have to say is always nice albeit only twice thus far.

I noticed some folk ordered food so maybe next time we can encourage others to come break some bread and made an event of it. I will definitely be back for a listen.

I’ve embedded some of the Sound Cloud content so you can get a listen.
