- The biography of Atia on WIkipedia differs rather dramatically from her character in HBO’s Rome, which I’ve recently started watching on DVD Awesome series – loads of blood and violence and sex and war and stuff. Highly entertaining. Not necessarily enormously accurate, “Atia was a religious and caring matron. Tacitus considered her as an ideal Roman Matron”
- FF Roice‚Ñ¢ font family For some reason I keep coming back to this set of fonts. I keep thinking there’s something lovely about them that might make them fun to work with.
- Zombie Mindy and Buttons on You Tube Awesome cartoon flashback – this time to the early nineties in the first of a series of cartoons from Animaniacs… Okay I love ya, buh-bye!
- Mesozoic Mindy on You Tube The second of the episodes that I could find out You Tube – Unga Munga Not Lady, Tonga Mom!
- The third and final Buttons and Mindy cartoon I could find: Astro Buttons! Good on you Buttons. Finally telling that family where to stick their child-rearing pressures!
- And I’ll wrap it all up with this classic song from Pinky and the Brain… Neo-cortex, frontal lobe – BRAINSTEM! BRAINSTEM!

This… is… brilliant!
Dude, Rome… I thoroughly enjoyed that series! Me and my fiance were almost on our feeting chanting ‘Pullo, Pullo, Pullo!’ near the end of the season.
What a cast of actors too, I sure hope they make another season like they promised!
FWIW, the Atia character seems to have been based on the equally fictional portrayal of Livia (the wife of Augustus) from I, Claudius. Definitely check it out if you have seen / read it.
