What shall I name my new blog?

[andave_ya]

Hello again :)

I want to start a blog separate from my LitNet one but I'm stuck for a name. I want to have some form of the word "remember" in there because it seems like that is a big part of my life. Always when something happens I remember -- what happened in a book, in a movie, in a song, in a play, a principle, a war, a fight, in history, etc. and it doesn't seem like I can break that habit. I'm not sure that I want to, but it does get a bit melancholy sometimes.

So, what do you think? The only thing I've come up with is "Locked in Remembrance" but that sounds cheesy beyond words. Is there maybe some Latin phrase? If it wasn't so long I'd use my subtitle - laudator temporis acti - which means 'praiser of times past' but yeah, kinda convoluted.

Do you have a favorite catch/phrase from a book that would work, maybe?

Maybe something totally random and zany?

Anything you like :D. Please!

Memento Mori (remember you're going to die - a painting genre)- or a sort of pun - Memento Mores (not sure about the declension though!)
Remembrance of Things Past...
One of the lines of one of my favourite poems, in French: "Te souvient-il de notre extase ancienne?" Te souvient-il means do you remember, but the structure is awfully archaic (usually you'd said tu te souviens? or te souviens-tu?).

If you want to be obscure and intellectual, you could go with "Mnemosyne", the personification of memory and mother of the muses.

If you're a Proust fan you could go with "Rememberance of Things Past" (one of the better title translations out there, I think) or just stick with the original "À la recherche du temps perdu."

Of course, if you were the ghost of Hamlet's father "Remember me!" would more than suffice.:D

Memento Mori -- that's intriguing. I like the idea of death and remembrance. Thanks!

Mnemosyne! That's cool! Ooh, I like that one a lot! Hm, that's two already :)

With the Proust, haha, once at a library booksale I picked up a huge volume entitled the "Remembrance of Things Past." Having heard of him through LitNet and other intellectuals :brow: I decided to get it. When I got home I realized it was the second half only. That threw me off Proust! I'd never finish it! To this day I have that huge tome in my bookshelf, waiting for some person to have pity on it and take it home. Any takers? :p

I had thought of Remember Me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FAazfFe_pU), though not in the context of Hamlet :idea:. It's the name of one of my favorite songs, sung by Josh Groban, and it always reminds me of the fading away of books. It was sung during the credits at the end of the movie "Troy."

Why not just call it 'Remember?' ? The question mark after remember was deliberate. Simple and probably not what you looking for I know but it was off the top of my head!

Actually that's not a bad idea at all! Thanks :)

How about Sacred Duty. I got this from a quote by Mahatma Gandhi:
"A friendly study of the world's religions is a sacred duty."

Or how about My Good Works from Acts of the Apostles, 9. 36: "Dorcas: this woman was full of good works."

How about Paddling My Canoe. From an American proverb: "Love many, hate few, learn to paddle your own canoe."

Or

The Golden Chain from a quote by Johanne von Goethe: "Kindness is the golden chain by which our world is bound together."

Paddling my Canoe :D...nice :)

Well here's my two cents: Remembered Pathways

It's wonderful Andy. I enjoyed the music. Some day we'll have to read The Brothers Karamazov together. One of my all time favorite novels and one of the greatest ever. Janine and I have been talking about a group read. Perhaps if we find the right time in the year when you're not overwhelmed with school you can join us. Oh, and nice name for a blog. :)
