Alice is not amused.Q: What has Alison been doing these past few weeks?

The easy and truthful answer is work, work, and more work — some of which I can talk about (like this cool new anime, coming in 2009 to video shelves near you!) and, of course, some of which that I can’t.

So, instead, I’ll talk about the usual non-NDA-covered, rambly stuff. Bullet points ahoy!

  • Both tax refunds received, I’ve tackled a couple of projects around my house, including finishing off my living room — still need to find window treatments that I like — and starting my bedroom.
  • I read Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. (Yes, I’m that far behind in my casual book reading, but I do get some points for reading it before seeing the movie.) When my final volume of the fab Moyoco Anno’s Sugar Sugar Rune came in, I had to re-read the previous seven volumes — all during a single afternoon.  Next up, I need to hit some of my professional books and tackle a few of my unread manga series that I already own in their entirety.
  • On the flipside of my productivity in other areas, I haven’t made any headway on putting together a theme for Aligator Pop.  That should change soon, though, because a.) a hosting screw up  put its Joomla DB offline and b.) I’ve already satisfied my OCD urges and fixed the photos on this site.
  • I continue to be going through an Oasis-Muse-Kings of Leon phase.
  • I’ve been working out consistently, and the way the weather’s going, I may actually be able to wear the scarf I’m trying to finish.
  • And in the all important “I watch too much TV” category, I’m in the middle of Rome Season 2, have the final volume of the Toward the Terra TV series in queue, re-started Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion (I had been watching it on TV), and started a re-watch of the first season of Emma: A Victorian Romance. Oh, and I’m also watching the first season of Psych. I’m fascinated by James Roday’s character. He’s kind of like a puppy, who deliberately has an accident on the floor right in front of you but then is so proud of himself that you can’t help thinking he’s cute anyway.

TTFN. Got to hit the forums before I clock out for the night!
