Cute. And delicious. (I didn’t make these… but I did enjoy them!) ✿

I pass by this tractor trailer every day, on my way to work.
When I first saw it, I got my hopes up that they were going to build something cool — i.e., something pertinent to me – because it looked like a friendly alien. Alas, as I slowed down and got a closer look, I realized it was only rust.
It looks pretty neat from a distance, though, doesn’t it? ★

Even when I’m entirely overscheduled, I never feel guilty about picking up more music.
Recent purchases:
- Shinhwa: Vol. 10 The Return: I actually purchased this album via iTunes first, since they sold through the entire quantity of the first pressing. So when they announced a second L.E. repackage, I hopped on it pretty quickly. I’m kind of in love with everything about this LP and its packaging. ♥
- Chemistry: Trinity: This CD came out toward the beginning of the year, and it’s why savvy fans were anything but surprised when the duo announced its hiatus. While a third of the tracks are the usual duets, the remaining two thirds are solo tracks.
- V6: Live Tour 2011: Sexy.Honey.Bunny! (Regular Edition): I had the chance to pick up the Hong Kong edition on sale, so I did, for comparison’s sake.
- SPICA: Painkiller: Bought this mini album as a spur-of-the-moment iTunes purchase, and it’s been on auto-repeat.
- Jack White: Blunderbuss: Another purchase on a whim, since I’ve always found his other work interesting.
I’ll have to write these up for real on the other site. ♫
Around My Office(s) – 1: Penelope

This is Penelope. She lives on the printer next to my desk at work. (If you lift up the blanket that she’s hiding under, you can see little hamster hands and feet.) ♥

The last couple weeks have been another bout of “work ate my life” with an added, major complication: At Josie’s most recent vet visit, they discovered she lost a lot of weight and has chronic thyroid disease.
I’d love to say it’s no big deal, but it is. There’s also no question that I’ll do and pay whatever is necessary to keep my little pet monster around and up to her usual level of feisty obnoxiousness.
The only choice we have is to keep going… and to work to make things that are more in our control better. ★
With an Eye Toward the Heavens
0 Comments Published by Alison April 18th, 2012 in life, manga, photos.I just restarted reading Twin Spica, now that I have all of the volumes. If you want this series — and you should — don’t put it off. It’s going to be going out of print soon. -_-

Sometimes, I wonder if it’s possible to exhaust one’s lifetime supply of tears…

I drive by this house every day, on my way to and from work. It always makes me laugh. ☺

Today was full of “severe thunderstorm warnings” and “tornado watches.” The weather radio kept going off, causing Kitty-mon to go bonkers and hide in places that are hard for me to reach. So I had to put her in her leash and harness. Which she just loved. >^..^<
I have all my Peeps in a row. ^_^
