There are multiple snowdrifts in my front and side lawns that are taller than me. (I guess that isn’t too hard to do, though, is it?) I’m tired of talking about the weather… but the other main things going on last week consisted of work going crazy and me getting a bit of a cough. [...]

We’ve been threatened by the possibility of snow since Friday afternoon, but it didn’t start in earnest until sometime this morning. I woke up around 11 a.m., and the flakes were falling in such a way that I could actually see them through the window, even before I put on my glasses. For a split [...]

Yet again, I predicted our local weather forecast had changed — to one of snow falling all weekend — thanks to my “human barometer” super power. I’m more accurate than the local meteorologists. Still, I wouldn’t mind giving this ability (and its humidity-induced headaches) back. ;-) I got home tonight just in time to swing [...]

It’s been a busy — but O.K. — week and a half, capped off by a really good day yesterday. October 14th marked three years to the day when the cat, my obscenely loaded truck and I set off from Florida on a trek halfway across the country to land in the current location. Today [...]

The morning following my most recent (previous) post, I looked in my feed reader, and instead of the usual headline, I saw a full paragraph of SPAM. Guess whose RSS feed was hit with crap? >_< It should be all fixed up now, but what a pain. We’ll see if it’s entirely fixed with this [...]

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 [...]

Waking up on Monday mornings is hard enough, but waking up on a Monday morning, with a headache and a sleepy cat, who wants nothing more than for you to stay right where you are, is incredibly difficult. I swear she does that on purpose. >^..^< Some quick thoughts for today… I understand how ratings [...]

There’s been a lot going on in my offline world. The evidence? It’s been forever since I took a whole month-plus off from blogging. (I don’t count Twitter because, well… It’s off the cuff, and my particular brand of status updates don’t translate into “real” writing, to my mind, anyway.) Work’s been super, crazy busy. [...]

My mom has always enjoyed the Miss America pageant, and for the first time in a VERY long time, I made it through an entire telecast. (We watched it while on the phone and commenting the entire time.) Some of my friends may be surprised by this, but I’ve never really had a horrible bias [...]

A busy and relatively productive weekend and start to the next week! Ready yourself for the onslaught of bulletpoints. – Most importantly: YAY!! The University of Florida Gators won the National Championship for college football over Oklahoma with a score of 24-14. AND Tim Tebow announced at yesterday’s fan gathering that he’d be back for [...]
