I know I’m a couple days late, but I can’t quite wrap my brain around how cool 24 still is. I mean, after two seasons, the writers still manage to throw some surprises in there. Jack with a heroin addiction. (He went a little too far undercover, perhaps?) Kim with a brain? (I’m in *total* [...]
O.K. I had a bit of a fangirl moment last night. They mixed up the tapes and then issued an apology. Everything worked out well, anyway, because I made some good headway on my backlogged correspondence. I finally worked out today. (Go me!) Now I just need to keep up the momentum and practice my [...]
They better have a good explanation for not airing the final episode of BIG O II tonight. (And “It’s part of our special Halloween programming trick/treats,” is NOT AN ACCEPTABLE ANSWER.) Episode 26 is even listed on their online schedule. That just sucks. “The Big O is killing you” is what they put on their [...]
I love the time change…
Closed Published by Alison October 26th, 2003 in life, manga, movies, shopping.I have nocturnal tendencies, so I LOVE IT when we switch back to standard time. It cools off earlier, and I just seem to function better. This weekend was good.

(To quote Monica R., “YAY!”) I’m also still recovering from my headache, and I just remembered that I promised to send photos of the billboards I looked at today [...]
Mom’s birthday is cool. Headaches suck.
Closed Published by Alison October 23rd, 2003 in events, life.Yesterday was my Mom’s birthday, so we went out to eat last night (and the night before). Jay and I got her a video she wanted, along with a Gonzo stuffed animal from the Muppet Show. It’s funny. When I was a kid, he was probably my least favorite. Now, as an adult, I appreciate [...]
In my effort to burn off my remaining vacation days for this year before I lose them, I spent today working from home. I got a lot of stuff done, and Princess Josephine (the cat) was very pleased. The new TV season really doesn’t have much to write home about. So far the only show [...]
I had to. Everyone else has a blog, and the lure was just too much for me. ^_^ If any people actually read this — besides my family and friends — they will probably wonder about the name. It’s a combination of my main site (Absolute-Zero), my name and the fact I’m a very proud [...]
