The torrential downpour out there makes me really happy that I have a cat rather than a dog. Meow. ^_^ Current Music: “Underdog” – Boom Boom Satellites from APPLESEED OST
First Con of the Year
Closed Published by Alison February 27th, 2005 in anime, art & design, books & reading, events, music, shopping.I spent part of yesterday at Megacon. The lack of presence by CG was definitely noticeable, and there really wasn’t a strong anime representation in the dealers’ room. (And quite a bit of what was in the room was bootleg, which makes you feel for those dealers who offer only licensed merch like AnimeNation.) Anyway, [...]
I’m going to be in glasses for MONTHS. >_< And my happy self will be trotting to the optometrist for a new pair of specs next week because: A. While I actually like my current pair, I can’t imagine being limited to only “look,” so to speak. (My shallow reason.) and B. Can’t you just [...]
I woke up with the same headache that drove me to bed so early last night, and I have part II of the eye appointment today. NO FAIR! (As if “fairness” had anything to do with anything. >_<) I’ll live. Just felt like venting a bit. ^_^
Regularly scheduled, semi-buzzed Friday night blog post. ;-) If there ever was a week that would drive one to imbibe, it would be this one, and it’s all summed up in three words: eye doctor appointment.

Yesterday’s patently (and figuratively) schitzo pace gave way to a pretty rad day. (I’m doing my best to ignore my — literally — bloody eyes that are starting to give me a massive headache as I’m typing this very entry.) For someone who knows better, I have a serious dislike of going to the doctor, [...]

The third kind are my favorite. Especially when I’m the responsible party. (And these days, I am. ^_^ ) BTW: [...]

Closed Published by Alison February 11th, 2005 in life, manga.I’ve been lame this week: I haven’t updated either the blog or LiveJournal because I’ve been swamped with work — for actual work ;-) — and because I’ve been feeling gross. The weather’s partially to blame, but the plus side is that I barreled through volumes two through six of FLOWERS AND BEES last night. [...]
Wondered how long it would take to reach this milestone, and unfortunately tonight was the night: I received a press release from a major studio that is so poorly written it is factually incorrect. As a journalist and public relations professional, I can’t — in good conscience — redistribute it on my sites. And NO, [...]
I stole this from the other, WAY-too-cool Aligator. Check out this link: Gizoogle Absolute Aligator: Tha Work, Projects n Mus’n of Alison L. Roberts. Giggle. ^_^
