It’s an eventuality, rather than a possibility, that I will develop an ulcer. Hurricanes and the bad attitudes of the know-it-alls, who are gifted with 20/20 hindsight, throughout our lovely country practically guarantee it. I was born just outside of New Orleans. My parents, at the time, lived in one of the ‘burbs, and my [...]
It was D-Day, as in the day the washer and dryer were finally delivered. This might not seem like such a big deal, but it means I won’t have to practically build my entire schedule around my laundry. (A MAJOR improvement: The three things I hate doing most are — in no particular order — [...]
I stole this from the other Alison, who borrowe this from someone else. (That’s why it’s a meme, right?) At Music Outfitters, type the year of your high school graduation into the search box in the top left. It will give you a list of the Top 100 songs for that year. Bold = those [...]
And the moral of this story is…
Closed Published by Alison August 27th, 2005 in art & design, life, shopping.I really should know better, especially given who I represent, professionally… You get what you pay for, particularly in the area of art reproduction and framing. The very first thing you see, as you enter my lovely abode, is the empty wall/side of my pantry-turned-china closet. The lack of decoration has served as an annoyance [...]
I felt bad for Kitty-mon, a little while back, and got her a new toy. Now when I arrive at home, there is a demanding little critter who is living up to her nickname. “Hurry up. Stop messing with that stupid camera. And play with ME, darn it!!!” =^..^=
The last week has been insane… the result of too many things all pounding down at once. They didn’t squash me. I’m too little and have too much of a surly attitude for that to happen. ;-) The nasty sick feeling that drove me to the hospital in July came back with a vengeance toward [...]
I have a serious love-hate relationship with my laptop computer. Tonight, I’m loving it as I sit here in my darkened apartment, waiting out the mother of all lightening storms. Kitty-mon is miserable. I’m decidedly less so, thanks to my wireless network. No worries about electrical shock here! This evening’s previously scheduled family dinner ended [...]
I’ve got some strays, and I’d like to find them new homes. All DVDs are official U.S. releases and are in “like new” condition — i.e., they’ve been watched, glitch-free one time — unless noted. No returns will be accepted, if for some reason they don’t play for you. (The prices are cheap enough where [...]
Sunday Miscellany
Closed Published by Alison August 14th, 2005 in anime, clotheshorse, life, music, shopping.An insanely busy weekend: I got a lot of stuff done. Unfortunately, I don’t feel as if I really accomplished anything, and I certainly don’t feel particularly rested. Enough whining on my part. I did have some fun, after all. :-P This weekend’s random thoughts… – GILGAMESH is kinda kinky. (And I mean that in [...]
Just finished FABLES. WOW. A fantastic and unexpected execution of what many of us had expected. The Adversary has been revealed. WOW. If you haven’t checked out this series, you need to do so NOW.
