First day back at work. I’m glad I took the time to recharge because there’s SO much to do, and now I’m even more ready to tackle it. :-) Here’s how it all went down: Thursday: My “mope at home since I had to cancel my trip” day. Friday: Errands day, which consisted of buying [...]

batman: My first crush. Seriously. At three years old, when my bratty next-door neighbor Shawna and I would play, she would always looked surprised when I wouldn’t fight her about who was “married” to Robin. “Why would I want HIM?” was my reaction. “Bruce/Batman is the one who has all the money and is the [...]

Over the last couple of vacation-but-still-at-home days, I’ve been majorly tweaking the Web sites, with the most noticeable tweaks taking place right here at Absolute Aligator. Here’s a short list of the changes: – New layout and color scheme. (It’s a NANA-inspired color scheme/theme.) – Cleaned up links list. – Updated “All I’m Digging” section [...]

If you’re reading this, you probably have already guessed my bit of pissy news: I had to scrap my Atlanta trip. Luckily, I made the call early enough to avoid the hotel’s cancellation penalty and was able to bump my AWA pre-reg to 2006. The major factor in all of this is, of course, Hurricane [...]

I love my apartment, but at times, it is a cave. With the end of Daylight Savings Time rapidly approaching — thank God! — this could be a problem. So earlier this evening, I got a lamp. It might be too tall, since I’ve got a floor lamp to the back and left of what [...]

I’ve reached a major turning point with my writing. The stars are starting to align in my favor, and things, in general, rock!! My brain is too full at the moment, so it isn’t time to go into detail yet, but I am so psyched that I need to decompress before I go to sleep.

As of this very moment, I am 100% caught up on one of my major projects. YAY, ME!

I had been out and about pretty early because of some medical tests. As I was swinging back by my mom’s house, before heading into work, I heard the first news briefing on the radio. They thought it was an accident. The second plane had hit by the time my boss and I were on [...]

My weekend so far… – Oil change. Done. And the truck is all ready for my Hot-lanta jaunt. XD – NARUTO’s first episodes on CN: The dub was entertaining. I think I’m really, really going to like the uncut version even more. (And I *did* like what I saw tonight.) – Go UF!! – Finished [...]

This week’s been so up and down. It pains me when people politicize tragic situations rather than just digging in and doing what positive things can be done — at the time — to help. My self-imposed time off from blogging and non-work-related e-mail was an outgrowth of this. I needed a break from unsolicited [...]
