YAY! Another candy holiday! Candy holidays are the BEST! XD However, it did get off to an inauspicious start: When I did my “one last look” before leaving the apartment, I noticed that one of my favorite necklaces — it looks like a strand of pearls, except its sterling silver beads — was leaving a [...]

Good evening! Hope it’s been a great weekend for everyone out there! Without further ado, we have another installment of “buy Alison’s stuff” because I’d like to thin out the pile a bit before I put the leftovers on eBay. Here are the guidelines: – If you see something that interests you, leave a message [...]

First of all, my Gators beat No. 4 Georgia! Go Gators! Beyond that, here’s what else is shaking… – My dad didn’t end up coming down to hang my pictures. ( >_< ) So I’ll have to make alternative arrangments because I’m not waiting until May. – I worked for most of the morning and [...]

Thursday gets no love. It’s just one more stop on the way to Friday. That said, the last couple days or so have been long but, ultimately, pretty darn O.K. I kicked butt (at least, I *think* I did) on a project last night and picked up my second James Jean print from the framer’s. [...]

I got very absorbed with a project last night and forgot to post this week’s take… – BEAUTY IS THE BEAST, VOL. 1 by Tomo Matsumoto (VIZ / SHOJO BEAT) – CANTARELLA, VOL. 1 by You Higuri (Go! Comi) – CROSSROAD, VOL. 1 by Shioko Mizuki (Go! Comi) – FUSHIGI YUGI: GENBU KAIDEN, VOL. 2 [...]

Everything was so crazy that I forgot to note a very important anniversary: Absolute Aligator turned two last Wednesday. Two years and 352 entries. (Not bad when you consider I had never managed to maintain a journal of any kind more than a month or so, up until that point.) It all began with this [...]

We dodged another one, or more accurately, Wilma dodged us. She landed quite a bit south of here but we were still treated to a nice dose of tropical storm-strength winds this morning. They’re still going on right now, so today is a work-at-home day.

The Nine Inch Nails concert was AMAZING! The next time he is playing anywhere in the southeast I am SO going again. XD We had floor passes, which made me slightly nervous because I haven’t done that kind of thing since going to the occasional grunge-era shows during college. Despite the fact that I’m about [...]

1. Another hurricane is churning around in the Gulf. YUCK! Good thoughts going out to those affected, and of course, I’m praying we remain in the clear. (You almost feel guilty — almost, but not quite – when you wish these things because it’s going to hit somewhere, and the people who live there are [...]
