I was a bookworm, as a kid and young adult, in the full, teenage-Rory-Gilmore sense of the term. I always had some kind of non-textbook in my tote or purse, and cumulatively, during that time, I think I probably read more books than many people read in their entire lives. But I had fallen out [...]
I gave Heroes a chance to win me back… and it failed miserably. The “Speedster” is annoying. (I didn’t like her when she was the nerdy girl trying to date Landry on Friday Night Lights, either.) One Peter is enough. I don’t need a second one from the future. I never cared about Claire. Nothing [...]
U.F. Football: Gators 30, Tennessee 6
1 Comment Published by Alison September 20th, 2008 in go gators!, life.Another Gator win, but overall, while I’m O.K. with how we played — especially at this point in the season — I was disappointed in the game itself. When we play Tennessee, I want to see the Volunteers as tough as I know they can be. They weren’t today, and it was kind of a [...]
I just finished some work for the STUF and some work for the band. Now, I’m thoroughly exhausted. In a couple weeks, I’ll reveal the mysterious reason for all of the scurrying around, but right at this moment, I’m terrifically, horribly jealous of the peeps who made the trek to Anime Weekend Atlanta this weekend. [...]
Another super-busy Saturday, and I need to remember to take a picture of today’s haircut for my mom sometime tomorrow. The cable TV might as well be out. It keeps glitching up and has been doing so all day. (And they wonder why there are people non-plussed about the push toward digital? This is “Example [...]
Tomorrow Never Knows What It Doesn’t Know Too Soon
Closed Published by Alison September 12th, 2008 in life.What a screwy week. >_< I can’t believe it’s only been seven years. And I’m going to keep the rest of my thoughts on the matter to myself, since I really don’t feel like discussing politics on this blog. EVER. Also, my thoughts are with all the peeps down in Texas. I lived the drama [...]
Like the last couple of weeks, this work week kicked my butt for reasons I’ll go into at a future date. I mean, wow. It’s bad when I go home right after work on a Friday, right? The weekend should be pretty great though: My entire Saturday is planned around the Gators game. Yay for [...]

I thought I had purged a decent amount of my stuff when I moved from Florida to the Midwest. Guess what: I was wrong, wrong, WRONG! I spent most of yesterday and a good part of today reassembling my library/study. At least Miss Kitty was a happy camper: She had me as a captive audience [...]
