Janet Evanovich came to work today — something good to cheer me up during this seemingly-terminal rainy season. I got a signed copy of PLUM SPOOKY out of the deal, and read about 20 pages while waiting for the presentation to begin. It’s fun. There’s a monkey in it. Janet & I also updated our photo — one of…
When you type in "Alethea" to Google search, my website is the fourth one down. The first two listings are for Baby Name sites. The fifth is for the "Kung Fu" episode I’m named after. And the third is for a chocolate store in New York state, founded by a Greek woman from Kozani. For years, I’ve wanted to…
I forgot how much the population of the gym at work explodes every January. Last night I had a hawk-eyed older woman breathing down my neck while I signed up for my slot at the elliptical machines every night but Thursday (Sk8 Nite!). I couldn’t write fast enough.

This is so awesome, my geekness exploded. (And not just because the article used pics from the Doctor Who episode "Being Human.") You should all endeavor to do something awesome with your Leap Second tonight. Make a wish. Make it a good one.
On this, the last morning of 2008, I have made a brilliant discovery that will affect the rest of my life forever: Wheat is one of my migraine triggers. If you’d like to know more about migraines (and some of the foods that are major triggers), you can read about them online (like here). Dr. Theda also highly recommends…
I used nihilistic_kid ‘s haiku generator and came up with this one for me: odd people roamingthe grounds what a wonderfulmagical place this I like it. Here’s the link if you want to make your own!
Technically it’s not "day five" anymore, but who’s counting? I’ll still make it to eight. Thing that made me happy today: irony. I realized, after going over my exhaustive list of movies this weekend (while on the crosstrainer at the gym working off all those sausage balls), that 1.) most of the films I watched were period pieces which…
For Christmas, my sister (who owns this place) sent me a bunch of DVDs. So instead of waking up Saturday morning and calling my family and thanking them properly for my gifts, I finished PS, I Love You (the book) curled up on the couch, and hid from the world for 48 hours…well, until Kelli Dunlap called me and…
