a good run


I always get sick. Nothing serious ever really, just a lot of annoying colds that promise a runny nose and being at 60% for a couple of days. I just about always more or less feel fine in that I can operate and go to school just so long i make sure to hang up my dancing shoes and instead sit quietly for a few days while I wait for my nose to dry up. Not that I have dancing shoes or anything anyways. But you get my point.

Last year I caught these colds maybe 15 or so times - during my two week winter break, I managed to catch a cold on three separate occasions! It was maddening. MADDENING.

So I said to myself, "Allison, you need to chin up and not get sick so often." And my immune system said "okay!" in a really high squeaky voice because that's what she sounds like.

My new game plan included a cup of green tea every morning, lots of whole grain English muffins, a nice sized serving of nonfat plain yogurt, lots of water, lots of fruits and vegetables, and a gummy multi-vitamin every morning. It was going to be a wonderful time of sinus clarity! (!!!!!!!!!)

Until this morning. I woke up and I let out a long sigh because I knew that the jig was up, the gravy train was over, the party done. But I guess it was a good run - three months, not bad at all. And now i must run - because that's what my nose is doing.

Fine, fine. That wasn't funny.

You can move the picture by cutting the HTML for the photo and then pasting it in the part of your post that you want it in. For example: "I always get sick.... (next paragraph) _insert HTML of Daniel Henney's pic_ So my funnie friend..." I hope that made sense.

p.s. Your friend must be a genius because he IS hot.

Bringing LeBron to the Bay

I'm not really that into basketball, or any sports for that matter. I have a few phrases that I obnoxiously insert into sports conversations just so I can feel involved with the conversation. Back in high school, I had random comments about Final Fantasy X that I like to think impressed boys: "wasn't the underwater soccer so cool?" Same goes for March Madness - "I love how unpredictable college basketball is - you can never really tell who's going to win." Don't judge me, I had a small life. Anyways, these have been the comments I've been carrying as of late: "the Lakers don't have a very deep bench." "Rondo needs to make more 3's." "Man, too bad Bynum's injured." Two guys at work were talking about last night's game, talking about who knows what, and then they somehow got into talk about LeBron. I know LeBron from the cute puppet commercials he does with Kobe, and his pink lemonade bubblicious gum. H...

Hi All! (all...four of you haha) I am always on the lookout for a good soba noodle recipe - one of my favorite lazy meals is to chop up some assorted vegetables (zucchini, carrots, onions, bell peppers, etc etc) and to stirfry it with soba noodles in some sort of teriyaki sauce, and it's good for like, three days! Anyways, I found this recipe on smittenkitchen: spicy soba noodles with shiitakes. http://smittenkitchen.com/2007/08/so-good-soba/ I was feeling extremely frugal and didn't want to spring the three bucks to buy chili paste and decided to make do with the lee kum kee garlic chili sauce that I had at home. photo credit: smitten kitchen *my noodles did NOT look like this haha basically, i overcooked the cabbage, didn't have sesame seeds, and for some reason it was very very soupy at the bottom, which I'm not sure is supposed to happen, but because the picture above feels distinctly arid, I think i messed up there too. I also think that not having the correct chi...

no soda makes allison crazie

i was walking home from safeway today with half a donut in my hand and half in my mouth when i realized that i have been eating a lot of junk lately. soda, chips, candy, all the usual vending machine delights. not to mention all the milk tea i've been indulging in. i am disgusting. i blame the maritime journal office. we have a small snack table that sells snack size doritos and cheetoes for 25 cents and canned soda for 50 cents. i have been assured that these are near to at cost prices. because it's just downstairs from my locker, i have no problem with going down there before i eat my lunch and grabbing a soda to go along with my meal, or grabbing a bag of chips as a midday snack. it's just too easy. milk tea is delicious, no doubt. if demanded of me, i would readily live off of shelled peanuts, string cheese, and peanuts. and the occasional orange to ward off scurvy. so even though i have to walk a little ways to get to quickly's and get a nice milk tea, i will do it...
