new couch
we have a new couch now. it is 20 billion times more comfortable than the old piece of poop. corey kicked me off it because he wanted to take a nap. what a fart face.
p.s. kitty's new nick name is "chippy".

waitiortman png for my hair to dry
i woke up sort of late this morning. (past eight! oh no!!) i hope my hair gets dry in time.
kitty is look for grubs under the keyboard. i don't think she's going to fing any. will she ever stop being cute?
last night we watched garden state and it was so-so. natalie portman bugs me. and it also bothers me when they cast people to be "free spirited" because people who are free spirited in real life are annoying so a person acting free spirited is annoying times 10.
that is all i have to say about that.
breffix time!

oh yeah
did anyone watch kevin hill last night? i don't usually watch this show. in fact i never watch it. but for some reason i stopped on it in the openeing credits and guess who he was in bed with? EVA FROM AMERICA'S TOP MODEL! what the hell was that about ? anyway, i thought that eva (from being my friend, no relation to the top model) would want to know. and maybe cat because she likes her too. but i don't think cat READS THIS. because she doesn't read anybodys blog. PSSHA.
shit! i have to get ready! i haven't eaten yet!

christ.
does anyone know where my talkie walkie cd? i can not find it anywhere and it is starting to piss me off. i want to re-live whatever i was doing this time last year.
instead i'll just listen to nick cave.
okay, WILL, if you are reading this (and you better effin' be!) i forgot to tell you that the other day while walking to work i passed this lady walking her dog. the dog had just taken a dump and she was about to pick it up and it was STILL STEAMING!!! HA!!
okay. nick cave is only good for about two songs right now.
jeesh.

wednesday.
not including this post, i have 324 entries and 234 comments on this website. is that just blowing your mind or WHAT right now?
today i rode the number 17 bus downtown. i don't really like that bus. it's crowded but i guess that is what you get when you ride a bus downtown. also, it occured to me that i should be buying an "all day pass" in the morning instead of paying once in the morning and once in the afternoon. that way i'll be paying $2.50 instead of $2.75. a quarter saved is a quarter spent on somthing else right?
i suppose the damage is done though, because i've been riding the bus for like 8 days now.
whatevs.
so while i was downtown this afternoon i tried on about 20 pairs of jeans. i hate jeans right now. whatever. i should probably go wash my face and go to bed but i'm not tired yet.
there is too many dishes to do and i'm having one of those weeks when i don't wnat to do anything.

weekend pictures
here are some pictures of this weekend.
this is a picture of the snack tray that we took to the chinese new year party. yum yum.
this is brett as bob villa or something. i'm not sure.
this is what corey looked like sunday while we waited to get breakfast.
this is a cherry blossom tree looking rad.
same tree, still looking rad.
this is me after we ate breakfast on sunday. note the red sweater.
i changed into this red sweater to go on our walk. before that i was wearing a red zip up thingy. then after we got home i changed again into yet another red shirt, this time it was sleeveless.
corey is taking a "nap" right now. and i am really tired and i would also like to just go to bed. but it is too early. maybe i'll go read my book. why are we turning into old people?

today is tuesday. isn't it weird when your work week starts on tuesday instead of monday? last night was cool because EVERWOOD was on and it was really good. i'm really getting into that show. anyone who doesn't already watch it should start. corey likes it too. at least he watches it when it's on. i don't know if that means he likes it or not though.
we got a lot of stuff done this weekend.
saturday we drove around and bought jumper cables to see if we could jump the battery of my car. it didn't work. something else is wrong with it. corey tells me it's the flux capacitor and i believe whatever he says. he's really smart.
later that night we went to scoots "chinese new years party" and he made a lot of hot and sour soup. i burned my tongue on it and that was no fun.
sunday we went to breakfast at julia's in wallingford which is always busy and always good. i watched a girl dump about 2 cups of syrup on her french toast and then her sister(?) caught me looking and i felt dumb. also, this other girl was cackling at the comics she was reading and it was annoying. she said "HAHAHAHAHA! THIS IS THE FUNNIEST COMIC I HAVE EVER READ!!" and her boyfriend just looked on. it was sad.
after that we walked to the u district and went to the bookstore and spent too much money and then to the magazine store where we bought too many magazines. we are going to need a new bookshelf soon. i got Vice Dos & Don'ts : 10 Years of VICE Magazine's Street Fashion Critiques and it is amazing. everyone should come over to my house and read it with me.
monday corey caught up on work and i went to fred meyer where i got hit on in the meat department. hit on in the meat department! HA!!
oh yeah, we are getting a new (old and used but not dirty or smelly) couch next weekend. it is totally cute and i'm really excited to sleep on it and accessorize it. that means putting so many pillows on that you can't even sit on it!!
overall weekend: A-
now i need to find a shop to take my piece of crap car to get fixed. PSSHA!!

friday
did anyone watch survivor last night? what about er? eva? did you ? probably not. it was okay. i think. i don't really remember now.
today is a long work day. well, regular for most people. long for me.
today is friday and i hope i don't fall asleep at 8 again tonight. that is lame. but i know corey will be tired and sometimes when he gets tired it transferes over to me.
last night we ate food from paseo, the cuban place around the block. i felt like a jerk because i handed the guy my card to pay for it and he's all "oh, we only take cash or checks" so i went to maketime and got money and thought 'i bet there is a sign like right there that says "CASH or CHECK ONLY!!!!" or something.'
then i went back there and there was a sign and i felt a jerk for not being aware of my surroundings.
i straightened my hair today. someone just gave it "4 and a half stars!"
thats good right? right.
TTFN!

i'll be riding the bus this morning
last night as i was driving home from eva's school in west seattle my car crapped out. i thought at first that i might have ran out of gas (lame) but after my lights went out i knew that that wasn't it. OF COURSE the cell phone that i had was corey's and the battery was almost dead. it died when i was on hold with the costco roadside assistance peeps. i was able to tell them where i was but that is never really enough for them because a tow truck didn't come for another 3 hours. he claims "bad directions" and he "didn't see me the first time".i am so thankful that eva was able to come and wait with me, because it was fucking freezing out. and all i had on was a sweater. psssh. while we were in the car the kylie minogue song "i believe in you" came on and it is my new favorite song. everyone should go check it out. brent has "ultimate kylie" or some shit and i bet he'd burn you a copy. or you could listen to "C 89.5" and wait for it to come on there.
so... in conclusion old cars are dumb, eva is a good friend, tow truck drivers are doofs, and kylie minogue is cool. yea!
wait. one more thing. i forgot to say that when i got home last night corey had
1. cleaned the apartment
2. washed dishes
3. had dinner waiting
4. bought my new favorite salsa ("salsa in the dark") and chips and a toffe bar
he also gave me a valentine gift of a soap dish and soap and a flower to take to work and put on my desk. the soap dish is way cool and so is the flower. i used this soap this morning. WOO. corey is way cool.

a sort of crappy valentine evening
SHOUT OUT TO EVA:
thanks for coming to my rescue tonight when my car broke down on the west seattle bridge, an even worse place for your car to die than I-5 in everett. i owe you. big time
i really want a new car.
Posted by alison at 08:54 PM | Comments (1)
yeah. a few things
1. this computer is being very slow. i hate it.
2. i got my hair cut on saturday. did i already mention that? i might have. anyway. yesterday it was way cute. and today i wasn't able to let it totally air dry so now my bangs aren't being "cute curly bangs" and it's dumb. they are instead being "sort of wavy weak ass bangs". i might need to put a pin in them.
3. there is gross chocolate cake in the fridge. i'm not a fan of this kind of cake usually but i really want some. but i won't eat it. because i'm not going to eat anything that is not worth eating. something.
4. just a FYI: today is valentines day. corey and i will probably not be going to eat dinner or anything because that is weak ass. (also, neither of us get paid till thrusday.) anyway. here is a story:
valentines day is usually very lame. so lame that i think of it as being just a regular day. i have no idea what happened last valentines day. someone remind me please. i just looked on a calendar and it says that it was on a saturday. meh. that doesn't jog my memory so it probably wasn't that exciting.
however, i DO remember valentines day of 2003. i lived in iowa city. and corey came to visit me for a long weekend. i picked him up from the cedar rapids airport on thursday night. i drove him around IC and then we went to my house and went to bed because it was late. the next day was friday and i had to work from 10 - 5. lame! corey walked me to work. i asked if i could leave early. i think i left at 3 or something. it was still light out. i got home and corey was there. fun! then mark called and we went to george's and i ate a cheesy bun. corey had a hamburger if i remember correctly. when we left we stopped by "dirty johns" which is not the real name but actually a nick name. we got some berry flavored beer that is really good. i can't remember the name right now but i will find out. anyway, when we left it started to snow. we walked home and had drinks. it kept snowing. after a while we set out to walk to eagles food store. it's wasn't that far by then the snow was deeper. we bought food for dinner which was potato soup. i bought wine and didn't get carded. i thought i was pretty cool. when we walked home corey told me that i dragged my feet when i walked and then pointed to the footprints that i had been making. i was embarrassed. we got home and made dinner. then i gave him a hat that i made him. he said he wanted a black beanie that folded. i bought really expensive yarn from austrailia that was really soft. now the hat is stretched out and looks like a rasta hat. corey won't wear it. before corey came to visit me i told him he better not have any "ideas" about valentines day because i hated valentines day so he better not fucking get my anything. and he didn't. looking back on it i feel bad for yelling at him. i am a be-yotch.
ANYHOO, the rest of the weekend was really fun and after i got home from work on that monday he said "i can really see myself marrying you". i didn't say anything except for "oh" and then about a week later i said "so i hope i'm not being too presumptuous, but i bought one of those wedding magazines"
and from then on it was just sort of known that we would get married. of course he proposed "properly" when i went home for spring break. but i don't think very many people know this other story. maybe some people do. i have no idea though.

nick turned 21. and i think it happened a few days ago.
last night i went to nick's b-day p-tay. i had a dream early this morning that i had stayed over there and in the morning i wanted to call corey. so nick said "okay" and then he showed me his phone which was actually his alarm clock that he turned into a cell phone. so he made the clock-phone dial my number and nobody picked up and it went to voicemail. but it was really nicks voicemail and it was a woman speaking. WEIRD!!!
also, this afternoon corey and i got double haircuts. i really like mine. i like corey's but he needs to put some product in it already.
we have movies to watch now and my feets are cold.
goodbye.

listen
eva put some pictures up. everyone should look at them. there is one of me that is priceless. for reals. i hope she puts more up because i like me some pictures!
i am hungry for lunch. i cannot see straight.
earlier today someone asked if i had floss floating around in my purse. i was really grossed out. even if i did have floss in my purse i wouldn't let them use it. if it was anyone else it would be fine. it's just the way they said "floss" and "floating" and "purse" that sent shivers up my spine. ew.

afternoon
i can't decide what i should do when i get home in 15 minutes. should i wash a bunch of clothes and then take the dresser out of the closet and fill it with clothes? or should i finish making valentine cards?
yesterday i went to eva's school to volunteer. there was one girl who is my favorite. she said "you make me laugh." and i said "why?" and she said "you just do" she was really cute and now i am excited to go back on thursday.
also: the buckaroo is closed until 5 today. becasue they are filming a comerical. WTF?
i think i'm going to make valentine day cards. and watch "girlfriends"

valentine day cards
i don't want to give away too much here, but i'm making valentine day cards.
i was looking for the lyrics to a bon jovi song and the one i was thinking of goes like this :
"shot throught the heart and you're to blame
you give love a bad name"
so i typed "shot through the heart" into google and i got these lyrics:
"Shot through the heart as I lay there alone
In the dark through the heart
It's all part of this game that we call love "
and i read that and thought "wtf? that isn't right." but i kept saying the words in my head and trying to make it fit to the tune i was thinking of.
so then i googled the whole line and it came of with something totally different, which happened to be exactly what i was looking for.
i didn't know this (because i don't listen to bon jovi that much) but he used "shot through the heart" for two totally different songs. what a jerk. did everybody else know this except for me? because i think it's preatty lame.
that is all i have to say about that.

this morning
i took corey to work this morning. i realized the other day that he goes to work when it's dark out and then he comes home when it's dark out. and he doesn't leave his office in the day time. isn't that messed UP!?
he's getting his haircut today and i'm jealous. only not really because i can get my hair cut later.
the house smells like garlic and it's gross.

yesterday and today
so last night after i stuffed my face with egg salad i went over to eva's 'hood so we could eat dessert at B&0 coffee. i told myself on the way over that i was full and that i would just get coffee. but eva convinced me otherwise. and i'm glad she did. i got a "chocolate pot" which pretty much tasted like brownie batter. nothing is better than uncooked brownie. am i right? yes. anyway, i also got a coffee thinking that it wouldn't keep me up and it was no big deal even though it was so late. so i got home at 11. i went to bed for about 10 minutes. corey had had the covers all wrapped around him and when i got in the bed it felt like had set the bed to preheat to 400 degrees or some shit. so i rolled around and then the cat kept being bitchy. i got up and went into the other room to feed her catnip and read a magazine i stole from eva's building. (life and style) i went to bed again at 12 and had nightmares and woke up three or four (or more) times really sweaty and gross. every time i'd wake up corey would say "are you okay" and then i would think what the hell. yes. i'm fine. i'm just sweaty. anyway. at about 4 in the morning after i had kicked all the covers onto corey and he was all "fleroenroaeryoeiruh!!" i moved my foot and he get got up and stomped out. because i was rolling around too much and getting sweaty because of nightmares. he was very cranky. after that i had the entire bed to myself and i still didn't get a very good nights sleep.
i got pho for lunch today. i got it to go and brought it back to work. i opened it and everything was compartmentalized really cutely! i love it. this was the first time i ate the creampuff after the soup.
i want a haircut.

it's dinster time. where is corey
sooo.... i'm going to make egg salad sammy's for dinner tonight. how do you like that? i've never made them before and it's usually something i'd stay away from. but, i do like me some hardboiled eggs. i made some yesterday so i'm going to make some more tonight. i also like how the "salad" part of the egg salad is just mayo and mustard. YUM YUM RIGHT? plus, i'm sick of making noodles and sauce. I HATE YOU NOODLES AND SAUCE!!
tomorrow i work for a full day and i am excited. after that i will head on over to FM and buy groceries.
just thought you should know..
love,
ali

feb. 1
it's tuesday. it's really nice outside and it feels like summer. or spring time. something. i have books to pick up at the library today and i'm really excited. i also really want to go to the gap and try some jeans on. but i'm not sure if i should because if i tried them and they fit, then i would have to use my stupid gap card to buy them. and i don't really want to do that. so should i go and try them on? or what? i don't know what to do.
last night i started making valentine cards for peeps and i want to continue to do that this afternoon also. i'm hungry.
