So I haven't been posting much lately the past four or five days.  You may attribute it to the  holidays or me being busy.

But, in truth, it is all Alyson Hannigan's fault:



Bad, bad Alyson!  Don't look at me that way, you know I'm supposed to be blogging.

It all started last week week I decided to download a free episode of How I Met Your Mother from iTunes.  I mainly did it because I knew Alyson was in it and I had heard good things about it. 

Next thing you know I've bought the season 1 and season 2 on DVD.  I spent the next several days roaring through the all the episodes of the show marathon style - only emerging from my room to attend to the basic needs of life.  Then returning to my room like the simpering addict I am.

It is an extremely funny show.  I spent many an hour laughing a loud at it.  But mainly it is especially addictive for me because Alyson is both really, really cute and she plays adorable characters so well. 

Her Lily, like her Willow in the five season run of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (everything in Buffy after season five is dead to me), is just the epitome of an adorably cute character thanks to Alyson.

For a time in the thrall of what shall be known as Alyson-Fest 2007, I briefly decided:

1. To only watch shows with Alyson Hannigan in them.
2. Women's cuteness, or not, would forever be measured in units of Alyson Hannigan.
3. "What do you think of Alyson Hannigan" is not only an acceptable question, but in fact a critical one when going out on a date!

Of course, as I gradually go into detox from watching Alyson play Lilly (or other characters) - I'll probably revise those views a bit.

And thanks to the writer's strike it may be a while before there are more episodes to watch, so I'll probably need another actress to serve as my methadone during the long months of Alyson withdrawal...

Naturally, because of this I totally missed Christmas Eve and Christmas!

So Alyson,

You stole Christmas too!    Don't you feel bad now?
