Hola. Bonjour. Gutentag.

Though I’ve been blogging through various mediums over the past decade, it seemed like it was about time to set one up that’s all about Allison Rost, the professional. (Or, as you can see on the front page of my Web site, the editor/writer/professional goofball.) So if you clicked over here expecting to see my thoughts on health-care reform or cheap dining in Los Angeles, this isn’t that kind of blog. (But believe me, I have them!)

No, this is a place where I’m going to liberate old essays that I’ve written in my off-time…and maybe publish some stuff that I put together as we go along. My training as a newspaper reporter has been tough to shake, so a lot of what you’ll see are more personal-type writings, doneĀ  in the first person, that I’ve started to test out the form. But I’ve also found plenty of amusing/interesting documents in my personal archives that have made me laugh, so some of those may be making appearances as well.

If you’re more interested in my off-the-cuff writings and updates, check my Twitter and (if you know me well!) Facebook pages.

And…here we go!
