movie stubs

lint

that you drove 20 minutes in the wrong direction

weird body hair

normal body hair

but who can really say what’s normal, you know?

a crumbly piece of paper you left in your jeans and put in the wash

that you ate a lot of grapes

pennies (note: not from heaven)

that thing you were looking for but don’t need anymore

pen caps

The Daily Alison (Where there were technical difficulties)

Man what a pain in the heinie this one was! The audio and visual weren’t synced correctly for some reason and then I tried to fix it and it got worse. You probably think I’m talking about the way the video was recorded but I mean my own audio and visual weren’t synced. I was moving my lips too fast for my brain. Or maybe the words were coming too fast for my face to catch up? I forget which one is ahead of the other which is part of why trying to correct the problem was a real bugaboo. Just got back from Dustin’s housewarming. Safe to say the house is officially toasty. And Dustin’s letting me borrow his bike! Isn’t that super nice? I think it’s super nice. Especially since I was kind of a jerk back in the segment where I wondered if I was a jerk.

Hi, I suck!

You guys, I kind of suck. I didn’t do a Daily Alison today because I’m on deadline working on a story and haven’t really slept in two days. As such you can imagine my skin is glowing and I’m a vision in sweatpants. I wasn’t going to point out that I hadn’t done an episode today, in fact I was hoping you wouldn’t notice, but then I went and shot off my mouth. Goddamnit, me! So now I’m just waiting for some news to break so I can figure out which way to go. The options?

1. To sleep

2. Not to sleep

3. Somewhere else

4. On a journey of discovery

5. On a day trip

6. Go-Karting

7. This could really be funnier

8. I’m sleepy

9. Go-Karting

10. Shit I already said that.

11. Huh?

Oh and also today I was… um… okay I lost interest in telling that story in the middle of the story. Let’s hope tomorrow is funnier and more awesome. I should probably unpack one of these days, huh? I should have put that on the list!

The Daily Alison (Where I'm back in NY)

I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to pull off an episode today but look, I did! Just barely!

Also, there are some photos of me on a boat with a bike which are on a friend’s phone and I’m waiting for him to send them to me because the fact that I did that is beginning to get surreal and urban legendesque.

Also, on the plane I watched Locked Up Abroad: Barbados. Have you seen this? It was so engrossing I could barely change the channel to watch Michael and Michael Have Issues!
