The Daily Alison (Where my friends set fire to a Nagel… also, my dad!)
Hey everyone! I have a longer blog post in me with all sorts of photos and details. I’ve been running around keeping my friends from setting themselves aflame so I haven’t had time to blog. Also, there was the bike ride and, as you’ll see in the above video, the walking. But soon I’ll be back to more regular blogging, I promise!
The Daily Alison (Where I talk to my friends in a car. Plus Tobey and my dad make appearances!)
The Daily Alison (Where I talk to my dad in person about my daredevil athleticism)
Don’t tell my parents but I think I’m a little sunburned!
The Daily Alison (where I interview Tobey in the house I grew up in )
The Daily Alison (Where Rex Sorgatz answers tough questions in person!)
When I told my imaginary camera man that we were going on location to shoot someone he suggested we use some professional equipment and try to get both people in the shot. “Hell no!” I thundered. My viewers have come to expect a certain level of homespun ineptitude and I’ll be damned if I’m going to start changing it up now. Then I insisted he get a tight shot of my hairline and a sliver of one of my eyes.
Today’s guest is Rex Sorgatz whom I didn’t really properly introduce but he’s a writer, media personality and longtime blogger. It turns out he and I both used to write for Minneapolis City Pages and can spout useless-but-interesting critical theory. Plus, we have some mutual friends.
Fun fact: The second or third question in the Alison Rosen Getting To Know You Getting To Know Me Quiz is always “What’s your favorite condiment?” 100 percent of people polled have said mustard. That’s like four or five people!
The Daily Alison (where we finally hear from Dustin Goot)
Is there a duck in here?
I love this video of the duck ring tone that interrupted Obama for two reasons;
1) When I was a kid I had a phone that quacked like a duck only it sounded like a Satanic electronic squawking, not an actual quack, but still.
2) “Is there a duck in here?” is one of my favorite euphemisms for asking if someone farted. Ooh, if I were less mature I’d condone fart sounding ring tones. Good thing I think that’s sophomoric and totally beneath me.
The Daily Alison (where I read you a story and show some pictures)
This episode is delightfully loose. Right? I think? Maybe? It’s chock full of photos and silly books. And names of guests that don’t appear.
Oh hey and check out the fancy junk on the right side of this blog! It’s fancier than it was yesterday.
The Daily Alison (where Jeff Bakalar has sexy bruises)
Read more about Jeff Bakalar of CNET’s The 404! And read more about how I hate shopping here.
And here’s a picture of me and Jeff. (Maybe I’ll start putting photos in here more?)
