Funny enough to be listed on the NYC Comic Blogroll on comedy news site The Apiary. Yay for me!

OMG you guys
I had a scare this morning! See, I’m currently the proud owner of alisonmrosen.com, alisonrosen.com, alisonmrosen.net and alisonrosen.net. I’ve owned these for nigh on a year? A couple years? And every now and then I think I’ll do some fancy, um, back end work and make it so one of these hosts this very blog. I set up the CNAME and everything. So this morning I go to try it again and it saves settings successfully and then I type in this very blog’s address and it gives me a redirect page and I click yes and then it goes to a godaddy page… NOT MY BLOG. Do you know how much traffic I lost in that split second when the blog wasn’t there? Untold ones or twos! I’m dealing with huge numbers here, people. I can’t be offline!
But seriously, it’s as if I disappeared. It was like in Back to the Future when the photo got blurry.
So then I freaked out and yelled Hail Mary (note: did not yell Hail Mary) and then reverted to the original settings. Did I just click REVERT? NO! Because there isn’t a revert button. I retyped the old blogspot stuff in there and thankfully my blog came back to me. To us.
Anyway, I’m sure this is so super duper easy that one of you web experts can explain what I’m doing wrong? And how to avoid being offline for any period of time?
I answered your questions in this vlog!
Dear CVS Employee…
Dear CVS Employee Who Thinks That Eye Color Skips a Generation And Therefore You Will Have A Daughter With Light Eyes,
That is not how it works. I’m sorry.
Movie Reviews of Movies We Haven't Seen: Gran Torino

For the record I’d like to state that I’m not really losing my hair. I mean, yes, hairs fall out, but they’re replaced with new hair that I pull from a carton and tape to my head. Wait, I can’t even joke about this. Basically I shed, which I think everyone does, only because I have black hair you notice it more, especially if we’re playing fetch and I jump up on you and you’re wearing light colored clothing. Also, there’s one more to come, so don’t you worry about the part where Dustin says this is the final installment. Basically he’s just a big fat liar… who can’t whistle.
Drinking games that will get you drunk
In honor of today’s organized whiffleball championship, or Superbowl Sunday as you people insist on calling it, I bring you the following drinking games that will get you drunk. And yes I know I’m a day late:
Drink anytime someone says something
Drink after every time you swallow… a drink
Drink when you see a hat
Drink when you see rat
Drink when you rhyme… either intentionally or unintentionally
Drink when something happens during a televised sporting event
Drink when you see someone wearing something with pockets
Drink every time you think about sex… and every time you don’t
Drink every time you think about aardvarks… and every time you don’t
Drink when it dawns on you that there’s something weird about the fact you associate sex with aardvarks
Vlog with just me where I answer your questions sent in on Twitter
Remember when all the vlogs used to look like this? Those were the days. I think I’m getting kind of choked up. Things were so much simpler then. It was just me and a computer and a dream. Now it’s me and a computer and a dream and this baby born out of wedlock that I have to pay for by spending my nights dancing on Broadway. Oh, did I not mention? Yeah, that’s what I do these days. I put my imaginary baby through school by dancing on Broadway. Not in a show, just on the street.
I know you’re like “Well then why not film that? Certainly THAT would be more interesting than this” and you’re probably right, but the thing is what when I dance I really just let go and I don’t know if the camera could capture my moves. They’re really funky. Funky and yet also refined. But also animalistic. If you squint when I’m dancing, I kind of resemble a gecko. Anyway, you’ll just have to stop by sometime. I usually park it and then shake it on Broadway near that one building. You know the one. It’s kind of tall and has walls.
Also, enjoy this vlog which is unrelated to the above.
Movie Reviews of Movies We Haven't Seen: Revolutionary Road
Dustin and I decided to drop some knowledge on a few films we haven’t seen.
I'm cheating on Anna today…
and shooting some stuff with Dustin. Anna knows though, and she’s cool with it. In fact, she’s into watching.
Me: My place is really messy
Dustin: that’s alright, it’s verite.
A little something I like to do with eggs
Call me ecentric but when I buy a carton of eggs I like to make sure to bang into stuff on the way home, like walls or shrubbery or fences, so as to save precious scrambling time later.
