See me and hear me but more like just hear me

By on February 3, 2009 in god I love me, radio

So… tomorrow, Wednesday at 11AM ET I’m doing CNET’s 404 podcast which streams live and which you can download (the audio portion) after the fact. Was that even a sentence? I don’t know I just know that my buddyroo Natali Del Conte suggested I do this and she says jump, I say, “How high?” Mostly so that then I can twitter about it and drop her name. Did I mention I know Natali Del Conte? Because I do.

The thing is that The 404 covers all sorts of stuff like pop culture and, um, other stuff and I’ve had my head so far up my butt working on this Top Secret Project Which May Be The Manhattan Project Who Knows, I hardly even knew that Christian Bale freaked out when he caught Michael Phelps smoking Ashton Kutcher’s pot. You know?

So that’s tomorrow at 11AM ET and you can watch it here then (click on the 404). But I repeat, it’s an audio thing that just happens to be streamed live (I think). It’s not a show so don’t expect me to be wearing clothes.

Obviously I’m kidding. What I mean to say is that maybe I’ll shower, maybe I won’t. I can’t rightly say right now.

BUT WAIT, I have a special treat the following day, which is THURSDAY, for all my fans in St. Louis. Do I have any fans in St. Louis? I will wait for them to make some noise.

Oh for fuck’s sake, I don’t have all day. Toddrod, I’m sorry about the language.

I’ll be on 550 KTRS’s The Large Morning Show in the Afternoon around 5pm ET on Thursday. That’s 4pm CT. I could go on with the time zones, but I won’t. You can listen to this awesomeness online apparently although I tried earlier and it didn’t work. You best believe me I let those Missourians know what I thought about that. I cracked open a can of Christian Bale on their ass.

Vlog outtake

By on February 3, 2009 in dustin, video, vlogs, where’s anna

Is it possible to have an outtake of what’s essentially an outtake? Is Dustin Goot essentially saying my face needs sculpting, i.e. IS FAT? Can I keep asking questions using the word essentially? Are you essentially still reading this?

Oh um also, please be impressed by my amazing eyebrow dexterity. Surely I’ve told you about the headache inducing hours (yes, plural) I spent in front of a mirror teaching myself how to do that? Oh I haven’t? Well pull up a chair. Wait don’t, it’s a boring story. But magical too. Boring and magical.

OMG you guys

By on February 3, 2009 in Uncategorized

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?

Movie Reviews of Movies We Haven't Seen: Gran Torino

By on February 2, 2009 in dustin, reviews of movies we haven’t seen, video, vlogs, where’s anna

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

By on February 1, 2009 in lists

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

By on February 1, 2009 in vlogs

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.
