This grainy video was shot with my BlackBerry as opposed to the Flip cameras which both Dustin and Anna have because they’re fancy. Why am I not fancy, you ask? I don’t know. It’s not for lack of trying. Anywhoozle, after I did The 404 today the guys asked me to record a couple greetings and sign their wall and pose for some photos and take my clothes off. I thought the clothes thing was kind of weird, but I’m a good sport and they assured me this is what they always do and it’s what Steve Guttenberg will be doing on Friday and stuff. Then Natali Del Conte told me the guys had crushes on me and then I tried to film this crappy little video but they kept talking about their man crush on Clayton Morris. I’m sorry, why weren’t we talking about me again? I’m still baffled.
Not my best vlog but I answered some questions! (and my mom called)
Did I just stop breathing for a second? I feel lightheaded and out of it/retarded. And if you happen to be my one friend who doesn’t like the word retarded… I’m sorry. I’m offensive right now. Offensively slow. In fact, if I cared at all about only coming off as fantastically entertaining I would take this vlog out back and shoot it. But no, I’m too lazy to do another one so up this one goes. Consider yourself warned.
I love The 404
Totally and completely. And not just because they wrote this.
(I’ll write more about the experience later but wanted to throw up the above link so you can read their post and also download the show should you be so inclined.)
St. Louis loves me
I love being loved!
See me and hear me but more like just hear me
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
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.
Movie Reviews of Movies We Haven't Seen: Wall-E
How funny am I?
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?
