This is the last time, I promise.

Some of you have wondered about the placement of the dot com. I own the whole long URL but haven’t done anything with it yet (other than whip society up into a frenzy regarding the identity of their new best friend, as revealed in this logo). In other news, I just woke up. It’s pretty hard to feel good about yourself when you get up after 1pm. In my defense, it’s 10am on the west coast which is where I was born so with some fancy logic I think I could convince a child that I’m still on CA time. Are there any children reading this? Let me know and I’ll watch my language and also explain why I woke up so late. The real reason though is because of the herd of buffalo roaming back and forth outside my window which I discovered isn’t a herd of buffalo at all, but a metal sheet in the street which cars insist upon driving over creating this big warbling buffalo-esque shaky sound not unlike the way sound effect artists make it sound like it’s raining. Only if there were doing that outside my window, it would be raining buffalo.

On tonight's Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend

Tonight’s show is quickly upon us and frankly I cannot wait. Can I wait? I think I just told you that I can’t!

I’m putting numbers in the double boiler right now because I’m thinking tonight might be a phone-a-fans night. Yes, you read that correctly. Phone-a-fans meaning I may phone more than one fan. If you are reading this for the first time and are wondering what I’m talking about, please try to keep up. In fact, I’ve been thinking I should make a show FAQ. It’s totally on my list of things to make.

Joining me during the second hour will be hilarious Canadian comedian Andrew Hunt. Want to watch one of his funny videos? Here’s one.

He teaches drama in his native Guelph, which I don’t even know how to pronounce, and apparently he and his class just got through some ferocious miming and he’s offered to teach me a bit of miming if I want. I’m weighing the options.

And of course there will be other stuff like the results of WEEK 2 of the Dating Experiment and a discussion about the whole experiment and the show and stuff because I really want to get your feedback. I feel like I’m in a weird spot and need some advice!

And pencil dancing! And deleted tweets! And THIS WEEK’S SPECIAL MESSAGES. Note: it’s not too late to get your special personalized message onto the show. For a $25 donation to the show budget I will read your message on air (provided it’s not a commercial which I have a separate price structure for) and send you an autographed photo. More info is on the advertising page about half way down. This is a special limited time promotion. Look what a sales machine I’m trying to become! (If interested, contact  alisonrosenisyournewbestfriend [at] gmail [dot] com and put “TWSM” in subject. At this time I only accept paypal.)

And RSVP for the show tonight!

“You  have insanely talented viewers,” Dustin said on the show a couple weeks ago. It’s true. They are not only talented but they are incredibly discerning in their choice of programming, specifically and exclusively with regard to me. Anyway, check out this hot action that appeared in my inbox today, courtesy of Kez Wilson!
