Attention fans of me: I'll be on America's Morning News radio show tomorrow morning at 7:30AM ET to discuss my show and the dating experiment and whatever else comes up. Seriously, I am ready for anything to come up. My hair? Ready for it to come up! Owls? Ready for them to come up! Um… other stuff? Ready for it to come up. The show is carried on a zillion and one million times twenty thousand stations (something like that) and you can listen to a live stream here tomorrow.
Here's what lucky viewer Kraytn won
On the last Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend I tried to make a construction paper four leaf clover which ended up looking like a fat green urn.
Here’s my guest Andrew Hunt, wearing the urn and showing off an orange he’d thoughtfully autographed for me (he’s Canadian and couldn’t take it back to Canada).
My second try was slightly more cloveresque (I’m wearing it in the above photo) and somehow near the end of the show you guys suggested I sign it and auction it on the show. Since I need money for the prop budget and also the construction paper budget and also my weave and my ball gowns and the horseshoes for my Clydesdales, I said ok. Kraytn won the above for fifty clams with the caveat that I throw in a signed photo. He’ll be receiving these lovelies in the mail this week.
Also on the show, we helped Koryn figure out which roommate she should select from the three she mentioned. I’m hoping to get her back on the show this Wednesday to fill us in on the roommate search. And also on the show I got married and divorced like fourteen times because that’s what happens when you’re looking for love and I have a heart too soon made glad which is a very literary and poetic reference which is the only kind I make except for when I don’t.
Oh hey, RSVP for the next show, won’t you? And feel free to inquire about all this hot junk!
Penelope Cruz Joins Cast of Pirates
Here's something I wrote for Yahoo today: http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/movie-talk-penelope-cruz-joins-pirates.html
Sad but true conversation I had yesterday
Me: Proceeds go to charity
Koryn: Why can’t they go to you? You’re kind of like a charity these days.
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.
Wait, this might be the one that's the most true to life
Wait, another logo to consider!
Which logo do you like best?
Most amazing comment I just got about last night's show
“I like how you can be nice to a mime and funny at the same time… I didn’t think that was possible.”
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.)
