On the last Ustream show there seemed to be some concern regarding my lack of exfoliation. Well, look at me now.
Whither my socks?
What are the chances the laundry place is systematically “disappearing” my socks, one at a time, in a perverse effort to make me think I’m losing my mind… and also my socks? I don’t mean to point fingers, but I really feel the rate of return on my socks is low. Which begs the question, what are they doing with my socks? Are they tying them together and creating a zip line to get across the street? Are they starching the shit out of them and then using them as crude shovels to tunnel a way out? Are they filling them with potting soil and growing Gerbera? (You may know it as the common daisy, typically grown in stolen socks.) Please send answers. And socks.
UPDATE: I just want to add that I’m aware the whole “are my socks disappearing in the dryer” thing has been done before however I’m suggesting they are getting STOLEN, not just lost, hence my spin on this is obviously new, novel and edgy. Plus, I’m literally missing socks, which means my comedy is rooted in truth. I’m like the Mort Sahl of hosiery.
Morning duckling
A friend sent this to me. Naturally I had to share. And by the way, the title is "morning duckling" as in "a duckling in the morning" however it could also be read as "good morning, duckling!"
Highlights
I mentioned this on Twitter last night but just wanted to make sure you guys know that anyone can make highlights on the Ustream videos so if you have a favorite part of an episode that you want everyone to see, feel free to get on in there and designate it!
Also, just wanted to send a big special thank you to all of you for being so awesome in both the funny and the more serious moments.
Picture of a duckling? Ok!
Picture of me on Red Eye from the collection of pictures on my desktop which I haven’t yet put on my blog? Ok!
Look how emphatic I am! Feisty!
Another? Fine, if you insist.
And by the way, that shirt is green, not blue. I don’t know why it looks blue.

On the next Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend
Tomorrow, Wednesday, JAN 20 at 10pm EST/7pm PST
My pal Laura Leu will come over and give me an accordion lesson! Also, we’ll chat with comedian Liam McEneaney who’s hosting a benefit for Haiti on Jan 25 featuring Fred Armisen, Todd Barry, Janeane Garafalo, Kristin Schaal, Wyatt Cenac and other people whose names I don’t have in front of me! Dammit why don’t I have their names in front of me? Someone is getting fired for this.
Not only that, Liam is all buddyroo with Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, or so it seemed at the show I saw him host where I won a raffle. Remember that? I intend to find out if it was as exciting for Liam as it was for me. I suspect it was.
And also, we’ll be inaugurating a new segment where we call up a fan. Yes, that’s right, the FIRST FAN PHONE CALL! OR perhaps that should be written PHIRST PHAN PHONE CALL! No, I’m sorry, it shouldn’t be written that way.
Oh and as a side note did you know I learned I draw as many viewers as Kevin Pollak’s Chat Show which is considered super awesome and a sign that one can have success doing internet chat shows? Why I’m not rolling around in sponsor dollars—or any dollars—is beyond me. Anyone know any sponsors? Send them my way please, lest I get evicted in the midst of a broadcast which would be super embarrassing!

Here I am in the green room before Red Eye
Here I am in another green room during the taping of Red Eye when Dr. Baden was doing his segment and they were all, “Hey Alison, get the hell out of here.” “Fine,” I replied ruefully. “I’ll go take a photo of myself in the green room.” Then I cursed them mightily up and down. They were none the wiser.
And then after the show I was going to go home but next thing I knew I was at a party. Here’s Laura Leu.
And here’s Lauren Sivan.
And then here I am behind but also next to Bill Schulz.
Ooh look, an accordion which to feature prominently in an upcoming segment on my Ustream show when aforementioned Laura Leu who plays a mean squeezebox gives me a lesson!
And then here’s one of my new plants which still needs a name.
