Must have computer.
Sit on this
My current computer chair is so old that when I sit on it a little cloud of dust puffs up from the seat and it’s so uncomfortable that often after long periods of working everything feels achy and unsupported. Which is to say I hate it and it’s time for a new one. But what kind? I’m working on a limited budget. Can anyone recommend and cheap but not ass-, neck-, and back- killing chair?
The Daily Alison (Ep. 95, Where I wear a tank top and answer your questions)
Thanks to @prototypedemo, @mikeyrosen, @jaqobjackson, @lugnuts6, @CCCPAssasin, @TresJefesErik, @2xlp and @tedbgoodlove for the questions I answered in this segment! And thanks to everyone who sent in questions that I didn’t get to this time.
And here’s a hint which is also a fun fact and even a factoid and certainly a bit of info: These videos appear on my youtube page before I put them on this blog so if you’re itching to see the latest episode WHICH YOU SO TOTALLY ARE ALL THE TIME you can check there (I recommend subscribing to my page!) to see the videos right as they’re uploaded. But then come back here to read my words. And leave comments everywhere. Like a big comment fusillade.
And also if you’re a tumblr person, perhaps you want to follow the tumblr for the show? Okay then.
The Daily Alison (Ep. 94, Where I talk to the Comic's Comic, Sean McCarthy)
Sean L. McCarthy runs the comedy news website The Comic’s Comic which isn’t about funny news, it’s news about the comedy world. He broke the news that SNL had fired Michaela Watkins and Casey Wilson and hired Jenny Slate and Nasim Pedrad which is a pretty big deal. Also, he won the reporter contest the year before I did.
And the L. in his name stands for Leighton.
Fake egg white pasta type thing
So I’ve been eating Shirataki noodles which are made out of tofu and mung bean paste and then infused with fart smell and pressed into a noodle shape. They’re not bad. I had to google the hell out of them though because I began to wonder if they were really as low calorie and low carb as they claim and my biggest fear in life, after death of my loved ones, is that uninvited calories are creeping into my food. While googling I read about a low carb pasta alternative made with eggs. You just pour a really thin layer of eggs (I used egg whites) into a pan and cook it and then chill it and then roll it up and cut and make something pasta-esque. I tried it and it was pretty good.

Happy Birthday, Tobey!
Today is someone’s birthday. He is small, white and fluffy, afraid of balloons and today he is two years old although he doesn’t look a day over 1.
Here’s a cute video of him as a puppy.
And here are a couple posts charting his odyssey into the world of dance.
And here are more photos:

September's Tobey photo
The September photo of the Tobey calendar my sister gave my family for Christmas last year is especially adorable. I am staring at it right now instead of writing, which I’m also doing right now, in theory. But back to the cute Tobey photo. Thought you might want to see it:
Video from when I played in a band on The Daily Alison
A bunch of you have been asking to see video from when I played in The Angoras so here you go. A few songs from a show we played at The Garage in Hollywood in 2001. I’m playing the sparkly silver Gretsch. Paula is in the middle and Yami is on bass. Tim was on drums. Paula and Tim still play music in bands. All three of my former band mates have been on my show. I miss them.
