The Daily Alison (Ep. 95, Where I wear a tank top and answer your questions)

By Alison Rosen on September 11, 2009 in The Daily Alison

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)

By Alison Rosen on September 9, 2009 in Uncategorized

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

By Alison Rosen on September 9, 2009 in fitness, meringue experiment

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!

By Alison Rosen on September 9, 2009 in dogs, dogs that dance, 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 he is rolling over.

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

By Alison Rosen on September 7, 2009 in dogs, dogs that dance, scary balloons, Tobey

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

By Alison Rosen on September 6, 2009 in corona del mar, Costa Mesa, did I mention I was in a band?, memories, music, orange county, the angoras, The Daily Alison, touring

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.

My mom's mom

By Alison Rosen on September 6, 2009 in parents being all parenty, well look who isn’t being cynical right now

This is where I get my blond hair and blue eyes

This is my mom’s mom. She died when I was six. Wasn’t she pretty? Last night my mom sent my sister and me some old family photos and letters which she’d just received. It’s pretty sobering stuff. My grandmother made it to America from Vienna right as the war broke out but her brother and parents weren’t so lucky. Her attempts to bring her brother over here and the eventual discovery that her family had been killed—just as she’d raised enough money to secure her brother’s transport—is all detailed in there. Perhaps I’ll share some of it here. I haven’t figure it out yet. What’s a little atrocity in between fart jokes? Exactly.

My Friday appearance on The 404

As you perhaps well know, I was on my favorite podcast—The 404—on Friday. Perhaps you want to watch it? I think so.

The Daily Alison (Where Rhett Reese has his hand in all the pies)

By Alison Rosen on September 4, 2009 in The Daily Alison

Rhett Reese is the co-writer/producer of the upcoming Zombieland and Earth Vs. Moon and he created my favorite reality show, The Joe Schmo Show. He addresses the uncanny similarities between Schmo and E!’s new Reality Hell at the 7:25 mark.
