    Are you writing the story, or doing scripts for someone else? There was an interesting “making of Animal House” documentary on A&E last night. It seems like there were a lot of people involved in the process by the time all was said and done.

    I guess successful partnerships come in different shapes and sizes, and it all depends on what, if anything, you need, whether it's a more experienced with script writer, or another creative mind that works well with your own.

    In other words, I'm no help at all. Maybe I have a future as a magic 8 ball.

    P.S. Oh yeah, and by the way, the other night on Red Eye was about the 4th time they've brought up “The Facts of Life” without you there. I don't mean to cause trouble, but that is an outrage. Clearly, you should be Red Eye's “The Facts of Life” correspondent. I suggest a letter writing campaign.

    I hate to admit this (well not really), but I haven't been watching Red Eye much lately. The show is slowly evolving into something less than what it used to be, in my humble opinion. It's just not as much “fun” as before. I can't put my finger on it, but some of the newer guests aren't as quirky or witty like Alison. Alison also seems to be appearing less often, and other Red Eye guests that aren't as interesting are appearing more often. I've even quit the Red Eye online fan forum because I just was bored. Now that it seems that they are working the Facts of Life into their show without Alison taking part just seems unethical to me. So long Red Eye, I think your days are numbered.

    Hey Alison, I have an idea. For those days when you just aren't into doing your Daily Alison, you should have a guest host! Your permanent guest host should be Papa Rosen for obvious reasons! I can see it now:

    The vlog starts with the camera showing a confused Papa Rosen on the phone, talking to his daughter Alison. “What do you mean I am guest hosting today's Daily Alison? Me and your mother were going to Petco to buy the dog a new chew toy! Yes, Tobey lost the other one in the bathtub. It's a long story, and you know how I hate getting into long stories! OHH I'm ON! I gotta go!”

    Papa Rosen abruptly hangs up on Alison just like she has done so many times before to her guests…

    “Oh hey guys! I didn't see you there! Welcome to today's Daily Alison! I'm Papa Rosen, and I was just telling Alison that I'm too busy to do her show. Now that I'm here, I suppose I can just go through with it. Anyone have a pun lying around I can borrow?”
