Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend

My weekend, the pilot, photos of my sister’s photos

Care to hear all about my weekend? I’m pretty sure you would. First of all I filmed a pilot for a new show which is totally top secret and I could probably be killed for even posting this, that’s how top secret it is. Not really, but it’s secret. But not death-level secret. Just some slight maiming or maybe a harsh look.

Here I am smiling.

Here I am not smiling.

Here I am getting my makeup and hair done. Or did. No, done. Did? DAMMIT, SLANG!

Here I am with Mike Zegen from Rescue Me. We are against a green screen. I hope they use it to make it look like we’re flying or surrounded by ducklings.

Duckling.

And then after the shoot I went over to my sister’s because she was having a party. While there I took some pictures of her pictures. That’s me, my dad and my sister in the 1870s. We’d just traveled by covered wagon. I was in the navy, though I was very young. My dad wore rust colored pants so the enemy wouldn’t spot him in a cranberry bog. And my sister was involved in high-level baby espionage.

Here’s me wearing all sorts of rings as was the style back then.

And then after the party I came home and looked at this year’s Tobey calendar.

And don’t forget to see me on Red Eye tonight and watch my Ustream show tomorrow with Michael Showalter!

    Fun show last night, Miss R! I laughed the whole way through. The 'tempest in a teapot' thing had me chortling. Yes, chortling. I was chortling like a crazy man!!

    But the best part was that Greg used the intro I posted for you on the Daily Gut: "She's so bright the sun often goes outside to catch a few Alisons". I wrote that, people! In the midst of exhaustion and delerium from lack of sleep yesterday afternoon - I WROTE THAT!

    But I got 38 hours of sleep last night, so I'll be all alert and stuff for some noodling on ARIYNBF tonight!

    I caught some of Red Eye before I conked out! Great to see Alison at the table! Well done, Joe! I was wondering if that was yours! I hope to see you all later at the Ustream show!

    And I still hate not being able to edit my comments on here. And why do I have to log in each time I leave a comment? I had to log in again to leave this comment even though I just logged in 2 minutes ago to leave the first one.

    I know... bitch, bitch, bitch. That's what happens when you only get 3 hours of sleep, people.
  • That does sound annoying. I'll look into this. I might need to upgrade something. Or downgrade something. Being underslept is horrible. Here's hoping you get some sleep! Count ducklings!

    I like how you have a big star next to your name when you post a comment! It is right that you should be identified as the star of the show! Looking forward to seeing the new pilot when it's ready!

    I hope that I can watch Red Eye tonight and the Ustream show tomorrow, but unfortunately, I have a tooth that is due to be forcibly ejected from my dental community tomorrow morning. Right now, half my face is blown up like a balloon. I look like a chipmunk.

    But I'll try! I may be fading in and out, but then I was never all that lucid anyway... Have fun!

    P.S. Lookin' lovely in the photos, as always!

    As the old man in the "Bring out your dead!" scene in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" once said, "I'm not dead!" "I think I'll go for a walk!" and "I don't want to go on the cart!" Thanks for your well wishes, they worked! I didn't even have to lose the tooth! But I had a very bad infection, and was lucky I got there when I did.

    I agree that tonight would have been the perfect time for the fan phone call! However, I turned down the Vicodin. (Crazy, I know.) If the pain suddenly creeps in, I'll run outside and stick my face in the snow.

    Tonight would be the perfect time for your Fan Phone Call.....slurred speech, gauze, under the influence of Vicodin, Boink's bottle of whiskey....oh I'm just kidding! Get well, after having all my wisdom teeth pulled at once, I know dental stuff sucks ass!
  • Joe
    Good luck Trapp! Tooth problems are no fun. Have them give you some of those happy pills -- it will make ARIYNBF tonight even more fun!!
  • boinkity
    TrappDog... self help my brutha! Bottle of whiskey + needle nose pliers + help from neighborhood kids = physician, heal thyself (with a little help from neighborhood kids in case you pass out)!!
  • Here's hoping the dental surgery is swift and painless! Let us know how it goes. I can't have one of my RFs down!

    We're all wondering what Bill Levy (posthumanist) and you were doing on Saturday, but since he said it was top secret none of us wanted to ask. Well, we WANTED to ask but we didn't. We're such good Do-Bees.

    But c'mon tell us, won't ya huh?

    So what was it like traveling over the Sierra Nevadas in the 1870s in a Conestoga wagon? Did you get caught in any blizzards like the Donner Party? Did you have to eat anyone to stay alive? You were pretty rugged back then -- what happened?

    Have fun on Red Eye! I may have to get up at 3am to watch instead of sleeping in till 5. But since I got a whole 3 hours of sleep last night, what the heck.
