Clue, my show, I sneezed, iTunes
Recently I played Clue with my mom and sister and while it’s unflattering to gloat, I won by a longshot. My sister claims she’d also figured it out and was about to guess the same winning trio if only she could get her playing piece into the correct room (which now escapes me. The Attic? The Mud Room? The Bonus Room? The Telescope Room? The Lanai?) however I’m pretty sure she’s lying. What makes me so sure? She’s a total liar and not to be trusted with any board games. The Great Monopoly Heist of 82? The Giant Boggle Debacle of 93? The Humongous Candy Land Rip Off of 2005? All my sister’s handiwork. Once she even stole all the ladders from Chutes & Ladders. Have you ever tried playing just Chutes? It’s a very fast game. But more than my sister and her sticky fingers is the fact that I’m pretty sure I’d be an asset to any small police department or other crime solving agency because the way I solved the murder in Clue the other night was genius and I’m pretty sure I should try my hand at forensics next.
In other news I am still in CA and I just sneezed. Not a tiny little dainty sneeze but a big “Oh no!” kind of sneeze where even though I sneezed a good five seconds ago I think if you were to look at me you would be able to tell I just sneezed. You would also be able to tell that I just woke up. I’m beautiful and I have allergies is what I’m trying to tell you.
Tomorrow’s show should be fun, but then I always say that. Here’s the FB page with info. Not only will my friend Yami (and maybe her baby!) be on the show but Dustin is in these parts and I’m trying to get him to be on the show too because then it’d be like we’ve gone on location. Like if Benson & Stabler were in California. There I go again with the crime solving.
Anything else? Well things are still kind of shitty in regards to the specific shitty situation which you may or may not know a tiny bit about and which I can only refer to in these oblique ways but completely unrelated and fairly fantastic: my shows are now on itunes!
Hey New York: Come see me in this
I’ll be doing three News Distillery dates in July and I’m pretty sure you want to come to at least three of them. Go here for info!
The Hot Dog On a Stick Shtick
As many of you know, I’ve been making plans for an alternate life where I work at Hot Dog On a Stick.
The scared smile, Rosenating and Michael Rosas playing “Railroad Boy”
Okay so it’s possible I got kind of carried away with reminiscing because in between the first and second song Michael played I started remembering a bunch of things which still crack me up like “the scared smile” and “fun is P-1.”
Missed the June 20 episode of ARIYNBF? Don’t cry!
On part 1 of the June 20 episode of ARIYNBF, Michael Rosas stops by to play some songs live. Plus Just Me or Everyone and the introduction of a brand new medical advice segment featuring none other than my dad!
Go here for part 2 (more of my dad and the beginning of Fan Phone Call!)
Go here for part 3 (Fan Phone Call!)
On today’s ARIYNBF
Due to unexpected events I’m back out in California which means another special From My Parent’s House episode of ARIYNBF.
In addition to appearances by my parents and Tobey, I’m super excited that my friend MICHAEL ROSAS, who is one of my very favorite musicians ever will be appearing on the show and will be playing live.
If you are unfamiliar with Michael Rosas, you should get familiar pronto. I’ve written about him and his projects over the years. He used to front SMILE and then SATISFACTION. Lately he’s been playing solo shows. I’m pretty sure I’m leaving out important Rosas-related info. (He also appeared alongside MATT COSTA in an episode of THE DAILY ALISON (my old web show) from a year ago.)
Aren’t these all caps annoying? I THINK SO.
So please tune in and chat on Sunday at 7pm ET/4pm PT.
Plus FAN PHONE CALL and all the other stuff you love.
