There are loads of photos that have been sitting on my phone or computer that I’ve been meaning to put on this blog and I think the time is now.

Here’s my mom and Tobey from when I was in California for Thanksgiving. Isn’t he cute? There is only one answer.

Here’s Tobey on my mom’s lap in Brooklyn. We were at a cafe called Provence en Boite. Tobey affected a French accent which is so like him.

Happy Birthday, Tobey!

Written by Alison | September 9th, 2009 at 8:22 am | Comments

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

Written by Alison | September 7th, 2009 at 4:41 pm | Comments

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:

The Daily Alison (Where Tony Camin fights dog nazis)

Written by Alison | June 24th, 2009 at 4:43 pm | Comments

Okay seriously! Is rain during an interview going to repeatedly flummox me? Apparently I’m powerless not to abandon whatever question I’m in the middle of asking to instead talk about the rain. And it’s not like I just started interviewing people. Clearly what’s going on is that rain was just invented. This is probably what it was like when TV was first invented. People would be sitting in their caves chewing leaves and using every part of a boar and then the minute someone in a neighboring cave turned on the TV it was goodbye discussions of homemade boar jerky and hello Newhart.

Anyway, this is Tony Camin.

I’m on CNET’s The 404 tomorrow.

And don’t forget there’s this site too!  Thedailyalison.com. Go there if you’re sick of all these damn words.

Allow me to regale you with a story about flossing

Written by Alison | June 12th, 2009 at 10:29 am | Comments

It was time for my bi-annual flossing so I put on my flossing outfit (coconuts, sweatpants, a turban) and went to town and now there’s a metallic, bloody taste happening on the upper right side of my mouth and I don’t like it. Also, there is some pain. Nothing I can’t handle since my pain tolerance is nothing short of superhuman however, but still.

Ok, to be honest, I floss every day. I only put on my flossing outfit twice a year though, so I wasn’t completely telling an untruth.

The pain is not going away. Arguably it’s getting worse. Perhaps the way I was like “ow that hurts, I’m going to do it again, ow that still hurts, I’m going to do it again, yep, still painful, I’m going to do it again,” wasn’t very wise.

In other news I found out last night that Button, the dog I’ve been obsessed with has an adoption pending. I’m happy for Button but sad for me! And then I think: How could I really have become attached to a photo of a dog? And then I think: Wait, if I can become attached to a photo of a dog, maybe I should just get a photo of a dog instead of a dog? I’d put Button’s photo here so you could see how adorable this dog was however it’s no longer on Petfinder and I never copied the photos. It’s kind of tragic!

The Daily Alison (Day 4; Wherein I talk to Doug Benson about his butt and Broadway)

Written by Alison | May 24th, 2009 at 3:04 pm | Comments

The careful reader will notice that today I changed the title to The Daily Alison instead of The Daily Rosen. I’m still not sold on the name though, I’m just lazy in terms of coming up with something better.

Today’s guest is Doug Benson! I bet you didn’t know that he’s a theater buff. No, I really think you didn’t. Don’t lie! You didn’t. You did not! Just stop.

Some links? Okay:

Doug on Twitter

Doug on Myspace

Doug at Caroline’s

The Norman Conquests

I feel like such a link whore right now. And yet I’m a link whore of my own doing. I’m going to go ponder that.
