The Daily Alison (Day 11; Wherein I emerge from a rose bush to interview Matt Nathanson)

I’m posting this before the video has finished processing so give it a little while before clicking. In today’s video I not only humiliate myself as is my way, but then I talk to Matt Nathanson whom I know from college. I went to Pomona College and  he went to Pitzer. Back then he had long hair and watched Northern Exposure and we used to have these long heated debates about things but for the life of  me I can’t remember what they were about. I just remember a long car ride where I was driving and he was in the passenger seat and my friend Jessica was in the backseat and I think she wanted to die because of all the almost yelling. It’s weird. I’m really not like that anymore. I think Matt liked to give me a hard time about stuff though. Probably some guy that he claimed I had a crush on that I said I didn’t really have a crush on but who I actually did have a crush on. Did that make sense? I think I dragged him to see some not very good bands (in addition to good bands, if you happen to be a good band whom I dragged Matt Nathanson to see years ago).

Anyway, now he’s all famous. I remember when it happened. I went to try to see a show of his last minute unannounced (my showing up was unannounced, not his show) and I couldn’t get into the goddamn place because it was sold out. I called his ass up and he came and got me and in the course of that he was swarmed by fans. I’m sorry, I’m distracted by the woman practicing opera singing across the street. There’s a lot of trilling and warbling going on.

I think I have more to say and more to link to however I must go now. More later!

Oh and enjoy the way I forget a very common word, won’t you?

    Your openings are so funny. You make a perfect rose bush. If I were a bee I'd fertilize you. Over and over again.

    Aren't they called cookie cutters? That's a lot easier to remember than Dr. Pepper's easy underpants cooperation dance.

    Joe is right! They are called “cookie cutters!” However, I don't think you could use a cookie cutter to make poop look like sea coral. Just sayin.

    Alison, you are awesome for catching yourself at the end. Changing your comment by saying, “I am forgetful” instead of the other thing shows how thoughtful and kindhearted you are.

    Matt Nathanson sounds like a very smart guy.

    You know, I really think that I would much rather see and heeer you engaging in some heated debate and shouting since that would be 10 times more entertaining then any of the previous 15 videos or so that you have posted on this vlog combined.

    Maybe give that mode of discussion and entertainment a shot, eh? Yeah? Maybe? Yes, yes you should.

    Say hi to Pinchy for me next time you run over, um, across him on Red Eye. He's my fav on the show.

    Okay, I happened by following the promise of Matt Nathanson, but was pleasantly entertained by your banter. Thanks for sharing!

    BTW… I have to agree with Matt, Twittter sucks @$$… how self-serving have we become… I mean, really! What do I care that people are “driving to the airport” or “having lunch with Susan”…. on any other medium, that would be beyond the normal scope of nonsense… seriously.
