I have some emotions. I'm going to share them.

So I just lost something that I sort of had but sort of never had and I’m going to be vague about what it was however I’m not enjoying these feelings I’m having. Feelings I’d rather enjoy?

Mirth

Frivolity

Macaroni

Fanciness

Pantsyness

NOT antsyness unless it’s the kind associated with being very excited to go to an amusement park

PUPPIES!

Shinyness

Quinine*

Parakeets (or budgies)**

Certain smells

Those are the feelings I enjoy feeling. The rest can take a hike.

*Quinine? That really has no place on a list of emotions.

** Honestly, I prefer cockatiels.

I had a busy weekend

Look how weird this is! We’re both making the same expression! We’re expression twins! So anyway, I had a pretty packed weekend of talking about myself on the radio and on a podcast. You’re welcome, America. [UPDATE: I just agreed to be part of Fox Sports radio’s TV THEME SONG tournament for the next 5 weeks so cancel all your Saturday noon plans. DO IT. CANCEL THEM! Round 1 of the tournament is what you’ll hear if you click on the radio interview I linked to above.]


But as for this Jake Tuber podcast character pictured above, I forget how I heard of him but basically he started contacting me on Twitter and told me I’d been the inspiration for his starting his own Ustream show and I asked my assistants to get rid of him but then I realized I didn’t have assistants and then I agreed to let him interview me since it’s the least I can do, being his hero and all.

Also this weekend I went out with Koryn and we were sitting there and she said, in a general effort to get me to be more social, “You spend so much time on your hair, don’t you want people to see it?” And honestly what I was thinking was that I really don’t spend SOOOOO much time on my hair. Anymore.

And then last night Dustin and I got our asses handed to us at pub trivia which was just so much BS.

Also, I think I’m going to do something magnificent soon where I live stream briefly every day of the week on a different live streaming site in an effort to test all the sites and also to give the people what they want: a heapload of me. So I’m compiling a list of the sites I should try. Let me know if you have any recommendations. And then tell everyone you know to follow me around the internet!

Also, you know how I’m trying to hook up an external monitor? I have this little flat screen TV which has an S video input and my MacBook has a mini DVI port so can I just go MINI DVI to DVI to S VIDEO? I realize some people may have already answered this but I’m confused about whether it will work.

Oh and lately I’ve been feeling a little like one of those sad blobs in the Prozac commercials which is possibly because my bday is coming up next month and I tend to get a little mopey around my bday every year which is very cliche, I know.

And RSVP for this week’s show and become a fan on FB! and follow me on DailyBooth even though I haven’t done much over there yet!

And have you pre-ordered a tshirt or a shoutout? Get on that! (you know, if you want)

“Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend” is live on Ustream every Wednesday night. www.ustream.com/alisonrosen

TV Talk!

Happy Ducklings!

Dustin! Nevada! Koryn!

Your Shoutouts! (here’s the deal you guys, I’ve been too busy this week to secure a sponsor so while that is great and means I’ve been busy writing, it’s also not great in terms of me having the show sponsored. Which is why I’m pushing the shoutouts! They’re like tiny microsponsorships!)

Me worrying I’ve become obnoxious! (see above)

RSVP for the show and watch at 10pm ET/7pm PT!

An email I just sent about tomorrow's ARIYNBF

Hi! Just a reminder that I’m doing my show tomorrow at 10pm ET/7pm PT. My guests are Laura Leu and Adam Winer who have a website called Navigeaters where they’re eating a meal from every country in the world without leaving NYC. Mostly they’re eating disgusting stuff involving eyeballs. Also I have a couple new segments I’m unveiling including a preview of a soap opera we’re going to be acting out on the show. I play a cabbage saleswoman (or so I’ve been told by my friend who’s writing it).

It’s now occurring to  me that it’s pretty lazy of me to just be copying an email and putting it on this blog but that’s me: lazy. I hope it doesn’t affect cabbage sales! rsvp for the show!
And check out these reduced shoutout rates!
And look at all that hot fancy sidebar action to the right!

On tonight's Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend

Nevada Caldwell

Tonight is a super duper special awesome show (ok fine, I say that about all of them but I REALLY MEAN IT THIS TIME) because my friend Nevada Caldwell will be dropping in and she has choreographed every aspect of this from her outfit to her opera cake. I don’t know you guys, I just work here. Also, we’ll be talking Natali Del Conte and learning about the iPad and probably we’ll have to discuss NOODLES.

Here’s me and Natali!

And Dustin may or may not show up. Don’t even get me started on that guy. And of course we’ll be doing all the things you love like JMOE and TV Talk and phone-a-fan and dating experiment and I have new songs to play you that Trapp wrote and they are amazing!

Tonight’s sponsor is Saxton Manufacturing Co. They also sponsored last week’s show. You should call them up this instant and thank them for keeping this show going because I’ve been calling them every minute on the minute thanking them but I am just one person. I just learned a lot about water treatment including all the different kinds of things that could be in your water depending if you live in a city or rural environment. Seriously, I could go on Jeopardy and sweep the water category, if there were one. Uranium, you guys. URANIUM in water! It’s happened! So the thing about Saxton is they can deal with any kind of water treatment situation you need to take care of. And they’re nice. How nice? So nice they sponsored this show and the last one. You can ask for water hardness testing strips for free if you want a fun free thing and you can also talk about any water questions or issues by emailing Gary at SaxtonAR [at] gmail [dot ]com or using the form on their web site. You can also call (714) 546-9020 for info. Deep discount for my viewers so mention that, won’t you?
