    good morning alison

  2. Ivan May 3, 2011 at 9:17 am #

    Toby’s a cutie 🙂

  3. Jim Newman May 3, 2011 at 9:19 am #

    I like how you wipe your nose and then wipe it on the dog =P Poor Fluffy, or whatever it’s name was.

  4. Alison Rosen May 3, 2011 at 9:36 am #

    He loves it!

  5. David Bauer May 3, 2011 at 9:36 am #

    Approval avalanche!

  6. Adamcromero May 3, 2011 at 9:37 am #

    I can picture you shaking your hands like a Polaroid picture to keep em warm!

  7. Tim May 3, 2011 at 9:38 am #

    Blow drying your hair naked?! Spit bubbles on the end of your tongue?! You really are a tease! LOVE IT! LOVE YOU!

  8. Jim Newman May 3, 2011 at 10:05 am #

    In turn, you kissed your hands after handling the dog. We’re just getting all types of nasty today!

  9. BuddyZ May 3, 2011 at 10:14 am #

    You had me at “I’m holding a dog”.

    ummmmmm.

    Just playing devils advocate here, but think of all the hairdryers you could get with a pay-per-view….hmmmm…

  12. Gonzorama May 3, 2011 at 11:22 am #

    Of course we support you – you’re beautiful, witty, forthcoming, and lumpy in all the right places. I mean “Girl” places. Like they teach in Finishing School: don’t um!

    “This whole vlog is gonna be a tease, by the way…”

    You started with sideboob at 00:00. I sorta guessed. There was a moment where I was wondering if you were gonna stand up and show off some booty. Is this your way of getting more ustream viewers? If not, you should consider it.

    (The teasing, I mean. Cow, milk, free, etc)

    Anyway, on that note- have you looked into this? http://www.ustream.tv/revshare/faq

    It’s a ustream thing that uses commercials instead of pay-per-view. I bring this up because I’m broke, and I can’t afford certain things right now, but I CAN sit through commercials.

    What have I been up to? Well thank you for asking! Starting a new/old job, tomorrow- it was a place I worked for about 2 years, but got laid off due to budget reasons. I’m coming back to fill in for a month or so for someone who’ll be out on maternity leave.

  14. Connie May 3, 2011 at 12:15 pm #

    “OMG! Paw in neck”. hehe. I luv your after ACP Vlogs, Alison.

  15. Kev Barnett May 3, 2011 at 1:01 pm #

    Your opinion of chatty cab drivers is totally understandable… But blowing spit bubbles off the end of your tongue earns you a place in the fiery pits of Hades!

  16. Polibro May 3, 2011 at 1:07 pm #

    Hi Alison!

    Good to see you are feeling better and its good to see Toby once again.

    I look forward to see you and the gang here in SD!

    Keep up the good work!

  17. Idguru May 3, 2011 at 1:09 pm #

    I can’t believe that the dog is your date at your sisters wedding. You need to get Adam to introduce you to an eligible bachelor…. like Seth MacFarlane….. Well, maybe not Seth. (You would have trouble walking the next day.)

  18. Alison Rosen May 3, 2011 at 1:36 pm #

    I love Seth! But for the record, the dog isn’t my date. (He turned me down.)

  19. Idguru May 3, 2011 at 1:42 pm #

    Awww. So sad. I think you may be winding me up. 😉 Really enjoying your vlogs and your work with Adam.

  26. Nicswen May 3, 2011 at 3:09 pm #

    Cute, chill dog. However, I think you need an inanimate object to hold while talking, something ridiculous like a carrot, an over-sized utensil or one of the paddles with the rubber ball attached to a string.
    Anyway, I totally think you should charge something for your ARIYBF streams just to spare people of the trolls. I am sure long time viewers wouldn’t mind paying a buck or two to participate AND chip in some throw a few duckets your way. You are pretty awesome, so you deserve it.
    In the meantime, like everyone else who keeps up on your goings on, I look forward to find out what your teaser reveals.

    Your vlog is like watching “Good Times” when I was a kid. Good memories. DYNOMITE! Look forward to it now. Forget “Dancing With The Stars.”

    I found today’s vlog quite relatable. Toby reminds me of my dog. I too have a small white fluffy dog that is my parents, but I basically inherited him at least for the time being, though now I couldn’t bear to leave him. His name is “Bear”, so pun intended there. Full name “Little Bear” or “Lil Bear”, cuz he looked like a tiny bear when he was a puppy, he’s a Lhasa Apso. I clicked image & attached him, hopefully he shows up at least as my avatar.

    I also have weird circulation problems especially with my hands. I know women in my family have had Renauds (spelling?), though I’m a dude so it would suck if I did. Rather I think my issues have a simple explanation, perhaps the fact that I’ve had frostbite on my hands a number of times. Not to where it ever got all black & gross, but enough to cause tissue damage, or so I’m told by docs. Now they are extra sensitive to cold & I have poor bloodflow or get the “pin n’ needles” thing happening. Best thing to do to get circulation back into your hands is do a huge windmill a few times with both arms & this forces the blood back into your hands. However, your method is much cuter! Mine will make you look like a lunatic.

    Lastly, & I can’t belive I’m saying this as a straight male, but I also have watched Audrina. While it doesn’t throw off my day if I miss it, for some god awful reason I tune in, even if only its on in the background while working. I can’t explain why this is. Audrina is pretty hot, which helps, & women drama is more interested than watching dudes with issues. Could be as simple as that.

    My TV viewing is odd & though I prefer movies it is hard to get those in during the week since you need a 2 hour block of time open. I watch a fair amount of sports, then I gotta get my education on via the history channel, smithsonian, discovery & others, then from that extreme I end up watching something like this or The Hills (R.I.P.) once or twice a week even though it defies my own logic. Casey’s hubby seems douchy, & that is one tatooed, codependent couple, that can’t end well!
    Their mom is a drunk/high nutjob (fingers crossed for celebrity rehab!), maybe the best part of the show. & Audrina is as expected, a little dead behind the eyes, oblivious. I’m surprised she got the spinoff. Would much rather have watched Speidi acting nuts or Kristen cuz I think she is hotter than Audrina & has a more interesting personality.

    I do keep such shows at a minimum & I still feel pretty good about my manhood, so I think I’m OK. Chalk it up to a guilty pleasure, I guess. It does make me feel better to know that ACE also gets sucked into the housewives & some of that BS, & he even saw Sex in the City. That isn’t reality, so I don’t dabble in those black arts.

    Alison, since you share so much with us, maybe that is why I felt I’d share something about myself that I wouldn’t even dare tell friends. Well, I could, but there would be nothing to gain by it! I’m just happy there is a human other than myself who has been watching Audrina!
    Speaking of guilty pleasure’s, your vlogs are becoming just that for me as well. I was bored one day & came over here from the ACS page, now a few weeks later I check in every day. Whatever you are doing, I guess it worked! Btw, my apologies for being “long-winded guy”. I’m known for that. I type fast & it burns me. Damn that crush I had on my typing teacher.

    Hi Alison, I support you in charging a subscription fee for your Ustream show. I also support you if you’d rather do it gratis. Cinco de Mayo would be a good day for it.
    Besides your cold white fingers, Raynaud’s syndrome might account for why you apparently get “cold feet” when it comes to the nitty gritty of getting married.
    I listened to the podcast with Tom Arnold and you are right, it was pretty emotional and intense. Oddly enough, I had the impression that he might have more work to do to assimilate those psychologically traumic experiences into his body. Something makes Tom come across as manic.
    Regarding using “Uh…” as your tagline (in place of the dubious “zip it, cunt”), when I was in Toastmasters, I felt like I set a record for the most “uhs” in a 3 minute speech.
    I think Tobey is camera shy… he would be more comfortable appearing on a podcast. I am tightly wound on bated breath in anticipation of your mysterious revelation on your next vlog.
    We love you, Alison. I knew 2011 would be a good year for you. Just in time too, because in 2012, the world is supposed to end.

    I have a dog named Toby! And a terrible eye-twitch?! Not an i-twitch, or some kinda new fancy e-profit scheme. Maybe you can relate. I’d love to show you a photo of my dog, but I’m an e-twit. So I guess I’m in MA somewhere, a small town right next to the other small town where I’m trying desperately to care for the only family I’ve ever known. I found your blog so endearing, and cute enough to get my stoned ass up off my ma’s leather couch. I’m now hopelessly addicted to uppers….fuckn… I mean your video blog. Catch me with an eyepatch when your in the area. I’m a huge listener and I’ve been pretty religious about it, after all all my friends say Ace is better than Alex.
