Haunted By Zoog Disney

So, this commercial seems to be on ALL the time (along with another one that's a close-up of the woman talking), and every time I see it I think to myself, I bet this is what the chick from Stepsister From Planet Weird spent her time doing on her home planet before she moved to Earth to ruin Courtnee Draper's life.

I sure hope that Palm Pre's waterproof.

you know you love me.

Spotted: Blair Waldorf in Cobra Starship's new music video, "Good Girls Go Bad."  Looks like B. traded in the Ivy League* for Police Academy with the LAPD.

*This is pure conjecture, as I have yet to watch the season finale and I don't know if Blair ever got re-accepted to Yale after she went all Mean Girls on Slutty Teacher for sleeping with Dan.

"instant like-ability."

STOP THE PRESSES.*  Amy Duggar** is a singer.  Amy Duggar has an album.  Amy Duggar, as her Web site will tell you about 18 (pun intended) times, has "instant like-ability."  And Amy Duggar, judging by the photos on her site, is smoking hot.

                     

                 

I'm just going to invite you to visit AmyDuggar.com and see for yourself, as words can't do justice to the pure joy that is the homepage of my favorite member of the Duggar extended family.  And since I don't know how to embed audio clips, and don't really care enough to learn, I strongly suggest you go to her Music page and listen to a clip of one of her hits, "It's Odd, I'm Even."***

          

I also learned that her stage name is Amy Jordyn.  Now, the Web site spells this name two different ways, Jordan and Jordyn.  This makes me wonder if it used to be Amy Jordan, and she changed it to Amy Jordyn in honor of her new cousin, Jordyn-Grace Makiya.

         

Her album is available through her Web site for $14, shipping included. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't considering it. Roommate-former, you now know what to expect for your next birthday.

          

* I don't know how this cliche applies to blogs.

** Cousin Amy from the TLC program 18 Kids and Counting, for those of you who have apparently NEVER READ THIS BLOG.

*** I haven't decided yet if this post is written ironically or un-ironically; I'm learning toward un-ironically.

As I write this, I'm watching an episode of 18 Kids and Counting, per usual. In this particular episode, Jim Bob is taking his daughters (minus a couple plus a couple randoms) on a camping trip out in the wilderness. [Daughter Too Young to be Included in Trip: What's the will-er-ness?  Jim Bob: That means it's out in the boonies].

         

So when the girls leave on the trip, Jill (pictured at left) is wearing this tangerine-y orange-y polo shirt. From the embroidered logo, I'm pretty sure it's from Aeropostale.  My freshman year of college, this girl on my floor gave me that exact same polo shirt. It was a weird situation, I don't think I really knew her, I must have worn polos a lot, her mom had bought it for her and she didn't want it, I think she was all about erasing her carbon footprint or something, it was one of those awkward moments where I couldn't think of a way to tell her I didn't want it so I just took it.  

            

Anyway, I didn't want it, so a few months later I sent it to Goodwill, with the tags still on.  From many other Duggar episodes (including an earlier scene in this very episode), we know that the Duggars frequent thrift stores and love a good deal.  Hence, my polo shirt made its way to Arkansas and is now being worn by Jill Duggar.

          

Also, as this series goes on, I've picked up on a lot more sass coming from the Duggar girls.  The following conversation could have come verbatim from a me/my co-blogger/a certain blog reader named Colleen conversation:

            

Some Duggar girl, in reference to a denim jacket that some other Duggar girl is packing for the camping trip: Girlfriend, you will not need this.

        

First Duggar girl, later, on camping trip: It's getting chilly out here.

Denim-jacket-clad Duggar girl: I'm glad I have this jacket.

because she is a goddess.

             

Because she is a goddess.  Because not only did she star in The Mary Tyler Moore Show and lend her voice to The Wild Thornberrys (who knew?) but she can be spotted in THE STORY OF US (which very well might be the only Bruce Willis film I've ever seen).  Because she is a spitfire who swears like a sailor.  And because for her appearance on My Life on the D-List, she wore a dog sweater.

Song of the Day

"You're Breaking My Heart" by Harry Nilsson.

Clip of the Day

After a bit of research, I have learned that yesterday's clip from Boy Meets World (season 4, episode 21, "Cult Fiction"), is the last appearance Anthony Tyler Quinn made as Mr. Turner on the show.  Mr. Turner was still alive after the motorcycle accident, but he was shown only in flashbacks in the series finale.  To explain where he was for Cory and Shawn's last year of high school, we have today's clip.  2:00 to 2:45.
