“for example, the fluid in a blister”

“You know serums can make your face soft and healthy. Now get serums in a body wash!”

I think you think serum means something slightly different than what it technically does.

Bah – this is an ad on tv, and I wish I could actually show you the thing itself, but I can’t find it anywhere. There’s some lady wandering around her bathroom, super-excited about the very scientific-sounding and vague “serums” that make her so pretty. (Also – fine – maybe serums come from milk or plants too, but it’s still something grosser than what that lady in her bathroom is imagining.) I don’t know why this pisses me off so much, but it feels really smug to me. Like somebody really thinks they’re pulling a fast one, or something. Like Don Draper deciding to start calling the tobacco “toasted” or like Cheerios suddenly putting a big sticker on the box that says “non-carcinogenic!” or something.

I’m watching Yo Gabba Gabba! for the first time ever. I realize I’m late to this bandwagon and everybody already is all up on its nuts, but…I just wanted to announce its greatness. Jack Black is teaching us how to disco-dance in this episode (EDIT: later, a robot reciprocates by teaching him how to do the robot). He rides a flying, talking motorcycle, and thinks Tudi is the greatest jumper ever, and just made a bunch of new friends and is singing about it. There’s a party in his tummy. No really. He said that. I’m going to dress up like every single one of these characters next Halloween. If you have not seen this show yet, DO SO.

Also, there’s a horror movie coming on in a half-hour that an imdb contributer describes thusly:

In Grovetown, there is a series of suicides after the suicide of an outcast teenager Sean (Shiloh Fernandez). His brother Aidan (Thomas Dekker) waits for the return of his cousin Sadie (Margo Harshman) to the family house for the funeral. When Dylan (Kelly Blatz), who is the fanatic Christian son of the reverend, beats up on Aidan, the undesirable youngster is helped by Dylan’s girlfriend Lindsey (Elizabeth Rice) that drives him home. They talk about Dylan’s mother Candace Spindle that had a grimoire to worship her pagan gods in a creek and was blamed by the god-fearing locals of murdering a man; then she died in a suspicious fire. Lindsey and Aidan befriend each other and sooner she finds that Sean has cursed the town with his own sacrifice unleashing an evil force that is leading the inhabitants to commit suicide. When Lindsey is chased by her evil image, Aidan decides to help her to stop the curse; but the price to be paid is high.

Ugh – I just spent the past 10 minutes searching for a video or an animated gif or something of Betty Draper shrieking “What is going ON?!?” but couldn’t find one. Google, why do you keep failing me tonight??

This is becoming slightly incomprehensible, I realize. I blog a lot, and incomprehensibly, when Ian is out of town. Blame him.

More soon, surely, as I get boreder and drunker! But for now, goodbye, goodbye!

GODDAMNIT, INTERNETZ, QUIT FAILING ME. IS THIS SERIOUSLY THE BEST VIDEO OF THIS YOU CAN GIVE ME???

Whatever. Here it is without the annoying kid, but also without Jack Black, but also with a reference to balls, so – even?

Goodbye Song – Yo Gabba Gabba!
