firthgalSUGARLAND HAS A NEW SINGLE!!!!!
Greatest graphics EVER for a lyrics video, right? Usually lyrics videos are beyond lame, but this person actually made it super adorable and catchy, JUST LIKE THE SONG. Screw those YouTube commenters, whatever, SUGARLAND RULES, BITCHES. What I find interesting though is that people are usually down on Sugarland's new songs when they first come out, and then for some reason people seem to come around to them later. Even I'm that way sometimes, though as of late Sugarland could probably sing any damn song in the world and I'd love it to death (except for The Love Shack, UGH. Even they didn't manage to salvage that song for me). But anyway, yes, this song is more fluffy pop than Sugarland is known for, but Sugarland is all about bringing different genres together and putting some twang to it, so it's not like they were traditional to begin with, though, you know, they were more traditional than they were with the last album and the upcoming one, but whatever, I FREAKING LOVE THEM. And you know what? I LOVE TAYLOR SWIFT TOO, SO SUCK IT, PURISTS. Not that I've ever agreed with the purists. Ever. Especially since they were always down on Garth Brooks back in the day (irony upon ironies, the modern day purists are the ones who want to harken back to the days of Garth. I love my Garth, he'll always be #1 in my heart, but he was a big proponent of the idea that music is constantly growing and changing and building on its roots. He too was a genre mixer, which is probably why I have such a strong fondness for Sugarland).
Also, I am lame and keep picturing a married Jeff/Annie whenever I listen to that song. *sigh*
Anywhozle, I quite enjoyed Covert Affairs last night. I keep thinking that I'm going to drop the show, because as fun as it is, there's still nothing that's really making me attached to the story or consumed with the characters, but somehow it manages to draw me in every week. And this week's was especially good, probably because Annie had wicked hot chemistry with that Mossad guy. Plus, they brought out a darker side to Auggie that kind of made you think about where his loyalties lie (though I still believe that he is completely on Annie's side, just, you know, there could be a sinister side to this dude that we don't know about... though, I doubt it, but you never know).
In my continuing perusal of Wizards of Waverly Place, I came upon the ep entitled "Max's Secret Girlfriend" and do you know what happened? ALEX AND JUSTIN PRETENDED TO BE HIS PARENTS. Oh, Disney tween show with your highly suggestive incest, you are the light of my life. Side note: someone on F!S the other day complained about this show having its own Brother/Sister incest page, and I kind of agree. Sure, the show pushes it sometimes, but it's not canon, therefore it's incestyay and not straight up incest. Still though, that page amuses me with its truthiness. Also, Harper/Zeke is like the cutest thing ever. Usually I don't approve of just sticking the two weird kids together, as Disney shows are wont to do, but for some reason it works great for these two (maybe because the show sort of built it up? It was only a couple of eps, but that's still better than just randomly throwing them together out of the blue).

Day 11 - What is your dream pairing?
Tina Fey/Robert Downey Jr.
Because you know they'd be made of epic snarktastic gold. Plus, you know, they're kind of hot together.
Day 12 - Who had the best wedding?
Oh, that would be Betty/Armando. Never has a TV wedding felt more real:
I love that they went with real as opposed to overly comedic or dramatic, because when you watch this show, you really feel like you are on their journey with them, and their journey was so long and difficult but full of so many happy memories, and when it gets to the wedding you are just smiling like a loon and you feel like you're really there with them, like you're a part of their family, and it's just utterly beautiful (and yes, I cry every time, because again, they feel like real people that you've known forever and you're just so happy to finally see them together, all their dreams coming true). And I love the fact that Armando got these people to come and sing that duet at their wedding, because it's the song that Betty and Armando sang together on their first date, and Armando remembering this signifies that that moment had been important to him. He remembered this little detail even though at the time he had thought that he didn't care about her, but clearly he did, at least a little bit.
