Attack of the Joni

It’s a big night ya know. 

Little Girl, can’t wait, but Big Girl SWEARS she doesn’t want to watch it—says she will suffer through for the sake of family time.  “But I know I won’t like it!” she says.  Apparently fourth grade is the cut-off in these here parts for Jo-Bro love.  Or maybe it’s her father’s fault…He calls them the Jone-ass brothers…and according to him they’re starring in Camp Suck. 

*sigh*  See what I have to deal with?

(But here’s a little secret…I’ll bet he’ll be whistling some Joni tunes while he works on the deck this weekend. *wink*)

 

Why? you ask. How the heck should I know!

Okay, so I was sitting in Lowe’s parking lot over the weekend and Rick Astley came on the radio.  It brought a reminiscent smile to my face…who knew a skinny red-headed white boy could have this voice?  So I told my daughters I would find this on YouTube so they could see the singer…Well, I promptly forgot.

However, while I was playing on YouTube yesterday, I happened to run across this video out of the blue.  I was not looking for Rick Astley…in fact, I believe I clicked on a video that was titled something like, “Now THIS is a REAL alien video!!!”  (No, I’m not kidding.)  I got to wondering whatever happened to Ricky…so decided to do a little looking.

And there it is folks.  The first “Where are they now?” post at Half Hour.

And since I don’t want to be the ONLY one here with this FREAKING SONG PLAYING IN MY FREAKING HEAD OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER….I thought I’d share.  XO

What do you know? America DOES have talent!

Some highlights from last night’s premiere…

Neil Boyd sings opera…

Kaitlyn Maher aged 4.

Baton Boy…David Hasselhoff tells him he can tell all the kids who used to make fun of him to “shove it!”

Nuttin’ But Stringz…very cool.

Jonathan Arons puts Napoleon Dynamite to shame.

And of course, since it’s America’s Got Talent, we need one performance from Bizarro World.  This guy looks more like Britney than Britney does.

So, it looks like I’ll be watching after all.

A Wiggly Post

So, remember I mentioned that Fabulous Neighbors won tickets to see The Wiggles over the weekend?  The concert was at a local amusement park, and not only did they go to the concert, but they got the opportunity to spend time with the guys, and Neighbor Girl even got to ride a park ride with Anthony Wiggle!  🙂  They came home with this page of signatures for my Little Girl.

I took Little Girl and Baby Boy to see the concert while Zan worked on the deck.  (Big Girl wouldn’t be caught within 50 miles of the Wiggles for fear that a school friend might see her.)  We had a great time!  This is the third time I have seen them perform live, and they are truly in their element when they are interacting with an audience of laughing, dancing kids!  I regret that I was unable to snap any photos, but I was on my own holding Baby Boy high enough to see the stage, and making sure Little Girl didn’t fall off the picnic table she was standing on.  I considered hanging around outside their trailer in order to get a photo, but then I realized how much flack I would’ve gotten for being a Wiggles groupie, and opted to leave photoless.  😉

But I did manage to locate this video of the event on YouTube!!!  I must have been about ten feet behind this videographer, because this was the same view we had, only farther back.  🙂

Here’s another.
