Lady Gagagagagaguh.
1.) Got back from Kelli and Andy's dinner thing and caught the last 30 mins. of SNL. Oh. em. gee. you. guise.
I take back anything bad I may have ever said about Lady GaGa. She's fucking amazing. Fucking. Amazing. (Wait a minute, I don't think I've said anything bad about her. In fact, I think I raved about her performance at the VMAs. Anyway...)
She freestyled her last number (the costume was a kinetic sculpture and it was awesome... until she sat down at the piano) and did a skit with Andy Samberg (both of them in her infamous bubble dress) that made me laugh harder than I've laughed at SNL for a very. long. time.
And Ryan Reynolds was awesome too (and he brought the wifey). Sadly, I missed the weekly Jean K. Jean (ZOOTALORS, Y'ALL!- I've downloaded all of those on Hulu and they always kill me). I'm totally stalking Hulu for GaGa now. G*ddamn! This woman plays a mean pie-anner, has some seriously weird-ass costumes, and she sings so well live it's almost a letdown to listen to her on iTunes now. She's the consummate showman... person. Is she touring? I want tickets nao plz.
ETA: Okay, that sounded "raging fangirl", but it was written at 1am after a very long, eventful day. I'm not going to be writing fic or making icons, but I'm probably boing to give the rest of her CD a listen and try and catch her live at some point, because based on what I've seen, that would be an experience to have.
2.) ZOMG! THE KANGAROOI S SIGNIFICANT. I TOTALLY CALLED IT! MY NEW OTP IS BENFORD/MARSUPIAL!
ETA: Last week's episode "White to Play" featured an AWESOME bit where Chief Wedeck revealed what he was REALLY doing in his flash forward. I don't know where you can download it, but if you manage to find it, it's worth it- those little bits of unexpected humor are what will keep the show popular, imo.

EXTREME DISCRIMINATION!!!!
I purposely overlook your gaga comment.

No GaGa for YouYou? ;)
More appropriate icon is more appropriate.

Lol about the sense of humour, I gotta agree!

Her studio stuff sounds very canned and manipulated, but having seen her "live" twice I have to say she comes across way better- it's as though she's a throwback to an era before recordings and auto-tuners, which is pretty awesome, imo, because lately it seems a lot of performers are fail personified in live shows.
Also, she did this skit with Andy Samberg in which they were both wearing the bubble dress and trying to kiss and I nearly died laughing.
no subject
Yeah, I think she is in it to have a great time, and not take herself too seriously.
Her live stuff always sounds good - I love that about her!

Daniel thought the first dance routine was weird (for Paparazzi), but I thought it was spooky and cool. I do wish she'd taken the Rings of Saturn off her body before she sat down at the piano for her second performance, though, lol. I found it distracting.
Slowly amassing TVD icons, though I still haven't trolled through your stash yet. Saving the best for last. ;)
no subject
I still haven't seen the "Paparazzi" segment, but I'm hoping Hulu will give me some lurve shortly. And yeah, the kinetic ring thing was awesome, but one wrong move and she would have been in slices like a Dali. Xp

Where's the maker hanging her graphics hat now?
Who,
one wrong move and she would have been in slices like a Dali. Xp
LOL, anything for performance art.
Did you see her catfight with Madonna on the Deep House Dish sketch? It could have been a LOT funnier if someone had actually choreographed the fight. As it was, it looked sloppy (says the former actor, lol). Also, Madonna Has Had Work Done. There, I've said it and I'm glad. ;) Though her bod is still to die for. :D

Man, what a memorable way to go- bisected during SNL. I liked her improvised song on the piano, by the way, about whatever it was about (mostly the "I used to be a waitress- HOW YOU LIKE ME NAO?"). I'd love to hear her do jazz- I bet she could riff and scat skillfully.
I didn't see that skit in its entirety- it was on this morning but I just caught a glimpse and actually thought she was PLAYING Madonna. Oops. They must have had a ton of cameos last week. (A cynic might suggest it was all done to overshadow their weak start with Megan Fox, but I didn't find Megan all that objectionable, tbh.) And Madonna has been HAVING WORK DONE since the early 90's- anyone who says different is lying, and frankly I'm ashamed that I even care. Much as I'd like to look as good at her age, she's so rangey looking that I can sort of see what Guy Ritchie complained about- he once said that cuddling her was like hugging a bit of gristle. :p

*showing off this icon, too* I ROTFL when Damon dissed Twilight. :D
hugging a bit of gristle
Oh lord, LMAO. :P

Have fun on the Mommy Track. ;) ♥

BTW- Give up on Andi. She's decided that the show is worthless shit, which is funny as hell because one of her comments "My gripe with VD is that I just don't really care about the high school crap. Maybe I'm showing my age, but I don't like any of the people or their problems." makes just as much sense if you substitute the name of her favorite show (Gossip Girl "GG") for "VD". (Personally, if there were no vampires involved I wouldn't be wasting my time! *lol*)
She's not worthy of the Twilight sporkage in Ep. 4. NOT. WORTHY.

LOL, you sound just like me. A friend loaned me a book and I was disheartened when I realized that there were NO supernatural characters in it whatsoever. I was convinced for the first five chapters that there would be. :P
no subject
It's not like I've enjoyed everything she's suggested to me- SPN is okay, but I'm not really invested, and Gossip Girl is just... it's not bad, just not my thing, probably because it's a little too close to my high school experience and the characters aren't all that engaging, imo. But I'm not going on about it- it's TELEVISION. Who cares? *lol*

If you mean GG, yeah, I would be crushed as well. I thumbed through one of the books at the library and that book/show needs some demons. Or at least a succubus or two. *lol*
If you mean TVD, you might enjoy the next three books in the series- Smith is releasing them in the next year and one of the characters is a Japanese mystic who brings one of the brothers or Elena or someone back from the grave. Not my thing, but you might like it.

No, my friend just loaned me a random book she's always loved. It's about a group of college students who murder someone. That's it. :/ What I wanted was vampires. ;) And there was SO much death/immortality symbolism in the book that I was CERTAIN that at least ONE character had to be a vampire. I am hopeless, lol.
I wouldn't be too hard on Andi. For some people fandoms are a way to stay connected with LJ pals, and when your friends branch off into new territory and you don't necessarily want to follow, it can feel a little sad. I can see how some people would do posts to ask for convincing evidence why they should jump on a particular fandom bandwagon. I'm speculating that that's why she's posted, but it's just a guess. :/ Anyhow, I didn't realize it was so personal to you. Don't take it seriously, if at all possible. Like you said, it's just a show. She can take it or leave it. And you've got lots of other friends to squee with! :)

*rofl* That's too funny. It's like you see them, or want to, EVERYWHERE. And why not? They're pretty and they make plot holes less irritating. :)

My GAWD. You... you have THE MOMMY GENE. O.o
You're right, of course. This kind of stuff always happens to hit right when PMS is kicking my ass. And yeah, I'm chagrined that Andi isn't onboard (totes thought it would be up her alley what with the hotness and the vampire brother kink she says she's got). I know she's mostly joking around. I do wonder, though, whether she's right and it sucks so bad, but on the other hand, I'm just in it for the LULZ.
You know, if I were a real fangirl I wouldn't be full of such raging doubt, would I? NO! I'd be all "ZOMG! THIS IS AMAZING AND LOOK I MADE A FANMIX AND A MANIP AND HERE'S MY FIC!" *LMAO*
The books were cute, but that was years ago- I'm just enjoying a one hour flashback to my teen years every week. :)
WE SHALL SQUEE. OH YES. WE SHALL SQUEE.
no subject
LOL, afraid not. It's The Diplomacy Gene and I was born with it. But if it gives me Mommy Street Cred then all the better. ;)
WE SHALL SQUEE. OH YES. WE SHALL SQUEE
Truer words were never spoke. :D *squee*
