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.

D'oh! I credited her wrong. It's bella_dora, not belladora (posted on vpd_icons). Have fixed the problem on my pics page. :/

*LOL* Oops. That's funny though that the name is popular enough that there's more than one version.

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.

Although to her credit she IS getting hooked on Damon, at least to the point where she's fast forwarding to see his scenes. So clearly she has some good taste. And she did laugh at the Twilight sporkage. ;)

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

Eh, I'm so not a enough of a fangirl to understand her behavior- TVD is fluffy fun that brings back good memories of my gateway drug (to vampires) book experience and that's it. There are a few things that I'm not wild about, but it's not so bad as to justify all the kicking and screaming and "talk me into watching more" and "THIS SHOW SUCKS" and all the comments in my journal that sound like she's on the wrong end of a gang bang because it's SO PAINFUL TO WATCH. Yet she's posted about it twice. We talked the other night and I know she's being funny (part of the time), but frankly I'm starting to wish I'd never said anything to her about this show in the first place.

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.

If you mean GG ...

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.

My GAWD. You... you have THE MOMMY GENE. O.o

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*
