Lady Gaga Love Affair
It’s hard to believe that the first time I heard Lady Gaga was wayyy back, a year and 7 months ago, in August 2008– and I hated her. While “Just Dance” did get a lot of play from my iTunes, it was more because I am absolutely powerless against anything with a good beat and catchy chorus. It probably has something to do with brainwashing.
Then, Lady Gaga came out with “Poker Face,” which I didn’t really pay attention to because I was (and still am) in this phase where I really only listen to my iPod, because who can pick music that I like better than I can? Somehow, I did manage to catch “LoveGame,” though, and was put off by “I wanna take a ride on your disco stick.” Vommmmiiiiitttt.
Around this time, I started to receive harassment from Josh. He is a crazy Lady Gaga fan. So, I gave her a listen for him and… I still didn’t like her!
Then, something weird happened, and I saw her perform “Paparazzi” on the MTV Video Music Awards, and I thought “Ohhh, cool!” She is a pretty sweet performer, and I can respect that, considering my dance and drama background. Plus, “Paparazzi” is a good song. Much better than the “I’m an irresponsible drunk girl, (“Just Dance”) who wants to ride your disco stick,” songs ( I don’t know about everyone else, but when I think “disco” I think sequins and mirrored disco balls…).
Then, I fell in love with Bad Romance, and then she performed at the Grammys with Elton John, and it pretty much sealed the deal in my books. Also, I’m quite sure I saw some of her private parts during that performance. The whole world is slowing rounding the bases with Gaga, and I must say, I’m not one for that sort of relationship without some sort of emotional attachment. So, I love her.
She seems to be one of those “love her or hate her”-type performers, so… do you love her, or hate her?
My 2009 Film Experience
I am watching the Oscars right now, which is one of my favourite parts of the year. I used to act and make short films, so… yeah. Apparently, I didn’t actually see very many films this year– at least not very many Oscar-nominated ones.
The ones I did see were … read more?
How Google-able are you?
I’ve been thinking a lot about privacy on the Internet lately. Unfortunately, I may be 4 or 5 years too late on this. Some valid points were brought up on my blog vs Twitter entry, regarding the death of personal blogs due to the accessibility of the Internet (and … read more?
