Sorry it's taken a week to blog about this, but it's been a busy week! That's right Little Monsters, last Friday morning Lady Gaga released her long awaited and much anticipated new single off her new album: " BORN THIS WAY ." The radio ( 96.5 in particular ) played it every hour on the hour all weekend! Which came as a pleasant surprise as I drove home from Sarah's at 6:59 Friday morning n.n Then Sunday night, Lady Gaga performed her new song live at the Grammy's for the first time. Never to be out-dressed or out-staged, she arrived at the red carpet being carried "Roman-style" by her back-up dancers, having spent the entire weekend inside of a giant egg, which the egg's designer has labeled a "vessel." During the Grammy's, I followed the Twitter chatter, watching live updates of things people posted about the Grammy's. It was actually really fun to watch so many people's opinions in real time, it was almost like

Well today has had it's ups and downs. At work, working midnight to 6 am trying desperately to stay awake even when I'm full of Redbull and bottled Starbucks. This is made out of Redbull cans! WOW! Lets see, stayed up til 2am last night somehow watching Star Wars IV with Sarah. (That was probably not so good a decision, but it was due today.) Woke up for class at like 6am this morning, had "Instructional Techniques" with the awesome bearded teacher; that class was boring. We're doing practice discussions so students can get experience leading a class discussion, even when it goes sour. We have to have 20 minutes of discussion. I talk a lot in that class, haha, sometimes I feel bad but no one else is talking and it's the point of the activity! I'm not going to leave the teacher-student hanging there. Especially when I have a valid opinion that hasn't been voiced yet. Anyway, one of the problems was that all three group-discussion leaders used the

Haha, I should probably write a blog about my birthday, or Valentine's day, or 'Born This Way', but I'm going to skip those for now and come back to them -- and rather write about the Fergie song Fergalicious! While I was enjoying some light reading recently, I felt the need to check out an early Stacey Ferguson song, while she was a member of a '90s band: " The Wild Orchard " (which sounds like a fruit juice brand....) Yeah, greatest song ever it isn't. But it did put me in the mood to hear good Fergie: ergo, "Fergalicious." Again, greatest song ever it isn't. But who among us can say it isn't catchy! Few artists can turn themselves into an adjective quite so well as Fergie. (Though Lady Gaga certainly has succeeded, if you've seen the tweets about Nicki Minaj's Grammys hair.) Something I've never noticed before: the background dancers in the beginning of the Fergalicious music video? They have cereals painted o

Phew, busy week. So I thought with my Birthday being this weekend, I would throw out a few really simple Birthday gifts people could get me ya know with their spare money lying around! :D So with my move into the condo, I'm trying to organize the family's things, especially setting up an organized system for our DVDs. And I've realized recently, that I don't own many DVDs that aren't seasons of TV shows (because back in 2005 and earlier we went through a phase of buying lots of TV shows on DVD.) Well, there's a lot of movies you could probably find for like, 6$ that I also would like. As a rule, I do enjoy me some special edition DVDs or even Blu-Ray (even though my laptop is the only Blu-Ray player we got.) Still, why not prepare for the future! Especially since our house has 2 high def TVs. But, Here's a few! 1. " Minority Report ". This is one of my favorite movies. I really love movies that display the future in a realistic way, especially

Firstly, YAY SNOW DAY! :D In addition to having UA off, the school I was supposed to meet my teacher also had a snow day. So some emails will be going on there. Which will be alot easier because as of this afternoon: Internet and Cable at the Condo! *U* Song of the Day : Yesterday I came across this video parody: "Disney Princess Ke$ha" ... but the parody stars the Real Ke$ha! Hahaha, it's kinda out there (but then what Ke$ha thing isn't?) but I kinda like it. I've played it as background music a few times definitely. Haha, one part I especially like is that the "fairy godmother" at the end is the guy from the hilarious Key of Awesome videos, Mark Douglas ! Video of the Day: Apparently it's not even her first appearance there. Last November she gave a somber interview explaining the $ in her name . Quote of the Day: "I'll sneek in your house, and I'll leave before dawn! Your daughters will be pregnant, and your cookies wil
