So I got my second editorial letter for Some Girls Are last week and I’m on a considerably tighter deadline than before. And now you know what killed my return to regular blogging! I am on such a tight deadline, you guys, I technically don’t even have time to write this entry to tell you that but since I spent like, 30 minutes last night watching REAL TRUE GHOSTS CAUGHT ON CAMERA on YouTube, I thought, you know what?
I will MAKE the time.
Except now I don’t know what to write.
I have burned up like a comet upon entering the atmosphere.
So maybe I will just talk about Lady GaGa.
I feel pretty confident that I’m the last person in the world to discover Lady GaGa. Haters to the left, I love this chick and foresee us being BFFs the moment she knows I exist. She’s ridiculous! And she doesn’t care! Me too, Lady GaGa! Me too! I haven’t reached the point where I will be traipsing around Paris in a nude bodysuit, but you know. One day.
Maybe.
Anyway, here is the reason I love Lady GaGa: her songs, Beautiful, Dirty, Rich and Just Dance totally remind me of The Great Gatsby, which is the only book about Beautiful, Dirty, Rich people who Just Dance that I can stand. I bought her album thinking the whole thing would be like this sonic cynical take on lifestyles of the rich and shameless from someone who is shamelessly rich, but mostly it’s about Buying In, which is mildly disappointing but IT’S STILL REALLY CATCHY SO THAT’S OKAY.
Also did you know GaGa penned Quicksand, which is the best B-side on Lady BritBrit’s latest, Circus? If you don’t love her for that I don’t know what to tell you. You’re a weirdo. Here is the music video for Beautiful, Dirty, Rich. I was going to put a disclaimer about how she’s writhing around on money in little clothing, but there’s lots of swearing in Cracked Up to Be and nobody disclaimered that, so I think I will just let you discover it all for yourselves and then watch you be appropriately shocked about what they’re putting on the MTV these days.
Hee hee hee! Oh, you should’ve seen the shocked look on your face! It was great!
Now I shall post an amusing image.
AND NOW I SHALL REVISE.
(Best blog post ever, Y/Y?)

What is v. amusing about that last pic is that guy looks like a former boss of mine. (I highly doubt he could pop one collar, let alone four).
If it makes you feel better I discovered I don’t need to download Ghost Hunter, I can just stream it. Am never going to get anything done EVER AGAIN.
Four popped collars? Wow, that is seriously cool. No way could I get away with that. One more dream crushed…sniffle.
You are not the last person in the world, I had never seen that video before!
Lady GaGa might be a ~*ho*~
Lol. Have fun revising, Court! Come back soon *waves* Bye!
WHERE did you get that pic of my BF and WHO is that SKANK with him????

I absolutely love your book, Cracked Up To Be.
It is sooo good!
It comes in the VERY small percentage of my favorites!
I can’t wait for your next one!
:)
That coolness image just about killed me
Briony: HAH! He’ll never be four-popped collars cool then. And omggg. Streaming media is the devil. The wonderful devil!
Angela: I’ll sniffle with you. *sniffle*
whitney: I THINK SHE IS.
Hannah: Thanks, Hannah! Still at it. But my return will be… eventual. :)

Justafan: Thank you *so* much! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the book and you took the time to tell me so!! That means a lot!
Vero: As soon as I saw it I was all, right click + save!
Thanks for the song/video. Sending lots of good-luck-revision vibes your way!
Very funny image. Listened to both songs and I don’t really like either one. I mean, they’re ok, but not the best song by either singer. I do love both Lady Gaga and Britney though. I still need to get Lady Gaga’s CD…
Oh, by the way, I’m not in your list of reviews and interviews for CUTB!!! It makes me sad. :(
Sruble: Thank you!!
Book Chic: I loveeee Lady Gaga. I think she is brilliant. I love how she embraces pop music and gives it a place in art. :) Andd! I am SO sorry about that oversight! I added you to the links. I lost all of my CUTB Review Bookmarks after my laptop died… I’m sure I’m missing many more. Thank you for the heads-up. It’s corrected! :)
