BAD ROMANCE

I know. I am like the last person on earth to post this online, but seriously, the new Lady Gaga video is really good and like intense and creepy and crazy and fifth element meets the scene in Star Wars where Leia performs for Jabba the hut meets like all sci-fi ever, with a shot of McQueen fashions and killer choreography and white slim jim guy hats and latex and sparkler bras. It's fucking incredible and as a total homo I LOVE IT.

Favorite parts= how pretty she looks when she's crying, the whole burning bed/ polar bear coat look, the red outfit dance number especially at the end when they're all clapping like they're doing the horah, and of course the sparkler bra at the very end.

here are some little blurbs other people on the internet have said about it:

"Lady Gaga is everything that terrifies us about the Coming Race: Absolute destructive materialism and complete lack of identity past a 140-letter Twitter quip. Female sexuality inverted into male sexuality and weaponized. Did they build her in an underground laboratory, like the one featured in this video? They must have, for what other perverse, mutated perfection of the human form could be better equipped to succeed in this most horrible of world climates?"

-Jason Louv @ Dangerous Minds

"For those of you who don't get it. The theme of the video is sex trafficking and evolution."

-Jonny Ali

learn something every day..

I'm writing a paper on Japanese New Religion, specifically one called Princess of the Dragon Palace, it's a pretty weird mix of ancient Japanese spiritual beliefs and mythology, Western deities (Jesus & Judaism- identifies the Japanese people as a lost tribe of Isreal, um okay) , and feminism. I'm particularly into this quote by the head shamaness, Fujita Himiko, 

“Man is human, but woman is divine. Men therefore should respect women and learn from them. If a man tries to lord is over women and treat them contemptuously at home, at work, or at recreation, he is far removed from god and will not receive passport to paradise, no matter how pious his religious beliefs may be. Only when all males rever all females and regard them as descendants of the mother god will the human race be saved from destruction.” 

So there fellas! 

(This religious sect is tiny, in the 80s it had maybe a couple dozen followers, maybe none left  today)

Your mother would like to talk to you about things:

I should be writing a paper right now (which was actually due a week and a half ago) about whether or not NPR has a liberal bias (It sometimes does, but who cares) and instead I think I'm gonna just write here about some of the things I like about NPR (because I am your mom).

I like the soothing cadence of the peoples' voices. My teacher works for WNYC and she has such a nice calm british voice. She called me Charles the first day, because that's my real name and all, and I didn't correct her because it sounds and feels really good when british ladies call you Charles (try it sometime.)

I like the show "Tell Me More" it is hosted by Michel Martin who is this really great lady who used to be a big time reporter and now has her own show where they discuss the day's issues and culture and often focus on minority issues. Michel has the aforementioned cadence to her voice but she has more of a sense of humor than many of the other hosts, I think she would be a fun person to have dinner with, she would make me feel smart but not judge me for drinking more than her. I listen to this show online almost every day.
I also like "Fresh Air" with Terry Gross because Terry is the HBIC of NPR, she is a hot lesbian who has all these great guests on her show and a very casual conversational style of interviewing people. She had Tracy Morgan on a couple weeks ago and he cried!! She (and Michel) talks about gay shit more than most other NPR shows. I like it when people talk about gay things.

I also like "This American Life" but really who doesn't so...

I LOVE that it rally makes me feel in touch with my inner upper-middle-class mom, I mean Hello they have a full album preview of Norah Jones's new CD. I LOVE NORAH JONES and I love being your mom.

So go listen to NPR and listen to Norah Jones and shop at Whole Foods and drive a Volvo and join the mom revolution.

I could've probably written my fucking paper in the time i spent writing this...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

throw a hand up's most popular contributor turns 21 on this fair day!

BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CHARLIE.

celebrations to include: watching taylor swift bratz videos, dancing to the brittney spears pepsi commerical, and legally drinking until we get rug-burn on our faces.

A very special person sent me this video today and it is one of the most amazing things I've seen in a long time, and was a very romantic/gay/kind of creepy emails I've received in a while.

OMG you guys, I know that saying this will solidify my position as super-duper-no-going-back queerzilla and I might as well throw out all my clothes and just wear a rainbow flag draped around my body like a goddessy Marchesa gown from now on but...

LIZA IS SO FUCKING AMAZING!
Am I Right!?!
(yes)
I just re-watched "Cabaret" a couple weeks ago after Kristin Chenoweth sang "maybe this time" on Glee and it is pretty much the best movie. Ugh LizaLizaLiza!!!

As 11111lololol11111 said two days ago in the comments on the above video, "Lisa's weird..." Truer words have never been spoken. Lisa is so weird. So is Liza, and that is why i love her (Liza that is, I'm indifferent about Lisa.)

Here's this, which is the best

Is It Just Me...

Or Does Ed Westwick/ Chuck Bass look a whole lot like an "Antz" character
