No Total Recall explody head lady?
*nothing but cheers reruns*
And if you're really lucky a M*A*S*H* marathon!
I don't watch much tv but I still enjoy M*A*S*H* when I stumble upon it.
I am so broken inside.
guess I wasn't paying attention because I rushed off to get a beer
first four seasons of mash weren't horrible- they were actually pretty good. after the initial colonel (general? haven't watched it recently) left then it was a pile of bullshit and alan alda got preachy as all hell.
I swing wildly between extremes with her. I fucking loved the videos for Bad Romance, Paparazzi and Telephone. Born This Way slooowly grew on me and I loved Judas and Edge of Glory (for being mindless pop songs, she usually brings the meaning and depth in her videos)
And then the video for Born This Way was forgettable as hell, Judas's video was a mess, and 3/4ths of the interviews I read leave me either deeply embarrassed for her or wanting to shake her while screaming 'shut up! shut up! WHY WON'T YOU SHUT UP'
She needs to just go away for six months.

i've heard that she's been doing mountains of cocaine
Mountains of cocaine led to one of her better songs (Beautiful Dirty Rich).

don't worry, we've sent a time agent to retrieve you from 2007
god
never in a harmful way, but I find it interesting and I always wonder what it will produce. Although I don't listen to lady gaga anyway I still sort of hope that's true.
ok, 4th one is the charm on this album, i hope.
it seems more like it would inspire someone to write a song involving lots of yelling about how great they are
Some people seem to really need it.
See: Weiland, Scott.

League of legends. I picked Jarvan and a pub picked Vayne. Midway through the game, Vayne starts attacking the lizards to get the red buff and I walk on over to help take down their life bar. It was my intention to let Vayne have the last hit and gain the red buff but my Wriggle's Lantern automatically procced and, whoops, I stole red. "Why you take red?," Vayne whined. Mind racing, I replied with the first thought that popped into my head. "Because I am the man here. Welcome to the Patriarchy."
I am a terrible person.
A talentless person isn't going to improve their game any no matter what they snort.
Well that would explain her interviews and articles.
The works of Bach haven't "evolved" in 260+ years but I can't claim to be bored of them. (or, to pick a more recent example, the works of Soundgarden).
Is it possible she was never really good to begin with, just sufficiently unusual to be momentarily eye catching?
that's awesome
Osama.
Honestly, every time I've heard about Osama in the last couple of weeks I've been thinking, "At least I'm not hearing about Charlie fucking Sheen" but I haven't voiced that because bringing him up would defeat the purpose of not talking about him.

Speaking as a mentally ill person (mental illness and drugs are the Big Two things that people see as hallmarks of a great arteest)
Art is, no matter what, a fucking lot of hard work.
Marijuana and mania help me crank out first drafts. That's about it. Everything I produce is garbage, drunk or sober, medicated or in the heights of craziness. I need to sit, read, refine, edit. But a lot of artists, or at least writers at the amateur level, like to pretend this step doesn't exist. They like to think that they have true talent that means they don't have to work as hard.
99% of art is editing. This is part of why I think Gaga's second album is a lot more lackluster. I think she's surrounded herself with yes-men and she's too successful for execs to say no to. I think she desperately needs a harsh critique committee around her, to market her, and to filter all the shit she's throwing at the wall.
The Rapture happened, and he was the only one taken.
That's what all that "winning" was about.
i would suggest that if you listened to bach with the frequency that most people listen to their current music-of-the-week, you would quickly get bored with it
And with that, to bed.
Some days I look up to the sky and I pray to a God I have forsaken:
"Please let me be eventually become a time traveler who comes back in time to post in [chat] as Feral."
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
hmm, fair enough. I don't think I listen to anything as frequently as the people who post music in chat seem to.
it says piet mondrian so i want to read it
but it says lady gaga so i dont want to read it
what is it?
