Late night Lady Gaga musings

So this is a first.
I usually write blog posts in my head right before I go to sleep and have this crazy idea that I'll remember it all, complete with witty remarks, to actually write it the next day at naptime. (I sometimes can't remember words like "light" or "window", if that shows you how messed up my brain signals have become) That's why I haven't been posting nearly as often as I'd like. But tonight, I decided to get out of bed before the funny things were erased forever from my crazy sleep deprived mommy focused brain.
Tonight, Alex watched a soccer final, I think it was Lyon verses some German team. During halftime, the network showed music videos, as commercials are not shown on the public channels. So they were showing Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance". And I have to say, I was quickly won over with her outfits and weird imagery. Not so much the music.
I know I'm so late to the party, but she is f'in awesome! Hilarious! So over the top you have to give her credit!
Then the game flicked back on, and I then turned to the internet for a little Gaga research. And by research I mean I checked her out on wikipedia. I was blown away that she is only 24. I mean, yeah there's other stars even younger than her, so I don't know why I reacted with, "omigod! she was born in nineteen eighty SIX?!" Alex looked over at me and then quickly went back to watching the game. "I can't believe that!" I continued. I'm getting old.
Then I started flipping through pictures of her. I've seen some of them before, but never paid any attention. Not until tonight did I see what she wore on the Ellen DeGeneres Show. And of course then there's the kermit jacket and headpiece, of which I am entertaining semi-serious thoughts of trying to make now. (Le Grande Boucan is coming up, people! Wouldn't that be a fantastic costume?!) (also, where can I buy kermit puppets in bulk?) But the best thing so far has been the video for "Telephone", which I cannot stop watching. Obviously, it's not for everyone, and I get the feeling that if you know about her, it's either love or hate, nothing in between. Telephone is is just completly enthralling to me. The details are incredible and delicious! And I love that the cigarette shades are still smoking when she walks onto the scene. (By the way, they are so huge they look like my Dad's ridiculous "sunglasses" that he slips on over his regular glasses. Sorry Dad, unless they are covered with still-smoking cigarettes and you're wearing a Gaga outfit, they're just not as cool, but that's a different scary mental image altogether...) Oh, and Beyoncé, she is GORGEOUS in this video, yellow cowgirl and blue gemmed jacket whoa!, but when is she not, right? (Did I just make up a word? "gemmed"? meh, I think it works.) And what the heck did she sink her teeth into after uttering "You've been a very bad girl. A very, very bad, bad, girl Gaga"? Anyone?
In conclusion, this video is so happy-fun that it's made the computer desktop picture, edging out a recent family beach picture, and it makes me wish the words "Let's make a sandwich" could magically appear over my head from time to time.
Sidenote: I've stayed up long enough now that I can move the laundry rack because it's started raining.
I need sleep, internet. Goodnight.
