Bad Romance video. I know everyone’s seen it already (even my brother has seen it, and Lady Gaga is pretty far off his radar) but it is SO GOOD. And, I don’t know, even as a guilty pleasure I never got as into Lady Gaga as I wanted to before…her songs never quite worked for me. This one does. And god, this video!

Reading Hemingway
“All right, Conscience, he said. Only don’t be so solemn and didactic. Get a load of this, Conscience old friend, I know how useful and important you are and how you could have kept me out of all the trouble I have been in but couldn’t you have a little lighter touch about it? I know that conscience speaks in italics but sometimes you seem to speak in very boldfaced Gothic script. I would take it just as well from you, Conscience, if you did not try to scare me; just as I would consider the Ten Commandments just as seriously if they were not presented as graven on stone tablets. You know, Conscience, it has been a long time since we were frightened by the thunder. Now with the lightning: There you have something. But the thunder doesn’t impress us so much any more. I’m trying to help you, you son of a bitch, his conscience said.”
-Ernest Hemingway, The Strange Country
