Product review for my new ZAAG keyboard.
Finally got myself a keyboard for my iPad mini. It has turned into a mini laptop all of a sudden ❤ (boo just realized can't add emojis unless I turn off the keyboard.) Now I have to remember to actually check my spelling and also to use the shift key. Regardless it is better than typing on the touchscreen keyboard. It is pretty awesome. Also it has a backlight on the keyboard. WHICH lights up in many different colors. I prefer the turquoise, purple, white, and green lights. The other colors are a blue, a red (I hate the color red tho), and a yellow. Pretty neat. I feel like I can do so much with this awesome gadget. Even typing in the dark!!!! Now I just have to get used to the certain placing of the keys and some minor things that having such a small keyboard brings. Some of those things are smaller keys and some keys are merged together. Its okay tho. I will be uploading a photo soon too add to this entry. YAY!!!! I love helpful gadgets. I can now do anything work related or teaching related on this or blog related (as long as I'm connected to a wifi source).

LADY GAGA
If you know me AT ALL ... You all knew a post like this was to come eventually. A WHOLE post dedicated to the AWESOME Lady Gaga. But as I am coming to realize now there is quite a lot to say regarding her. Her music, her way of dressing, and everything else that comes along with one being a celebrity.
AND if you knew me even more you would know that I would be listening to her music as well. (Right now "Summerboy")
Okay so onwards to awesome post, that I am EXTREMELY EXCITED to write!!!
(Now "Telephone")
Well since I am listening to "Telephone" at the moment let me talk about this song, even though it is a bit out of order to the actual song sequence. Anyway so this song I find to be very interesting. Why? Well the song itself is intensely catchy. It has a BIG party vibe to it, and it talks about ... Well not wanting to answer a phone call ... And then there's a club mentioned, and her heart has been left on the dance floor, and Beyonce steps in. SO this song is pretty much awesome. Well then the video comes along, and it is the complete opposite of the song, which I mean oh well it's Gaga right? The only thing is that this video while it is related to the "Paparazzi" video it does not fully fit the song. There's a jail, people dead in a diner, cigarette glasses, lots of poison, a pussy wagon ... AND dancing lots of dancing around dead people. I have nothing against this video I love the amount of work into it, the outfits are incredible (well with the exception of the last ones with the huge amount of fabric. My favorite of them all would have to be the caution tape outfit, the US flag outfit, AND the cigarette glasses [there are also some comb glasses which are pretty rad]). Anyway what I do like about this video is the fact that well we all assumed the video was going to be predictable, but in the end it turned out to be completely unpredictable!!!!! And I appreciated that. Why? Because if it was going to be a dance/party video it would have turned into another "Just Dance" video. Therefore disrupting the way that the Lady Gaga videos have become, and in the end that would have been a sad day for the real Gaga fans who actually appreciate her off the wall videos.
SONGS.
Okay so now there are many more songs, "the CLASSICS" ... "Pokerface","Love Game", ... All these songs are great. These songs have a poppier feel. They all have a different theme to them by the way she sings them. Let's take "Pokerface" for example ... She sings in a monotone sort of voice. Which makes it sound as if she really has no emotions regarding to men. Why? Let's take this lyric "I won't tell you that I love you. Cuz I'm bluffin' with my muffin." That pretty much says all that's necessary about the song and her monotype voice. It all fits well. I have to say that this was a song I listened to a lot non-stop when I was in a relationship I did not want to be in. "Love Game" well that one is straight up all about sex, whether and gender does not matter at all. Funny thing, this song actually made me like Lady Gaga. I did not know it was her, I have a tendency to not really like female singers, but something about her made me actually like and want to listen to all her cds.
Okay so let us move away from the songs for a bit (I want to talk so much about the songs that I need to break it up now and again!)
GAGA FASHION.
Onto Gaga's clothing. It has always been a topic of discussion and controversy. I happen to appreciate her wardrobe. She obviously has some straight up courage to wear some of the stuff she does. AT first her wardrobe wasn't too crazy. She was pretty basic long summery dresses, a hair bow, she pretty much looked like a normal celebrity.
With her "Paparazzi" single that's where she began to have a different fashion change. There were many crazy outfits. Who can forget the meat dress? I honestly thought that it was a very bold thing to do, and while many people critisized the dress I thought it was a very creative way to advertise how people wear leather and in a way it is technically like wearing raw meat on one's body.
On a note relating to me and Gaga I actually saw her at the Denver airport OH YEA. She brushed into me WHOOO. She was wearing heels without the backing ... A dark red lipstick, a weird coat, her hair was up kinda messy, dark sunglasses ... It was awesome.

Meh.
Alright so you will all be mad at me. Today I was unable to produce an actual post. Why?
I was only to work 5 hours (leave work at 315pm), someone called in sick ... I stayed for 9 full hours (got out at 730). AND to top it all off the buses here always come late (when I say late I don't mean 5-10 minutes ... I mean 20 or more minutes.) SO by the time the bus rolled around it was 825pm I got home at 9pm walking and all. I was so set on writing an actual blog post UNTIL I sat down for a bit. I realized how tired I was. [AND sad. My bf is probably asleep so no vidchat or im-ing or ANYTHING :( damn west coat being 3 hours behind the prestigious NY.]
Anyway. I apologize to all. I will definitely make up for it hopefully tomorrow, we shall see how work treats me.
Enjoy this drawing of a skull ... :D

Okay so since I'm going to be at work for 5 hours, I decided to leave a beautiful drawing of someone with a bone on their head. It reminds me of Wilma, Betty and Pebbles all in one.
ENJOY!!!!!

HOUSE
Okay so this is an obsession of mine. The wonderful show of House. This show is BEYOND amazing.
I was really one of those people that was like "We do NOT need another medical show." "Why do they keep coming up with more? Ugh really?" "WTF!!! NO MORE PLEASE!!!!!"
Yes I admit to watching Scrubs every so often and while I enjoyed it, I did not like the lack of ACTUAL doctoring. It got boring quickly. Only so many jokes will keep one interested. And this show was really based on comedy and their dysfunctional lives. And that Dr. Cox is such a horrible doctor. Trying to hard to be an asshole it just does not fit him at all. This show I would recommend to watch like two episodes a day MAX.
I never watched Grey's Anatomy, so I can not really offer any insight into this show. Even though Patrick "McDreamy" Dempsey was one of the main characters in the show, I just never got interested in it. I guess because I saw even MORE doctor shows pop up EVERYWHERE.
And then House came along ...
And at first i was skeptical. VERY skeptical. I know it came out in 2004. But I didnt really start paying more attention to it until 2007 to now 2010. Why? Because of the whole doctor shows everywhere. And I've never really been one to follow shows consecutively. (A good example I watched the first complete season of Kyle XY. When the second season came along I watched a few of the episodes and then I stopped. *Hmm I wonder what happened to that show in the end*)
ANYWAY. A real REAL reason to watch House is Hugh Laurie. That man can act!!! He makes this role stand out. He not only has a doctor appeal and presence, he isn't your typical doctor.
What Laurie does in this role is incredible. He has a limp because of a misdiagnosis. He also has an addiction to pain killers, and he is also an alcoholic. He is also a genius, a liar (according to him "Everybody lies."), the biggest jerk asshole ever, yet he is still lovable.
This show actually offers insight into all these doctors' lives. Which I found lacking in a lot of shows. They either focused on pure comedy, or on cases not EVERYTHING that could happen. They focus on personal struggles, the doctors do not seem like super heroes or anything, you get actual people with actual issues. You get a feel that being a doctor is not all its hyped up to be.
The main thing that grabbed by attention (other than Hugh Laurie) was the CSI appeal the show has. It gives a different feel to the show. You begin to realize that some the final diagnosis does not come into their mind right away. They make mistakes and are human.
This show is awesome. All else fail on comparison. Over and out!!
