In Music: Lady Gaga - Alejandro

Okay Lady, we get it, you're eccentric.  I was never a Lady GaGa fan, but I really liked "Bad Romance."  This new song, however, is not my cup of tea.  All I want to do is sing "Don't Turn Around" by Ace of Base.  The similarities are uncanny!  So the only saving grace for this video is the fact that it's jam-packed with homoeroticism and shirtless men. My final assessment: eh

Artist: Lady Gaga
Song: Alejandro
Album: The Fame Monster
Writer: Stefani Germanotta & Nadir Khayat
Label: Interscope

In TV: Glee Season Finale

Last night was Glee's Season Finale.  Let me preface this by saying one thing...Journey was, is, and always will be the greatest band in history.  So anyways, the title of the finale was, you guessed it, "Journey."  The phenomenon of Glee began with "Don't Stop Believin'" and ends with a medley.  Honestly, while I absolutely loved the medley, the rest of the episode left something to be desired.  Vocal Adrenaline's big number was "Bohemian Rhapsody," and the only other songs in the episode were an acoustic version of "To Sir with Love" and "Somewhere over the Rainbow."  Overall, it was a great season and the Journey medley makes up for any other lackluster songs on the finale.

In Life: Inspiration

So I was having a rough day with work yesterday, and was in a foul mood to say the least, when a friend of mine posted this video on Facebook.  This man is utterly amazing!  It makes me want to strive to find joy in life no matter what comes my way.

In Gadgets: iPhone 4

At WWDC 2010 today, Steve Jobs announced the iPhone 4 to be released June 24th, available for Preorder June 15th.  One of the best features is the two cameras, one on the front for video calling, and a 5 mega pixel with LED flash on the back that records HD video in 720.  Another great addition is multi-tasking, now you can browse the web, play a game, and listen to music all at the same time.  Sound like a battery drainer? Well they've included a much larger battery, an insane amount of additional pixels in the screen, a gyro meter and an additional microphone for noise cancelling, all in a thinner frame than the current iPhone 3GS.  Will you be getting one?
