New Weird Al song yay!!!!!



There is much debate over whether or not the song has been officially approved yet. Al's blog post said Lady Gaga did not approve it, then another press release said that Lady Gaga's management is the one that denied it but she approved it. Either way, this means Al has a new album almost done! Which means he will be touring again -- [livejournal.com profile] maybedeadcat, [livejournal.com profile] andy_wolverton, and [livejournal.com profile] simontrueheart: if you have not EXPERIENCED Weird Al LIVE then you WILL be experiencing it with me!!!! I've seen him 3 times and each show is just so hilarious.

In other news - finally started the Single Player mode of Portal 2 today. First, I have to say, OMG STEPHEN MERCHANT! SERIOUSLY? I already had a bit of a crush on him from the Ricky Gervais Show bits, he cracks me up. But now he does a voice in PORTAL 2!!!???!! Yes, I wanted to hug his little robot! Played a LOT of the co-op mode yesterday which is also a total blast. If you got the game, hop over to [livejournal.com profile] gamertree - I'm trying to get a good discussion going over there!!!

Just got done watching BtVS s6e10 Wrecked with [livejournal.com profile] maybedeadcat (it's his first time watching the series so don't post any spoilers). Suffice it to say, that really has to be one of my least favorite episodes. I mean, lots of people point at Beer Bad and wrinkle their nose and say it was the worst, but at least it had a great sense of humor. Wrecked is so heavy handed in the drug metaphor and so damn dark! But, I'm sure the writers knew this at the time, but just felt stuck because they had to make Willow admit to her addiction and having everything fall apart is really the only way for that to happen. At least the next two episodes are much lighter...

...though [livejournal.com profile] maybedeadcat mentioned he needs to watch BSG (which he def. does since he's coming to Dragon*Con with me and there are SO many BSG people there) and now I kind of want to rewatch that and it's all streaming on Netflix too...all this "working" stuff really eats into my video game and watching tv shows time!!!

Oh, and everyone wave HELLOOOOO to [livejournal.com profile] wicked0witch, my newest LJ friend. She is a HUGE Doctor Who fan, cosplays as Amy, has some amazing costumes.

Weird Al!!!! Thanks so much for linking to the video. I hope he creates a video to this song now that he's got permission--he'd make an incredible Lady Gaga. And yeah, I want to see him live again. He was beyond awesome when I saw him on the Touring With Scissors tour. The finale was an incredible The Saga Begins (with "Darth Maul" on piano) segueing into Yoda.

Weird Al comes to one of the county fairs near me every year (we even got his cool Al's Brain exhibit), but I've never actually seen him live. I need to remedy that ASAP.

My partner has to pick up our copy of Portal 2 and I'm hoping to play it soon. I'm super excited about it. (Even if I may have to have help getting through it. XD)

/waves hello to [livejournal.com profile] wicked0witch :D

Yessss see him live if you can, it's just too much fun!

The co-op mode on Portal 2 is a great way to warm up your brain for single-player haha. I highly recommend it!

Weird Al's own youtube channel posted this video, and there's a tag on it saying the song's now been approved.

Gaga's manager admitted that he hadn't even told her about the song, and that he himself rejected it. When she heard it, she loved it, and now it's in.
