gaga deliverance.

Lady Gaga is a genius of pop culture manipulation and exploitation, and will surpass Madonna within the year. She put on a wicked show, using footage that emulated Andy Warhol's factory films, dubbing herself 'Candy Warhol'. She stood on a piano bench wearing nothing but a slew of bubbles and pounded out impromptu interpretations of Kanye songs and glorious acoustic versions of her own songs. I don't necessarily like all of her music, but the overall effect of the visual was stunning. I do take issue with the countless douchebags in the audience who insist on standing in front of me (I'm 5'2"), their stupid cell phones aloft, taping low-res videos the entire time. Whatever happened to just enjoying your life in REAL TIME? (as I frantically check my facebook and type this pointless blog- just enjoying reality!)

We had to drive back the following evening as Adam got called into work. Between Parry Sound (nowhere) and Sudbury (double-suck-nowhere) we pulled off the road so he could take a piss. It was 1:30 a.m., completely deserted, pitch black. I heard him say "check out the stars Tiffy!" and just as I started to get out of the car he lurched back in, screeching away. Some random man was about two-hundred feet away, and called out

"Hey Guys! Can you give me a ride downtown?"

Fucking downtown?! There is nothing within 200 km of this Deliverance-inspired scene. Certain that our lingering there would end in our premature demise, Adam had driven away with his pants down. I was completely oblivious.

"Oh..your pants really ARE undone. Weird!"

I hadn't seen the guy but Adam thought he 'sounded' like a grizzled bushman.
