You win, pop musicians.

I am not a big fan of the Black Eyed Peas (hilariously, my dad is) or Lady Gaga (unsurprisingly, my mom is), but today and yesterday I've gained a lot of respect for the latter, and for will.i.am.

Someone posted an Adele vs Lady Gaga gif yesterday, and I went searching for the interview it was taken from. After watching it, I've gained loads of respect for her.

Like, I now DO believe you are an artist and a scholar. Good on you, Gaga.

Also, she ISN'T ugly, surprisingly... she just uses makeup to obscure what she really looks like. It's the ingenious plan that KISS had. You probably wouldn't realize it if you passed her on the street.

And she used to have this Alanis Morrissette thing going on.

And then I heard an interview today about will.i.am riding his segway (hilarious) and being inspired to create a tv show with the goal of changing kids' lives through technology. Dude, really? I'm into that.

Pop celebrities, I thought you were all just vapid party people. Forgive me.

That's why.....This is why.....

Students at Schenectady High School freaked out on Thursday. That is, those of them who were not otherwise on a field trip, or skipping school (Senior skip day is traditionally the day that Jumping Jack's opens, and according to the students still in school yesterday, it opened that day). The students who were left freaked out to find that rapper Mims would be hanging out in the cafeteria at lunch. Apparently, he went to college with one of the teachers or administrators. I'm sure the day was purposefully picked.

"You've never heard of Mims?!" One students asked me, flabbergasted.
I told her no, because I had never heard his name before. And quite honestly, I don't think he is that hot.
