not impossible

I was so excited for about fifteen seconds about the existence of a tender acoustic ballad cover of "Poker Face" by some dude, and I was so disappointed to find that he had regendered the lyrics to keep it straight (well, as straight as it ever was).

So here, have the version of "You Oughta Know" that I wish that dude's cover of "Poker Face" were more analogous to.

(...or, wait, is he keeping "Poker Face" queer by changing the pronouns? Is it now about a dude picking up a girl and secretly fantasizing about dudes? Somehow it doesn't really come through that way. Mostly I think he doesn't know what the song is about.)

WAIT, you know what someone SERIOUSLY HAS TO DO with this dude's[1] cover of "Poker Face". OCEAN'S ELEVEN VID Y/Y?


_{[1] Yes, I now know he is a dude who was on "American Idol" at some point.}

kumquatweekend have you SEEN THIS

Resolved: The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford may well be the Last Great Homoerotic Western. (If you'd asked me, I would probably have guessed that Brokeback Mountain had pretty much broken that genre.)

OTOH, maybe it's not really a western? It's like The Talented Mr. Ripley had a love-child with Deadwood on a big ol' bed of Greek idealized male love.

I was amused by this music video even though I don't know anything about Supernatural, so since everybody has suddenly gotten into that show, I thought I should share it with the flist. . .


On an unrelated note, something I think will be nice about living on the east coast, if I manage to do that next year, is that if I'm feeling emo after midnight, I'll know people who are in a time zone where it's before midnight and I'll have somebody to talk to.


Also, happy Independence Day, everybody. Hope you celebrated well and safely.

Hahahahaha, that was SO HOMOSEXUAL.

I don't know if I can handle the style of it in the long term, but OMG THE GAY.
