Heads Up, Save My Life!

I’ve started taking Clarivis, an Isoterotine drug for severe acne (basically Accutane under a different brand).

Let me know if I ever get all emo-suicidal on you or something. Thanks.

Holy COW.

As you know, today is “Drop Dead if You’re Famous” Day (no disrespect).

I just noticed. Since this morning, Michael Jackson now holds 8 of the top 10 videos downloaded on iTunes. 8. This morning I had glanced at them, thinking “Wow, Lady GaGa has 3?! That’s a lot! I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that many!”

Eight. 8. Eight. 8.

Out of 10.

That’s HUGE. In one day, even. Sure, he’s a superstar, but wow. He’s even got more spots in the top 20.

The weird part is that he’s knocked out some massive videos, ones that have some star power behind themselves, such as the Black Eyed Peas’ “I Gotta Feeling,” as well as some videos that have been on the list for months, like “I’m On A Boat” and “Poker Face.”

Notably, GaGa’s “Paparazzi” (an 8-minute train-wreck revenge murder/soft porn psychosis video for a 3-minute stalking song) holds the 6th spot as of posting, and “One Time” by Justin Bieber is 10th.

I’m shocked. I guess it’s true, though, that you reach a new level of fame in death, one unattainable in life. This is a very powerful example supporting that idea.

Eight. 8.

Not Dead Yet!

…And I made it to 18 years old today! Plus I’m better, FYI.

Mystery Diagnosis.

Did I mention I was going to be featured on Mystery Diagnosis? No, I did not, because it is not true. But I feel like I should be.

I took a trip to Disneyworld about three weeks ago.  During some parts of the trip I was fine, but towards the end I got dizzy sometimes (and I do not get motion sick, so that wasn’t it) and got some usual cold symptoms.  Then I started getting a sore throat when I got home, but I had been to Disneyworld and God only knows how many strep throat germs are there.

So I went to PriMed, the doc-in-a-box here, and was basically told nothing at all after blood work, strep tests, x-rays, and the works, given an antibiotic, steroid shot, breathing treatment, and sent home with four prescriptions.

Sick for about a week with no relief, I dumped the cough syrup the doctor prescribed and began taking a Tylenol cough syrup which also helped with the fevers I got, and it actually helped my choughing. I’ve lost my appetite almost completely and haven’t been sleeping like I should. (One night I didn’t sleep at all.)

Yesterday I went to Physical Express, which is the doc-in-a-box in the next town over. I’d never been there before, but they were absolutely fantastic.  They did the usual tests, but were much more interested and thorough.  They gave me a stronger antibiotic, took me off of the old prescriptions, and gave me an hour-long IV drip for dehydration.  They also arranged a follow-up appointment at their office and referred me to an ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist, which is where people on Mystery Diagnosis go). They think I have cryptic tonsilitis, but they said that I definitely have an infection in my throat and that my tonsils will probably have to go, but that was for the ENT to decide.

So if I haven’t been posting, this is why. If I never ever post again, I died. The end.

Best. Tour. Ever. Baby.

Sunglass fetishers everywhere are about to pass out.

Kanye and GaGa are going on tour.  Together.

This picture is what dreams are made of. The Eurythmics sang songs about this right here.

Also, I totally nelected to mention that I went and saw Coldplay live in Birmingham, Alabama a while back. Anyways, it was awesome and they gave everyone a CD that is also available here.

Sadie and KellTick’s Mosaic Thingie.

See here for rules and such. I don’t usually partake in these chainy things, but this one looked fun.

That’s what she said.

1. What is your name? Zachary
   This page was covered with Spock and that guy who plays Chuck.  Apparently, they are Zacharies.
2. What is your favorite food? Petit Fours.
   I seriously picked the first thing that came to mind here.
3. What is your hometown? This is a secret.
   The bridge that this is a picture under is THE landmark in our town.  There are others, but it’s the big one.
4. What is your favorite color? Blue.
   Blue blue blue.
5. What is your favorite movie? Jurassic Park.
   Dinosaurs are awesome, and this movie is, too.
6. What is your favorite drink? Water.
   I’m so plain and boring that I drink water, apparently.
7. What is your dream vacation? Venice.
   I’ve always wanted to go to Venice. I’ve painted like a million pictures of that place.
8. What is your favorite dessert? Brownies.
   And petit fours qualify for food, not dessert, apparently.
9. What is one word to describe yourself? Tired.
   I was going to do “sexy,” but that would probably turn up pictures I don’t want to post.
10. How are you feeling right now? Content.
    I’m always tired, so it isn’t a feeling, it is a state of being and therefore describes myself. Also, odd picture.
11. What do you love most in the world? Family, Jesus, and music.
    Three things, because I love them all so much.
12. What do you want to be when you grow up? An orthodontist.
    This picture makes me smile.

Notice how number 10’s picture doesn’t show up.  It was some image of the Creative Commons symbols and such, and I was technically stealing it probably, but it didn’t show up. Irony, copyright-style.

So, How Great is This?

Farrah Fawcett’s kid, right, is named “Redmond.”  And he’s a ginger.  It’s like she wanted him to be made fun of for his hair.  (Although her hair is infinitely more mockable.)

And apparently, all that making fun of made him into a drug dealer for prisons.  It’s like the “Boy Named Sue” Effect worked much too well.

And “Farrah Fawcett” should totally have an “e” on the end, just saying.

YouTubesday: While the Real Picture’s Down There…

Most impulsive YouTubesday ever, but I saw this as a related video to something today and I figured “hey, while the original’s just a post below, why not put up this awesome speed drawing of it that’s exactl like it?”

Anyways, while the person that makes these pictures (Nathan Wynburn) is kinda scary weird looking, this is a quite interesting video.  He has lots of others (and I was actually going to use one of them, but this was the most accurate in the end) that you might should check out.

Lady Gaga: The Best and the Worst All at Once.

By the number of Lady Gaga posts I have made thus far, you can assume that I love that chick.

But then I hear this song, and I wonder what I am thinking:

It’s repetitive and annoying and gets stuck in your head like nobody’s business and it’s basically an advertisement for Dr. Dres.  The only redeeming quality?  “Now that we’re alone got a request / Could you make me number one on your playlist?” is possibly the absolute best couplet I’ve ever heard.

But after I get over my hate for “Starstruck,” I see this:

Holy crap she’s good.

In Case You Haven’t Heard of Wisely:

And yes, that is so Pam.
