"work-puppy"
melissa introduced me to the concept of a "work-boyfriend," and now here is a "work-pet." you may have a great pet at home (e.g. kismet), but during the 9 to 5 grind, you can have a different pet that you love in a different way. mom has a work pet. HERE he is. you can tell him to do tricks, like roll over, jump, shake, down, stand, play dead, dance, kiss, etc. cute, but don't forget about your kismet at home.
man in bear suit mauls mentally disabled swiss man
the bear (named Finn) and the 25 year old man (who cares) both survived. the guy got tumped (or fell) into the bear's house, if you are wondering how he got in there. the police shot Finn 7 minutes after the incident began, so he would quit eating dude.
remember the last time this happened?
thx for the tip melissa! that bear is cute!
does anybody here care what adam lambert did during the AMAs?
he is quickly working his way towards irrelevance in my eyes. i watched the show and didn't blink an eye during his performance. i did, however, want to cover my ears. harumph.
Rated R, Joel's Official Review
I love Rihanna, and this album didn't do anything to change that. Rated R is being called her most mature and best work to date. I don't see any SOS or Umbrella moments on this record, but it is a sold group of tracks that show focus, direction and a willingness to abandon pop radio friendliness in order to set a scene and express a feeling. i welcome the artistic growth, and genuinely appreciate the effort. 11 biscuits!
2) Wait Your Turn : the wait is ova! this one really pumps me up. its like all the months of anticipation are paying off. not exactly a club banger, but its catchy and i see it working really well live.
3) Hard : good solid single. still sounds good from when we first heard it.
4) Stupid In Love : this one seems most directly linked to chris brown, which is ironic because its one of the few on the album that she didn't have a hand in writing. sample lyric "i still love you but i just cant do this, i may be dumb but im not stupid in love"
5) Rockstar 101: this is one of my very favorites. i can tell you from experience that it sounds much better played loud on external speakers. slash on guitar, for real.
6) Russian Roulette : this song has been growing on me ever since i heard it weeks ago. it just gets better and better each time i listen.
7) Fire Bomb : despite the song title, this one is a little softer than the rest, but it really showcases rihanna's ability to do more than just sing a flat hook. the voice is pretty, ri ri. xoxo.
8) Rude Boy : fun song. this is one that im going to keep listening to
9) Photographs : will i am collabo. this one is more mellow and reflective. unfortunately it sounds like a black eyed peas b-side to me. rihanna is better than fergie, and will i am needed to bring it a little more.
10) G4L : i really love this song. its working with some fun production, and rihanna sounds hot 2 death. gangsta4lyfe.
11) Te Amo : good, not great. i don't like it when nelly furtado or shakira try to sneak spanish into my ears, so rihanna shouldn't even go there.
12) Cold Case Love : the justin timberlake collabo. if i had to guess, this is the song about britney that justin shelved in favor of cry me a river. good song, but i would have rather rihanna just cover cry me a river.
13) The Last Song : great last song. appropriately epic and final word-ish.
there is another justin timberlake collabo called "Hole In My Head" out there that was released as a special promotion. when i get my hands on it, i will let you know how it feels. was this post sufficiently fan boy-ish?
surprise
did you know that joanna newsom was pretty and dating andy samberg? surprise! loved Ys, ready for more.
daily ri ri
its been officially 24 hours since rated r hit the streets. have you listened yet? ive been listening non stop.... stay tuned for my album review.
your daily ri ri today was brought to you by joey tony pepperoni, who sent in this picture. he spotted rihanna in times square, and by his account, rihanna told him she loved him. i believe it because rihanna DOES love her fans. that much is certain.
so cute!
