Hi all,

A quick update on some things, since I've been a bit remiss in posting lately outside of twitter! I don't mean to neglect you. Some exciting things have been happening - the lovely bauble visited me in Toronto last weekend and lots of fun and adventures were had, and then next month I'll be joined by my brain-twin, fossarian, so we can experiment with a)

Cool! Looking forward to reading your BB - and baseball fics? I could go for that too.... :D

I was not a fan of the new Lady Gaga album. I thought it lacked the originality and verve of the first one. The one exception: Edge of Glory. Because that shit is catchy as hell and really fun to run to.

I wasn't, like... not a fan of it, but I do agree that I wasn't neither original nor as energetic as the last one. But I'm also someone who thinks "Teeth" and "Speechless" are her two best songs, ever. I really like "Government Hooker", "Schiebe", "Bloody Mary", and "Americano" on this one, though, as well as the White Shadows remix of "Judas" (ran my ass off to that one this morning, otherwise I can't stand the song). And "You and I" has a very Billy Joel-esque sound to it... but that's sort of it, for me. Her first album was all HER, and I don't particularly feel like she's trying too hard to sing on this one. It's more gimmicky

See, this is what bothers me about her now. For fear of sounding like a pretentious ass wipe, I really do think she was better before she was super famous because it has sort of become all about the spectacle and less about the music. Know what I mean?
