The day before US Thanksgiving doldrums

answer: 15 since 1995

Pfft. And you say you're a fan.

my only pearl jam story is the time I left a festival because I didn't want to see them play, and then eddie vedder's ex-wife crashed our restaurant reservations

cool story bro

:)

xxpost mr veg & his friend have seen them like 30 or 40 times, total deadhead territory

it's like their sphere was going to fuck w/my evening one way or another

on another note, I snuck out of work and am on the couch at home

i wish i was on a couch at home

instead i am on a chair at woooooooooooooorrrrrkkkkkkkkk wwaaaaaah why god why

pearl jam

Got sprung from work early. Didn't stop me from doing no work whatsoever while there.

you're all jerks imo

Actually, I got into a conversation about Pearl Jam with a coworker. Do you happen to remember who opened for them in 2000? I thought it was Sleater-Kinney, but my coworker thought Jesus Lizard.

Off work today, but it's not all good. I'm forcing myself to get thru Computer Chess.

Sleater Kinney opened the 2003 tour iirc. In 2000 it was Sonic Youth -- I double-checked online, they did a few dates with Supergrass as well.

Ah, right, I thought Sonic Youth had opened, I just had the year wrong. Thanks!

Sleater Kinney opened the 2003 tour iirc

True! It's the only time I saw either band. Also, for the encore, S-K, Steve Earle and Cheetah Chrome all came out and played Sonic Reducer.

Oh no, wait. Cheetah Chrome played on Sonic Reducer (duh!) and S-K and Steve Earle came out for Fortunate Son and Rockin in the Free World.

Good show.

i only saw pearl jam once, at lolla '92, jones beach.

not too shabby!

Twice for me in 1992, Lolla out here and way earlier in the year, at the second Rock for Choice show ever...

got off work 2.5 hours early, was mad i couldn't do more work :(

saw the Sleater Kinney-PJ show in '03, at which I had the pleasure of standing behind fans yelling "Get these dikes off! PEARL JAAAAMMMM!"

ughhh

seeing them as middleaged lame douchebros now slightly makes up for them now but still, they were always the worst part of pj shows

they give themselves away when they hi-five over "jeremy"

gonna be two states away by the tme veg gets off work

;_;

And an hour to go HOW THRILLING.

This front window I love so much has turned me into a zoo exhibit after hours.

8 minutes and counting

GET ME THE HELL OUTTA HERE

So far in my big day of just watching movies, I've knocked down ... one and a half.

Fled at 3:45 and made the BAM screening of Michael Ritchie's Smile. "Only if Florence Henderson dies."

Now should probably find out when dinner is tom'w.

DONE. Heading home, dammit.

Just wrapped movie #3, heading out for #4. The day certainly got on track, belatedly.

I'M FREEEEEEEEE

I actally just had an impulse to "like"a post here wtf is with me

Another year, another Wednesday of NOTHING. (Oddly enough my initial post still applies even though I'm in a different library -- we're normally at four staff and today counting me it's two.)

leaving in 15 to see Spielberg/Hanks and get a haircut

Eggs and bacon in about 10 minutes. Yoga in about 60 minutes. Death in about 120 minutes.

Very precise, that.

lol, i'm drinking and sharing peta links on fb

leaving in 15 to see Spielberg/Hanks and get a haircut

Missed the "and" -- I thought, jeez, those guys aren't even trying anymore.

nobody here, my dept still swamped w work, pushed a deadline earlier am now struggling to remain productive so next week isn't murder

one of three ppl left at work (out of like 20 normally); my train isn't until 6:30

should be writing something that's due in a week and a half but am instead largely sitting here watching champions league/college hoops

woke up, wrote a thing about okkervil river, wrote a thing about grimes, now going to work out and pick up a shipment of soda and a shipment of bottled water and a shipment of candy and go down to the theater and cook the chili and cook the curry and go to the bank to replenish the petty cash and load the drive with whatever this weekend's movie is into the RAID and make cranberry sauce and buy weed. hoping for a very relaxing tomorrow.

(leaving out all the ilx refreshing there obv)

My office closes in ~55 minutes. Currently flipping around between ILX, Twitter and Facebook and creating banner ads for deployment in December/early 2016.

Could be worse, everyone. You could be stuck in this airport waiting on your delayed flight with nowhere to sit...and then you have to hear this

Didn't die, but now am sous chaffing for my brother-in-law, so you know ...

gonna hafta google that

Tumbleweeds here. Complete nonsense that our office is open

I've done the one actual task that there was to do, and even that was more personal than work-related. Everything else I could have done that WAS work-related I did...yesterday. 2 1/2 hours to go.

almost made an eagles reference on twitter

still at work but i am going to drink a beer at work, so
