    Glad she's been released back into general population!

    Been alternating between watching bad reality TV (don't ask; it helps with decompressing after a workweek that kicked my ass) and the local news showing a standoff of some dude who led police on a WILD chase - not just driving erratically, but then he got out of the car, holding a gun, grabbed his crotch and started firing.

    He got hit, stayed on someone's front porch hitting a pipe and keeping the weapon with him.

    Looks like SWAT finally helped to end it.

    Cheers, all!

    I ain't sayin!

    After getting a couple of :angry: 's from the man, I switched to acoustic Manson.

    Had no idea he covered Working Class Hero.

    Go, my fellow MM!

    It's ok to be secretive.Sorry to intrude.I had to ask.

    I actually have a family member who is a fairley well known reality tv star.
    I also try to distance myself when the subject comes up.I never watched any of the show,could care less to be honest.Have some friends and clients who watch/watched and they would fill me in on the nonsense.
    Carry on Hedo.

    Ah, no worries at all, rr! I did watch some Amazing Race later last evening though =)
  • rr165892rr165892 Posts: 5,697
    Now my wife does have me watching the Amazing Race.Interesting concept this time.
  • hedonisthedonist Posts: 24,524
    Ha! I got my husband to watch (some of) it. Yeah, I can't see doing that competition with a stranger, especially one who irritates me.

    (I'm looking at you, female lawyer!)

    Are the 2 super gay guys really the same person? I didn't watch last night so no spoilers.I think the couple with the girl who kinda looks like Amy Adams get along real well for newbies.

    We are hoping with our upcoming trip to London in May that they go to the UK so we can cherry pick cool ideas.I know I am not even a little interested in spending much time in Japan.
  • hedonisthedonist Posts: 24,524
    No! But similar. I think they're doing alright so far.

    And May sounds like a nice time to visit. It's such a pretty country, and so much to see - and eat - in London itself.

    Mrs RR has put up with me for 30 years,I figure taking that fuzzy Foriegner back to her birth place is in order.lol

    Had to come into the office this morning to work on a few projects.I have Ten cranking.No one else here .I just want to say this is one of the best albums of all time.I know there is a lot of PJ purists out there who are sick of the "Hits" but damn this shit never gets old.Deep,Release,garden sooooo fucking great.Eds range is off the hook and the song writing is haunting.
    That's all.Have a good morning loungers.

    I'll never get tired of Ten. My dog, however, doesn't like it; she always leaves the house when I have it on. Could be the volume, I don't know. Well, what does she know about music anyway.

    And have a good time in London.
    my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf

    There is no doubt, it is and forever will be Pearl Jam's best album, and the greatest album of it's time! It's fine to be sick of it I guess, but when I see someone rank it below top 3 PJ albums I automatically assume they are trying to be hip or cool or whatever. It doesn't have to be your fav but you must acknowledge it is objectively amazing.

    Yes I was asking about accommodations but I didn't quite say spare no expense.I said price wasn't nescessarily an issue.Lol kinda different .
    It's a 25th anniversary present so I want it to be a top notch experience.Im not trying to do it on the cheap.but not willing to waste my cash either.
    We found a Hilton Double Tree near Soho and Hyde park that was great in proximity and amenities and had solid value compared to some of the other places we looked at.

    Heading out to pre game for the Journey /Steve Miller show tonight.

    Mrs RR got a set list given to her and a drum stick last time we saw Journey.I got Neil Schons pick (He is a great guitarist and should be mentioned with the greats,IMO) used for the lead to Stone in Love.Hopefully a Steve Miller pick to add to the collection this evening.

    Have a great night guys.Full review tomorrow.

    Whoa! To quote Cheap Trick - "you're taking me back".

    25 years together is quite the accomplishment, rr. Sounds like there's a whole lotta love there.

    Have fun!

    See the Italian subtitles? I kept up admirably - accent and all - for the first 30 seconds.

    Yes, didn't take me long to say "fuckit" but damn! Succumbing is quite nice.

    edit - sonofa...! Mods, hope the linking errors'll be fixed later on.

    (it was U2 - All I Want is You. Very sweet voices and hearts)

    That sounds like a fun combo concert. Two bands that sound different but groove alike. You go to lots of shows, its awesome.

    We love live music Gambs and after starting a family young and raising the little money suckers and getting them out of the house while we are still young(kinda).Gives us the freedom to do so now.Kinda like enjoying now for the years we missed going out to sacrifice for building a buisness and raising a family.
    I get a lot of joy giving shit back to my friends who are also in their 40s but are just now having kids.These same guys would call me and say I was pussy whipped and boring not coming out drinking and partying w them when we were in our early 20s.I think it's working out alright,and we are enjoying the shit out of it.
    Don't get me wrong I love being a dad and enjoyed the hell out of my kids as they were growing up(and now also).but it's our time again.And what better then Rocking out.
