    That one for the Death Star called you back? Try to get a work from home position there. The health plan is good and the "all the rebels you can shoot at freely as long as you are a worse shot than Stevie Wonder completely drunk" is great but the long term prospects are "explosive".

    But can you do something verbally without saying anything? If so, would you want to?

    The implication might be, of course, that there are other ways of saying thingz...other than verbally.
    Or that person is a dolt.

    could go either way.

    Happy to be able to say hello Plan9 and glad you have returned safely son.

    While you were away I put in adoption papers in on you, so you are officially my kid now. Don't tell your girlfriend she might not understand.

    Switched from Jeopardy to Oblivion. I'm not fond of the controls, but so long as I take a break every twenty minutes or so, I'm good.



    I have absolutely no sense of direction, though. Sigh.

    I ended up selling my copy of Oblivion.
    It got to where I felt too alone in the game. I guess I play better when there are other players with me.

    Nothing like starting out a Sat with an 8 am dentist appt. At least I won't have to wait. Then I get a haircut, then I do an hour of cardio then I have a wedding to attend this afternoon. Day off? Hardly seems like it.

    I am hungry and I can't concentrate. Going out to have breakfast with my daughter to see if I can't shake off this mental paralysis.

    I guess I should mention that I am studying for tests this week, thus the need to concentrate.

    I didn't have my juiced veg today... I feel foggy.
    Listening to a dissertation defense, then lunch, then an oral comprehensive exam.
    I'm finishing my second Trenta green tea now. And I still need a nap.

    Remember the Pearl Jam tickets I won the 10Club drawing for so I could get GA Pit seats at face value ($80-something/each)?

    Well the tickets for everyone else went on sale today. Sold out in an hour. Nosebleeds in the 500 level are going for $300-400. Mediocre seats in the 100-200 levels are going for $500-800. Seats for the sections BEHIND mine on the field are going for close to $2000.

    I'm in "Field GA". Right in front of stage center.
    I wonder what those tickets they are asking $4-25k for will REALLY sell for.


    I just called and told my brother if he backs out and screws me out of selling his ticket for a couple grand that I will kill him!!

    Here's the catch. 10Club (PJ fan club through which I got those seats) kicks you out forever if they catch you reselling your seats for a profit.

    If I knew for a fact I could actually get $4-5k/seat for my tickets I would sell them and buy decent seats in the 100 level for $5-700/each and pocket the $7-9k in a heartbeat. But it's hard to tell if they will really sell for that AND you won't get caught and kicked out of 10Club (they apparently do find ways to enforce this by setting up "fake buys" with seats they know came from 10Club originally. That's not a huge deal IF it came with the $7-9k attached. But they do a lot to ensure you can't sell them easily. I can't get the tickets until the day of the show at will call, with ID. So no one is going to pay you the $8-10k without the tickets in hand. I don't want to risk the person I'm meeting being a 10Club person who busts me, takes my tickets back, doesn't give me the money, and I lose my membership/seniority in 10Club. And the 10Club is a fairly decent perk to keep. EVERY single show I've tried to get tickets for, I've been able to get them for face value because I'm a 10Club member. I paid $80-some each for these tickets, which is insane considering what they are going for, and I've had at least "pretty good" to "very good" seats for every other concert. And now that I've been a member for probably 8-9 years, I have ok seniority too.
