Marsha basically banned me today.  Called me and gave me every excuse to stay home so I took it.  You can tell when somebody doesn't want you.    Not sure if I will work the sale tomorrow or not.  I always like doing that but it's a long day.

I’ve kinda moved past the idea that there will ever be a new album.
As fans we’ll never understand how some bands put out new music every year or two and GNR can tour for eight years and not get 10 tracks together for a record. Hell, that last Rolling Stones album was awesome!

Instead they all go do their side projects that no one outside the die hards care about. Sorry, but even if I like some of Slash’s and Duff’s solo work, there is a part of me that resents it. They’re putting their efforts into this stuff rather than GNR. And Axl, a true legend in every sense of the word, but it’s like the guy is allergic to recording studios. Yeah we’ve got four reworked songs released over the past eight years. That’s one song every two years.

They’re just gonna do whatever, who gives a shit if the fans want to hear what they come up with. That’s fine, I hope they are happy with their legacy and their lives. Every song that gets leaked or released is a gift we cherish. But I just don’t think we’ll ever see an album from them. Who knows if they are even capable of making one together?  Yeah I’d love it more than my dog if they put one out, but they don’t seem interested in it. And that’s OK.

Not more than the dog!

I've been listening to Dark Matter all week, and I think it's Pearl Jam's best album since No Code. I wasn't too thrilled with Gigatron,'so my expectations were low, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed Dark Matter.

Eddie Vedder's solo album a few years ago, along with Dark Matter, has given Pearl Jam a fresh and modern sound. Andrew Watt's production brought a new level of energy to the band.

Some of my favorite tracks are Wreckage, Won't Tell, Upper Hand, and Got to Give.

Yes, there's no replicating albums like 'Ten' or 'Vs.'—we all know that, and so do they. Some of their late '90s and early 2000s albums sounded repetitive and boring, but it's been great watching them evolve over the years.

On a side note, one could only wish Guns N' Roses had... well, you know....

Public plant sale this weekend and I'm sick with a cold.  Not sure if I'm going.  Don't want to give it to Marsha plus I'm sick.  They plan to destroy all the leftover plants after the sale to get back their soil and pots to re use.  In the past we have tried to find them homes.  Has a lot of people in an uproar.  Marsha's call and I'm staying out of it.  Part of being in charge, deal with your staff when most of them disagree with what you're doing.  Donna told me she would give me back the milkweed I donated to them that doesn't sell but they are going to bare root them.  That will probably kill them but it gets my message across that I am not growing stuff for you next year only to have you kill it if it doesn't sell.  I'll grow their stuff for them but I'll keep my stuff and give it away.

It's an old fracture that has healed but is causing him pain when the weather acts up or he strains it.  He did well with them.  He didn't even bitch about riding in the car.  Brought him back home and he hung out on the back porch for a bit.  I elected not to have him fixed because he would have had to stay inside for a week.  Not that I wouldn't have done that for him but he would have went crazy trying to get out of the house the whole time.  And imo, it takes a certain amount of balls to survive in the wild.  He needs all the testosterone he can get.  I'll see if he still comes around me after this.

Slash and the boys played Perfect Crime for the first time in Budapest. Todd did a great job on this as well.

How long before we get to hear Garden of Eden? That would be awesome.

In the meantime here's Perfect Crime

  Thanks, it sounded very good 

I caught Little Boy.  He couldn't even put weight on his paw.  He came up during the day to eat and I rear ended him into the cat carrier.  First time I've heard him talk outside of his I'm going to kick your ass scream to another cat.  How many times did I say feral cat yet the vet tech took him out of the krate.  He wasn't going back in but didn't tear her up either.  They had to wrap him in a towel to take him to the box where they gas him so they can examine him.  I left him up there to be worked into the schedule.  I don't even want to guess at what this is going to cost.  Somebody needs to help him and I guess that is me.

To be honest, I don't know. I just don't jump to conclusions without any evidence other than "There must be a reason".

Agreed, although in a way, whenever someone does something isn't there always a reason, no matter how small right? 

But, I get what you mean.

Heck, he might have realized the URL was available and thought....shit, I need to scoop that up before someone else does and then posts stupid shit about me.

(Political opponents do this all the time to each other - getting the URL's to their opponents' names, etc.)

Personally, I think he got bored one day and said . . . fuck it. I'm gonna make a website. Why not?

Or maybe, like others, he is leaving twitter (even tho he's not that active on it) and this gives him a new/different outlet to give shout outs or wish someone a happy birthday or whatever.

But, again, I do agree. I don't think it's worth thinking too deeply into it. It is what it is. He made a website. People do it all the time.

Something is wrong.  Marsha's doctor wants her to do 5 days, for 2 weeks of chemo.  They are still running tests.  We're chatting in passing because we are busy with the plant sale so she can say something quick otherwise I'm pretty sure she'd be crying if she tried to say more.
