The Fest
Well, I had no one to go with, so I made the trek to the Heritage Fest alone. Dan made good on his word to call me and said they’d be in the beer garden. After i grabbed something to eat from one of the booths, I went over and found him as he was [...]
Just plain wrong!

The Trigger
Have you ever noticed how music can be an instant trigger for memories? I don’t know if this happens to everyone or not but it sure is for me. Maybe it is because music has been such a big part of my life since I was 13 years old, but certain bands/songs will just trigger [...]
To purchase one’s own name!
It seems such an odd concept, buying your name, but that is what I just did. I now am the proud owner of vinikour.com. My dad has his own company called Vinikour Communications and I am actually half amazed that someone didnt’ talk him into buying that domain years ago. The first thing I did [...]
Ruffin’ it
You never realize how much you use a kitchen sink or counter tops until you don’t have any! It is gonna be a long couple of weeks until that stuff comes in. After I drove home in the usual crap traffic (during which a promised phone call never came), I spent nearly an hour cutting [...]
Ugh!
Ever have one of those days where nothing at all seems to go right? This morning before leaving for work, I had to spend 15 minutes on the phone with ATT to get my internet working again, when that was finally done, I had to go to the post office to mail out a bunch [...]
Back to the grind
Finally back at work. It felt like I was gone longer than the 4 day weekend I ended up having. It is super-deluxe hot out today and it was raining earlier. I hope I don’t have any record packages sitting on my front step getting rained on today. I really should either build a contraption [...]
A Monday I’d rather forget
Had to stay home from work again today so they could finish the cabinets in the kitchen. It looks awesome, but of course I still don’t have coutertops, a sink and my dishwasher isn’t hooked up. I’ll be without those for a couple weeks easy. My floors get installed the second week of July. I [...]
Sunday – the day of rest?
Went to the two shows last nite. The Puerto Rican parade was yesterday so Western Ave was just chaos. People driving up and down the street honking their horns and waving thier flags. It was an endless sea of cars. I was lucky enough to score a parking spot on my first pass. My trip [...]
Bored, hungry and tired
I’m home for the second day in a row while my kitchen construction continues. There isn’t a whole lot to do today and I’m still tired from waking up at such an ungodly hour on a saturday morning!. I need a nap and I have yet to eat lunch as I have nowhere to make [...]
Mail call
The mailwoman just dropped off some goodness to my house. I got The Identity Crisis 7″ that i just bought off of e-rape. This single feature Kim Thayil who later was in Soundgarden. I also got ALL 40 EPISODES OF ULTRAMAN on VHS. Yes! I used to watch Ultraman, Johnny Sokko and his Flying Robot, [...]
I have succumbed!
Well, I figure since a bunch of people I know are doing it, why not me. Thor pointed me in the right direction as i beleive he is a blog addict! I don’t know if anything I say here will be of any interest to anyone but what the hell. I’m home from work today [...]
