One more week and then off for 10 days on vacation. I can't even remember the last time I had real time off like this, it has to be many years.
Going to a nice small party tonight with a couple of bands playing including my friend Stan, should be a good time.

Well holy crap I was hungover this morning but took care of it early, thank you Excedrin, and now I am cleaning house.
Thanks to all who made it to the BBQ for being gracious guests and not breaking anything.
Stan just left, how cool is it having a great singer songwriter play your house whenever you want!
I think I found a new favorite...

Gonna loose all my indie cred on this one but I do like the new coldplay, well some of it. I have had it for a couple weeks and it is catchy as hell.
I usually cringe away from popular bands but I had heard snippets from the new album on the idiot box. So I went out and found it online and yeah, it's...

I've been looking forward to the new Coldplay actually.. I've hated all their old stuff.. But, jesus, the new single is really catchy.
hansel:
Strangely, I still haven't cracked into The New Year album. I love Transaction De Novo, would love to have it on my expanding vinyl collection. Go, Mom, go. wink

Freaking crazy short week!
We bought a new grill last night which I am very happy with: http://imagex.homedepot.com/f/248/13340/7d/www.homedepot.com/cmc_upload/HDUS/EN_US/asset/images/eplus/077924056253_4.jpg
We had to take it out of the box in the parking lot to fit it into the car which was entertaining to those around us. While trying to fit the thing we had 3 people ask where we lived to offer us help to bring it...

Nice long weekend though I did have to drive allot. I picked up El on Saturday in Seattle then Babyblue was nice enough to do the journey with me to return him on Monday.
It was a wonderful visit, even got to a local park(protected marshland) for a nice walk.
My brother screened the new Minutemen documentary for me called "We jam econo" which was...

One of my favorite torrent sites got shut down today: http://elitetorrents.org/
I have the boy for the weekend which is nice though I was hoping to train but I procrastinated and now there are no tickets left for the trains I want.
Getting allot of work done this week.

They're cracking down on torrent sites faster than soemthing really fast.

Another week going by quickly.
I am stuck on an issue at work that is bugging me. It doesn't usually take me more than a couple hours to fix most any issue. This one has been a couple of days. I know I am definitely in the wrong job if I want immediate gratification, but it bugs me none the less.
I got a mattress...

I took your advice about that track. I wrote a third part to the idea that tries to release the tension build up you noted.. It even has proper vocals. Mikael helped me work out the music.I just need a decent singer to tackle it.. The demo has me singing.. and ugh. Just won't do. surreal

Quite the long week, I am glad it is over with.
Saw a blue heron at the park a couple of nights ago and it was beautiful, never seen one before.
Is the nice weather ever going to get here?
hypnogogic:
I used to live in Oak Grove. My house sat between a lake and the Willamette river. The lake was home to many Blue Heron. You don't know how big the are until you get really close up and realize that they are as big as you are. It's kinda scary.
hansel:
What are you talking about? It's beautiful outside.

Been a while should update.
Hooked up another client with a sonicwall, so now I have another customer I can work from home to fix.
I like this working from home but I really need to remain more active than I have been. It is starting to catch up with me sitting on my ass all day.
So the band of the week that I...

Yo man, I am back on the scene. Sorry I missed you guys last night, but I'll be around pretty frequently now.

I also have to ask your advice about computer shenanigans. I seem to have a virus that prevents me from installing my copy of Norton 2005. Any thoughts?
hansel:
Yawn. What are you guys up to? We should have a BBQ sometime. I had this idea of having a BBQ at my house.

Now I realize I have an apartment and it's impossible to have a conventional BBQ.

My idea: We blow the electricity in my building. I'm imagnining a make-shift table holding lots and lots of foreman grills. A total Bring Your Own Foreman Grill BBQ. And food. Lots of food on paper plates.

Going to be a busy weekend but in a good way.
My son is off to Germany in the morning, I am sure he will have a great time.
