its Oct. 31



it's Kazuki's zombie day. a talented guitarist who died way too young, 9 years ago. one of my favorite guitarists and founding member of Raphael, who was an incredible band. every halloween i watch their last indies live DVD with some beers. but i will do that tonight because it is 8:53 in the morning...

the TV botched the first game

Game 1, Giants at Fighters from Sapporo Dome, silly TV.
oh how i would LOVE to watch it on the bigscreen on the comfort of the couch with beer in the fridge instead of a crappy little cooler with half melted ice. but i don't get this channel. *shakes fist at verizon*. so i will curl up in a blanket with my cooler, and my laptop and be content, cause its Fighters time baby.

Kamenashi Kazuya would not approve!

so suddenly i have decided to take up my old hobby of making my own alcohol. i stick to simple, wine and cider. grain and beer, too complicated.

the first time i ever tried to make my own, i did well, i made 3 gallons of hard cider, so i felt confident. but drinking that batch with friends led to me not paying attention to the next couple of gallon bottles fermenting. and one of them exploded (during a party) and hit the ceiling and sprayed anyone standing around in a sticky, stinky yeast mess.

so i had a shitload of grapes (ugh, my aunts and COSTCO) , and decided to start a yeast colony. my mashed grapes, added the sugar and yeast. i only got enough juice for a little over 1/3 of a gallon bottle. so tomorrow i will but some grape juice and add my little starter (that is happily bubbling away under my sink). it wont be the kind of wine i like to enjoy, but rahter the kind i just drink cause it does the job.

my cider is doing good though. if i remember clearly, it tastes like even sweeter apple-y Steel Reserve. which is funny because i used to bottle it in old 211 40 bottles.
