The Cackling Rooster

For reasons that I can’t explain Gretchen recorded like 5 episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation last Friday night, including an episode in which the crew de-evolves into animals (and Picard starts to act a bit like a Lemur) and the final episode in which Picard exists in like 3 time periods at once [...]

Big Saturday

This week, for some reason I started putting TV on the Radio’s “Return to Cookie Mountain” on heavy rotation both at home and at work, this was an album that I didn’t real care for when it came out a couple of years ago, even though it was getting a lot of praise and I’d [...]

Comic Books!

When I was a kid, I didn’t really collect comic books, I would come across them from time to time and buy them, but as far as those kinds of things go, I was more interested in Mad magazine. I loved super hero cartoons, and the Batman TV show for sure, but comics didn’t stoke [...]

Greatest Birthday Ever

On a whim, I decided to take my birthday off of work (it’s a Monday) and since I am doing that I decided that I am going to try and have the the best Matt-Day of all time. Here is what a rough draft itinerary is looking like.
8:30am: Wake up, Shave and Shower and pet [...]

Another short thought

Sometimes when I’m sitting around thinking of ideas, I think about the movie Rushmore, where Jason Schwartzman’s character starts spouting off ideas and his assistant, Dirk Calloway jots them down seemingly to get the ball rolling on said ideas.
Anyway, yesterday I registered the domain name coffeeandpieindustries.com. I wish Dirk were here now.
Edit: So if I [...]

Crikey!

So it appears that the ice cream social will be delayed somewhat as Gretchen is going to playing monger at this week’s Cheese Festival at Pike Place Market. I’m thinking of doing some kind of memorial weekend thing instead, but that largely depends on what what happens with the Sasquatch Festival. We might go on [...]

Bring It To Me!

Hey! I’m moving tomorrow. Sounds like fun, eh?
Anyway, I dropped off a small bit of things at the new place (The Night Train Hotel? ) I guess to mark the territory a bit (and to pick up my mail, which I started forwarding yesterday) and I found out that A. I had free Internet and [...]

Entering the Dead Zone

 
After tomorrow I am entering a 5 day period I’m going to call (very ominously, I might add) “””The Dead Zone”””. Both my internet connection and my parking space are expiring at that time, so I’ll be driving around the city for the entirety of the weekend and early next week searching for free Internet [...]

Your Currency

I realized this morning whilst tying my shoes and apologizing to the cat, that I can definitely obsess about things with the best of them, you can probably travel back through old blogs and find old obsessions that I acquired, researched copiously, took notes on, wrote plans about, purchased equipment for, and then abandoned. This [...]

A Late November Post of some sort

Fuck.
I think the good part of fall has passed me by somehow and I feel a little bit cheated (I think).
For reasons that may someday be more apparent to me (I hope), Gretchen came over to my apartment and then asked if maybe I could go to the movies or something so she could be [...]
