Firstly I went to Nicaragua with my family for the week+ between Christmas and New Years. It was an amazing trip. We stayed in a little cabin perched atop a ridge overlooking a beautiful beach. The little thatch hut-thing seen in the photos on the top contains two hammocks and the view from the hammocks was amazing.

Thanks to the folks at Vorizorn I am now super speedy in all net activities. Woohoo for DSL. Now I can remove the horror that is AOL from my machine.

In Fact I plan to be at Sam and Adan's this week if there is a gethering there. If not I will go to Sci Fi.

Basicaly this has been because of a large project I have been working on at my house here in lovely weehawken. In a word: Stripping.

She said "Having a good last day?" I said, "No My last day is friday." She said, "No today is the fifteenth. Its what we agreed on before." Me: "Oh, yeah."

To preface I have to go back to Friday: Last week they didn't have a paycheck for me at my job as a student worker at NYU. I found out that this was because I had forgotten to register myself as a student worker for the semester. So I went to the career office to get my form, and I found out I can't work until I'm registered with the university.Matthewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08213057594232120397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216846.post-1063895732832923432003-09-18T10:35:00.000-04:002003-09-18T10:35:32.680-04:00I'm very excited about somehting I just read on popcultureshock.com (the link goes to the news.

NYU's library is basically a huge atrium going up 12 floors with the stacks and rooms and such surrounding it. The other day a kid jumped from the tenth floor. I didn't know the kid and I didn't see the event, but its weird to think about it, because occasionally I have to deliver stuff to the twelfth floor (the Presidents Matthewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08213057594232120397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216846.post-1063377509109312212003-09-12T10:34:00.000-04:002003-09-12T10:43:49.026-04:00A Six Degree Experiment for 9/11
Its already a day late, and even though this blog is free, a dollar short, but I was wondering, in the spirit of the weird unity that took this city over after 9/11 if you could help this chick, a great writer named Sarah Bunting, find the guy who helped her out in the chaos.

I had a couple fantastic quotes I was going to post, but being the idiot that I am I forgot to write them down, but here's one I did remember to write down (about a month ago; I just forgot to post it) from a hilarious book called the Hipster Handbook.

Suffolk County and the Town of Riverhead have both said no, and there is already legal strife.

It was a fun little ceremony and I got to meet some of Dan's friend that I had not yet met. following that on sunday, after a saturday full of anxious preparation by her parents, myself and Dan, we had a party forMatthewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08213057594232120397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216846.post-946981332003-05-21T14:47:00.000-04:002003-05-21T14:47:25.570-04:00My new name is Lord of Deviant Sexual Practices, Perky-L'il Makido Kuroga XIII

This does explain the plots general shape, but this framework, while pretty ingenious if true, could have been handled better.

Firstly, and most importantly, yesterday was Dan and My Anniversary. 365 days of the wonderfullness that is my girlfriend.
Also I saw the Matrix Reloaded. I will do my best not to reveal any sort of plot details of the movie in this paragraph, but I make no promises. I must admit, I was dissapointed.

PopCulturShock is a site devoted to those sorts of things that make many women think their full-grown boyfirnds call them immature: Games, Comics and Movies (ok so movies aren't immature, but...). They have a pretty cool section in which they post the first 4 pages of a bunch of comics that will be coming out in the next week.Matthewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08213057594232120397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216846.post-929827072003-04-21T10:16:00.000-04:002003-04-21T10:26:51.000-04:00In other news, Dan and I have, after a short period of beleiving it impossible, gotten tickets to Field Day. I am extraordinarily excited. I also had a very lovely weekend at Dan's place. Dan's Aunt Joann (sp?) had a lovely Easter Lunch which provided me with the current makings of a delicious lunch.

Here's whats gone down. Mailed out my tax return, expecting about $400 from the Gub'mint later. Dan and I are looking into a two-day Festival concert that coming up in June called Field Day. Tons of amazing bands will be there Including Radiohead, Beck, N.E.R.D., The Beastie Boys and Sigur Ros.

It was fun and exhausting. The next morning after 15.5 hours of running all over both buildings, it felt like someone had sealed me in an old oil drum and rolled me down a rocky slope. Ibuprofin is a gift from the gods. Things otherwise aren't going too well. I have been slacking off in major ways in my life.

It was a secondarty interview, which means they already liked me and were having trouble chosing. I put it in my palm and then my palms batteries daied. I was like, "Its ok, I know the appointment is at 3:00."
It was a 1:30.
So I showed up late and was real sorry and they rescheduled it to this morning at 10:30. You can bet I was on time for this one.Matthewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08213057594232120397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216846.post-919232802003-04-03T12:00:00.000-05:002003-04-03T12:00:09.076-05:00OK so I know my fanbase is currently two people or whatever, but If you could click this link whenever you come here I would apreciete it.
