like writing questions in a letter: Catching Up
http://matthew823.blogspot.com/2007/12/catching-up.html
Like writing questions in a letter. Friday, December 28, 2007. From Trish, and way late considering that this was probably supposed to be Halloween-themed. Oh well. The rules are that you Bold. Those you’ve seen. Movies you have started but couldn’t finish. Add an asterisk* to those you have watched more than once. I read the book and loved it long before I ever saw the movie. As such, the first time I saw the movie I was unhappy. But i got over it. This is a 100% classic. The Silence of the Lambs. Again...

Like writing questions in a letter. Thursday, July 03, 2008. Catching up on some stuff. I now have a .Mac page with photo albums. Link here. And on the sidebar. Has links to the library of our DVDs. We'll let you borrow, but a credit check is required. Also note the link to my LibraryThing. Catalog of books (it's a lot more fun if you choose to view by 'Covers' instead of 'List'). Borrower cards for the library are free but late fees can be hefty. And you can watch it, read it, or download an mp3. Subscr...

Like writing questions in a letter. Tuesday, August 19, 2008. LeRoi Moore, 1961-2008. 8220;Every day should be a good day to die.”. That’s maybe my favorite Dave Matthews lyric. Not because it’s such a unique sentiment, or because it’s especially poetic, or delivered with any kind of special grace or intensity. It’s none of those. But it is, to a great extent, what I think of as the overarching theme of nearly all the music he has written. It’s not as deliberately carpe diem. Given all that, today’...

Like writing questions in a letter. Monday, June 30, 2008. I wanna be . I don’t know exactly when, but the idea has been kicking around my head for a long time. I remember talking to Romi about it (I was probably trying to convert her into being a Gabriel fan) and the last time I saw her was 2001. But that’s a huge part of what made it such an appealing cover tune. But, Saturday night, it happened. And they rocked it. Even better than I’d always imagined. Like, say, the Mile High Music Festival?

http://matthew823.blogspot.com/2008/05/self-congratulatory-moment.html
Like writing questions in a letter. Saturday, May 17, 2008. I did something today I’ve never done before, which by the time you’re an adult isn’t something you can say every day. Actually, what I did today was do something better than I ever had before: I played golf with a couple friends from work, and shot a lower score than I ever have before. So, to celebrate and because I now you really care, here’s a lost of the 5 best rounds of golf I’ve ever played. 8221; That’s about right. Everything ...

Like writing questions in a letter. Thursday, January 24, 2008. I'm in the wrong field. I am so sick of “news” stories about GoDaddy and their “travails” in getting a Super Bowl ad approved. Does anyone really consider this news? Actually, here’s a better question: Was this ever news? This is an annual tradition since 2005. I hardly think it was newsworthy then, but at this point it’s an annual publicity stunt and nothing more. UPDATE] The old headline is still in the archive. Thursday, January 17, 2008.

Like writing questions in a letter. Wednesday, December 10, 2008. Song for the Missing. Stewart O’Nan’s Songs for the Missing. Is maybe the saddest book I’ve ever read. I mean that as a compliment. It’s not easy to write about sad, just like it’s not easy to write funny. But O’Nan is an expert at writing heartbreaking books. I mean that as a compliment, too, though I know saying that most of his books are sad isn’t exactly a great way to recommend him. In Songs for the Missing. O’Nan is not a compl...
