Ok, I’ll be brief. It’s 9:30 Monday night. I have to pack. We’re leaving at 8am. I’ve just learned that on Friday, I’ll be house sitting. This was an obligation that I didn’t know I’d have. BUT, I will make a few bucks. Which is good. Unfortunatly, there are two downsides. First, I’m sorry Chris, but I won’t be able to see Collins on Friday night. Digweed is still in of course. AND I won’t have complete access to an internet connection for the whole time. I will check in at least once a week. But it won’t be regular until a week or so after thanksgiving. But, this does mean we’ll have a close by location to go to on Saturday night/Sunday morning before Chris flys out. Anyway. I’ve gotta run. I’ll be home soon… and after thanksgiving I’ll be house sitting for about a week. I’ll have my cell phone. Call me and stop by to visit. I’ll be bored. Ok. Later.

Hey there kids. It’s Sunday,

by | Nov 18, 2001 | Imported Entry

Hey there kids. It’s Sunday, which means there’s only 2 more days until I leave. Well, give or take a few hours. Here’s the run down. Tomorrow, I have class until 2ish, then I immediatly head to the airport to pick up my Dad who’s flying in at 2:30. Then we’ll probably come back here, change the busted headlight in my car and relax for a little bit. Lauren’s coming over after that and we’ll all make some dinner. Then it’s packing time. Tuesday, probably mid-morning, we’ll leave for home. We’ll drive all day Tuesday and get as far up the coast as we can. Wednesday we’ll get up and finish the drive. Usually, if we don’t hit bad traffic, we get home around dinner time on Wednesday. Thursday’s Thanksgiving and you know the rest. So, there ya go, that’s the driving schedule.

I don’t know when I’ll be packing up the ‘puter tomorrow so I’m not sure if I’ll update again. But, you know me, if I don’t, I will as soon as I get home. So, I should probably take a minute to say a few things, for all my Savannah peeps.

Lauren, I love you, so very much, it’ll only be 20 days, then I’ll be in CO with you and we’ll be skiing. Huzah! It’ll be fun, trust me.

Jason & Pete, it’s been a great 3 months and it’ll be a great year and a half after this I’m sure. I appologize for being anal about keeping everything picked up… wait, no I don’t. Clean your shit up!!! Hehe. But really, for all the bitching and moaning I do, it’s all just blowing off steam, you guys are great roommates.

Nagle & Sean, it’s been fun. Thanks for the movies, I really appreciate it. Now if only you’d get an apartment, or at least a car, we’d all be visiting more often :-p

The photo kids, have fun, I’ll see ya in Studio. If someone checks out my RB-30, heads will roll!

I guess that’s it. All you crazy NH kids, hold on to your hats, Matt’s coming back to town. Later. (And maybe more from the road if you’re lucky)

Current Mood: Jazzed about leaving Savannah, Bumed about leaving Lauren.

Three things: First. I went

by | Nov 17, 2001 | Imported Entry

Three things:

First. I went to see “The Heist” with Nagle this afternoon. Awesome flick. I was still broke, but Nagle said he’d cover me. And that was cool of him. Thanks Nagle. The movie was pretty bad ass. It was directed by David Mamet, who’s known for his “twists” and bizare, choppy dialog. The film follows a number of crooks, played tremendously by Gene Hackman, Danny DeVito, Delroy Lindo and Ricky Jay, who are trying to get away with “a heist” (duh). The ending, which you think is happening about halfway through the movie, has more twists than the massacusettes shore line. Which, coinsedently, the movie was shot on. I kept laughing every time I saw a Mass State Trooper, blue squad car and all, trying to find Hackman. Anyway, the movie is definatly worth seeing, but remember to pay attention. If you miss bits of dialog, you’ll be lost completely and have to see it again.

Secondly. I’m not going to rush to judgments, because maybe Chris can explain this to me… BUT WINDOWS DELETED MY PVD!!! I kid you not. I start up the machine about 2 minutes ago to type this very post and I get the usually Win2K black screen, you know, the one you get when you shut the system down wrong and it wants to run ScanDisk. Well, this one wasn’t running ScanDisk. It wanted to run a “check”. That was it, no explanations. So, I immediately thought “Virus!” and shut it off. I started the computer again to see if I could get it into safe mode and figure out what the hell it was doing. This time it went immediately into its “check”. I got worried. Then it started listing off files that it was deleting. Now I’m in a complete panic. It didn’t delete anything useful though and I couldn’t stop it. I kept saying that I needed to do it because it wanted to check what was there against what it though should be there. So, it finishes, the Win2k logo pops up, then the logon, then the desktop. I open my eyes. I quickly check everything I can to make sure nothing horrible has happened. I can’t find anything. Then, I remember the files that it was listing off and immediately check my MP3 folder. Yup, sure enough, everything was there except the 2 PVD concerts I downloaded a few days ago. WTF??? Someone better tell me what just happened. Cause if my computer starts deleting techno, it’s going out the window.

Thirdly, and if that wasn’t enough, I got trounced in my Civ III game. Sure, it’s completely meaningless and has nothing to do with real life, but the computer kicked my ass and I’m pissed about it. If any of you have played RISK or any of the Civ games, then you’ll know what I’m talking about. See, I was doing fine, had a nice little country going. Then the other countries started demanding that I give them things. For no reason other than they wanted them. At one point, the Greeks wanted “Mathematics”, “Physics”, “Nationalism” and 250 gold, AS A GIFT!! Of course I said no. Next thing I know, Greece, Japan, Egypt AND Indian have all signed a treaty and are trying to kick my ass. That’s the WHOLE CONTINENT against me, for those of you who are keeping score. Needless to say, I lost bad. Maybe when I get home I’ll give it another shot, since obviously, that attempt didn’t go so well. Poop.

Oh well. As for tonight, I’m not quite sure what we’re doing, but Lauren’s coming over any minute and we’ll have some dinner. After that, who knows. We’ll think up something. Ok, gotta run, I’ve got to re-download some PVD. Later.

Ah, max’in and relax’in, it’s

by | Nov 17, 2001 | Imported Entry

Ah, max’in and relax’in, it’s what I’m good at. Last night was more of the same fun. Lauren brought over a pizza from a place we hadn’t tired and the movie “Pollock”. The pizza was ok, but the movie was pretty good. It’s not a “happy” movie so I wouldn’t watch it if you’re looking for laughs. But if you’re interested in the artist Jackson Pollock or you like really good acting on the part of Ed Harris, then check it out. We also made homemade ChexMix durring the movie, enough to keep us in snack mix for at least a few days. I think the idea was to have enough to make the drive(s) home with. Mmm, tasty. Oh, and I also got my photos into the frames. The only thing left to do is print my digital thing and that would only take a moment. I think I might toy around with a few other ideas as well and maybe try and out-do myself.

As for today, Lauren’s gone shopping with the girls up in SC and I’m just hanging out. I’m supposed to do something with Nagle this afternoon, but he just found out that he has to work the front desk (he’s an RA) from 12:30-2, so I don’t quite know what we’ll be able to do. Lauren’s coming home soon after that and I wanted to have dinner with her. So that leaves me a scant few hours to hang out with my bud. Oh well, I suppose I’ll figure out something to do between now and then.

In other news, Chris is on his way home for turkey, family, and his new shinney X-box. He’d better let me play it when I get up there. Speaking of “playing” I’m not sure if I’ll be able to go to the Sandra Collins show with him. Nothing will stand in my way for Sasha and Digweed, but a visit from the grand parents might prevent me from seeing Sandra Collins. Dunno. We’ll see. But I’ll do my best to wiggle out of it.

Chris is also apparently loaded and is making me quite gelous. His damn high paying techie jobs give him to much disposable cash. Nah. I’m just pokin’ at him. I will be gelous if he gets a new Jeep, a new PC and a DJ turntable set all in the same sentence. Then I’ll have to drive to VT just to kick his ass and steal his stuff. Hehehe.

Random:

I’m sorry, a DBZ HalfLife MOD is the lamest thing possible. I don’t understand how anyone could like or follow that show and making a game out of it is just simply stupid. Yet I link it anyway. Odd.

Want some random release dates for bands that you might not have heard of? Right Here.

Thats about it. Nothing interesting goin’ on in the world of the web today. Later.
