Lately I’ve not been spending my time on the computer, which is a nice change of pace. With Amanda being off school, it’s been able to afford us to spend our time together playing Xbox or watching the plenty o’ DVDs we got over the holidays. Apparently, we’re done with winter and gone straight to spring already. Thunderstorms and lightning with rain and no sun for a week. What a way to ring in 2006. Sidebar. → Read more...
Alright, I suppose I should update. I have so many things to write about, but no time right now. How about I just list a few things that I’ll expand on later. Think of this as an appetizer. – Saw King Kong.– Went to Indianapolis to see the Lord of the Rings exhibit they had there.– Had a good Christmas with friends, family, and Amanda.– Proud new owner of an Xbox. → Read more...
I’ve always believed that God gives us things that we’re not going to immediately use because they’re meant for a future event. (One of the advantages of being omniscient and omnipotent.) It can something that you stored away for years and forgot about it and one day stumble upon and it gives just exactly what you needed for that day. I believe written thoughts and ideas and, yes, journal entries fit in that category. Sometimes something that your past self wrote is just what you need to remind your present self something. → Read more...
Amanda and I went to see Chronicles of Narnia last night at the AMC theater downtown on Illinois and Columbus, right by Navy Pier. The movie was fantastic and faithful to the book. So faithful that my girlfriend would tense up if a scene looked like it was about to deviate from the book but then relax and nod and smile upon seeing it play out like she had imagined. It was great seeing someone who really knew the source material (I had only read the book once) enjoy the movie. → Read more...
Alright, it didn’t snow on Dec. 3 when I made that Xanga post, but I can safely say it’s SNOWING now. This makes for a happy Matt. Now, Happy Matt only exists when he’s somewhere safe and watching the snow. When Happy Matt gets in his car and drives, he becomes Nervous Matt and Nervous Matt was out in full force when he drove his girlfriend to her job. What was normally a 5-7 minute drive turned into a horrendous 25 minute drive complete with spinning tires, huge snowplows, idiot teenage drivers, frozen windshield wipers, and a lot of praying. → Read more...

Matt
I’m still alive! I just haven’t felt like posting lately. There really hasn’t been any new developments in my life (still grasping for jobs, filling out apps, etc.) with one major exception. Today, or rather, yesterday if we’re going by the “day ends at midnight” thing, was the ten month anniversary of Amanda and I dating. I’m discovering as time has been going by, it seems like it’s picking up speed with each day. And at the same time, it’s plodding along like always. → Read more...
