Well, we made it. Happy 2010.

Jeez.

Merry New Years' Day!  It's been 3 hours so far, and a pretty good three hours at that.  I'm looking forward to starting this decade off 1000000% better than the last decade, and it's been pretty much a hit so far.  I mean, 10 years ago, I was *almost* having an orgy (don't ask), but since that didn't happen, and what DID happen happened, I'm definitely happier with where I am than where I was.

Time to look forward and embrace what I have.  Time to reach for what I want.  Time for super cheesy-ness.  Fuck off, cynics.  I'm getting up early to make breakfast nachos for my guests.  First I have to grocery shop. Eff.

Sleep time!  Xoxo!

 

New Workbench

My BenchHere are some pictures of the bench that I just built in the garage. Along with the green screen and the Promptin' Cart, I've just about finished the re-vamp of the garage that I've been planning for like a year.  Go me.

Click below for pictures.

it's the Chrismas season!

Monday, 30 November 2009 09:36 Matt O

Hey there!

It's the Christmas season.  Dinner for 24 was great, and now it's time to move into Christmas time prep full-time.  I have yet to buy tickets home, but that'll happen this week.  I have no idea whether I'm going to NYC yet, but I'm doubting it somehow.  Just not seeming like it's in the cards for this holiday season.

Non-Thanksgiving-related weekend highlights:

  • Watched the RNRHOF concerts last night on HBO at Joel's house, and among the attendees were Charlie from the Counting Crows and Tal who's on bass for Jeff Beck. She didn't accept my friend request on Fb, though.
  • took a couple of pics for my tattoo book this weekend - go me.  I really like taking pictures.  Time to schedule another shoot or two.
  • started building my workbench. i indend to finish today and start on the Prompter area organizer.  I'll get the garage done if it kills me.

That's it for now.  I really have to do pictures today, too.  Effin' pictures.

edit:
A couple of CNN Heroes pix after the break.

Thanksgiving's almsost here!

Wednesday, 25 November 2009 08:39 Matt O

Yay!

I'm cooking for 24, and I'm nervous!  Two turkeys at a time in the oven might affect its cooking time, which could be problematic. I'm not sure how I'll fit everything that needs to cook before and after the turkey is cooking... I need to get my shit together and come up with a plan, man, a plan.

Anyway, today is all logistics, putting tables together, setting places, finding the right balance of crazy and not-crazy....  I'm not even sure I have enough silverware.  Jeez.

Anyway, I wish all of you guys were coming here, too, although I don't know where you'd sit, honestly.  Fun times. Keep your fingers crossed that I can get set up and then cleaned up without going too insane, and that things go generally well.

Happy Thanksgiving.  See you on the other side.

 

Gavrieli to the rescue!

When you need plexiglass in LA and you don't drive a full-size truck, you're going to have some trouble.  There are places that will deliver to businesses and there are places that will deliver for any order of $250 or more, but there aren't any places that deliver a single piece (or even two pieces) of plexiglass.

Until Gavrieli Plastics.  I'm withholding full judgement until the delivery is complete, but their plexi prices were competitive and the delivery charge was high (at $60!), but not as high as a place that quoted me "$90 or so" when I asked if there were any non-commercial options.

Anyway, in case you were interested in how I (re-)found Gavreli, I searched Clapboard.  Honestly.  I had exhausted fuckin' Google searching for things like "plexiglass 90068" and "plexiglass San Fernando Valley" - it was a full-on Google fail.  But here we are.  I had to look in the code because the old site wasn't translated exactly perfectly (an href had somehow become a comment...), but that's okay - there was a telltale gap in the story (that I'm going to restore RIGHT NOW) and I checked the code and bang.  Gold.

That is all for now.  Plexi on Monday.  More code right now, then cooking later.  Fun fuckin' times.  Thanksgiving is coming and that table won't collage itself.
