About Me

Matt
Old blog I started prior to rampant Facebooking, parenting, and life interfering with the updates. I keep it around mostly to post stuff about books, albums, and films I've seen so I can remember (my memory is for shit) -- and sometimes laugh about old observations that just aren't me anymore.
