Amazing Adventures of Matt & Essert

Jock Art

It was recently brought to my attention that these pictures exist. You can read all about them and see more of them here and while the link lasts, here. But, the gist is that there were taken by Andy Warhol and are very ace. Here are my favorites…

The Gates

Yesterday, Jeanne-Claude died at the age of 74. This may not seem like the kind of thing I would blog about. However, her and her husband, Christo, were seriously bad-assed artists who dies some pretty ace stuff. Most of their projects were very large scale things, and were all very cool (you can read about them on that same wikipedia page).

In 2005, they did The Gates. The artists installed 7,503 orange gates along 23 miles of pathways in Central Park in New York City. I remember seeing them… it was very awesome… it was very ace.

Hey, look at this… he’s actually going to write something.

This past weekend was the first annual CBCO, Chris’ Birthday Cook Off. It was by brother Chris’ 30th birthday celebration and it was a cook off party. Everyone made either apple pie or lasagna. Well, everyone except me. My sister Emily and I made apple lasagna…. I know right, so ace. It could have turned out terribly, but it was actually relatively good. In fact, it was relatively good enough that we won the award for people’s choice. Everyone at the party, about 25 people, tasted every pie and lasagna and gave them all scores. Our apple lasagna was the most popular in the pie category. I now have a trophy. Not many people can say they have won a cooking award, but I’m not many people - in fact I am only one people, or rather one person, scientifically I am only one human being.

Another thing to note is the sweetness of train travel. We took the train from Montreal to Toronto on friday and are now on it going back to Montreal. The train I am on now is especially awesome. Very luxurious. You might remember that I have discussed the aceness of train travel before on this blog and it blogspot predecessor, so I will not go into it now, but believe you me: it’s ace.

Perhaps I will try to write more posts for this blog. Lord knows I have plenty of stupid things to write about, but I’m just so busy - well, let me rephrase that, I’m not busy.

Lastly, Creed’s 20 seconds in this past week’s episode of The Office… FTMFW
