Hiya! My name’s Matt.  You’ve stumbled onto my little patch of the internet where I dump all of the things rattling around inside of my head.  So pull up a chair and take a load off.

&lt;p&gt;You know when you learn a new word and suddenly other people start using the word or it turns up in conversations you overhear?  Yeah, that happens to me a lot.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So lately it’s been happening to me with a particular video game.  Yeah, I’m a huge geek.  I’ll fly that flag proudly.  Recently, a couple friends of gotten to me to join the “online sensation” (South Park reference…anyone?!) &lt;a href="http://www.worldofwarcraft.com"&gt;World of Warcraft&lt;/a&gt;.  Now I’ve only been playing about a week but I’ve overheard one conversation in Starbucks about the game and I saw a woman playing it in Panera.  Before this week, the only time I’ve heard or seen mention of the game is when I’m partaking in games related media.  Alas, it appears the Universe has struck again.  Ok, it’s probably just that I’m more aware of the subject now.  But I prefer to think it’s some mysterious force.  It’s just more fun that way.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh, and as a side note, if you enjoy South Park and have even the slightest predilection towards gaming, you NEED to see the Emmy award-winning &lt;a href="http://www.southparkstudios.com"&gt;“Make Love Not Warcraft”&lt;/a&gt; episode.  Pure Genius!&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://blog.mattaldridge.net/post/52309923</link><guid>http://blog.mattaldridge.net/post/52309923</guid><pubDate>Mon, 29 Sep 2008 13:48:00 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>"Cats’ lower jaws can’t move sideways.
