Sucker Punch

First on in the office, which mean I get to do my thing while blasting The Stone Roses and The Vaselines - Awesome.

Speaking of awesome, the trailer for Sucker Punch is out:

I've Been Robbed

Of seven centimeters that is.
I measured myself in the children's clinic today (because that's the sort of things I do!) only to realise that their wall mounted measuring instrument is way off when it comes to the old Metric scale. I have always (well not always, but at least the last ten years) sported a proud 177 cents. According to the hospital's piece of crap body ruler I am barely a measly 169. Not cool!
I tried to tell the nurses and get them as excited about the gross miscalculating situation as I was, but since they only wanted to ask me about Baby Sean and even gave me one of those squiggly wristbands in the shape of Wonder Woman I found it hard to stay on topic.
But then again, how can you not want to talk about anything but this:

I am at the moment getting myself acquainted with Sparklehorse, the American rock band. I am kicking myself a bit for not discovering them earlier, especially since the major member in the band produced albums for both A Camp and Dan Johnston.
For those of you that haven't heard Sparklehorse - It sounds like a mix of The Raveonettes and Sonic Youth with the Cheeriness of Magnetic Fields.

Working Stiff

Quarter past five and I am still in the office. I have initiated my plan to work 10-hour days four days a week, so I can have three whole day at home with the wife and son.
Revelation of the day: 4 hours of sleep and 10 hours of work makes Matt tired.

Welcome, Sean Padraig

This Monday Nikki and I had our son, Sean Padraig.

He is probably the cutest baby ever!

Fête du Canada!!

Today I thought it be appropriate to congratulate our neighbours in the North for being England's lapdogs for 143 years.

I did so by making my own sign to put on the office door.
