I’ve known about the Production Manager on IMDB for a while, and I assumed he lives in Los Angeles. However, there is a THIRD Matthew Hirsch in L.A. according to Facebook! He’s in college apparently.

Hmm, I wonder if he was the one that the DMV thought looked like me when I first moved down here and tried to get a license.

At work I go by Matthew so as not to be confused with the other Matt at the store.

Professionally I guess I’ll have to remember to go by my full name. At least Ray is quick to write and easy to say. I don’t like the way “Matthew R. Hirsch” sounds. It interrupts the flow of the name and also sounds like I’m speaking poor english.

You’d think having the domain name with my name would bring me up higher on google ranking, but I get beat by the lawyer in PA and the Physics guy in MA.

A while ago I went through all my files and created this sub-system to keep things organized. I had the internal hard drive on my Macbook 74gb, an Iomega drive 465gb, and an old seagate 279gb for backup.

However, all my files were in the same place. I’ve often wanted an offsite backup for files in case my place was robbed or something.

I finally bought another hard drive. I moved absolutely everything on that 465 g-drive and I run my os off of it too. Hooray! All my eggs are in one basket & have time machine turned on for safety in case of hard drive failure.

I’m also going to backup my super important files onto that old seagate and mail it to my parents place.

It takes a LONG time to move all these files around. Plus I took several minutes figuring out how much space I have and if everything would fit to the places where I need it to go. After several pieces of scratch paper and textedit documents I figured out a plan. Now comes the job of organizing all those files so it all makes sense. An all day job.

I also bought a puppet. I won’t get him until the 18th, but that gives me sometime to write some puppet sketches. Oh, the goofy ideas I have. = )

Later tonight I’m going to a BBQ and I’m performing improv. Fun times.

I’m compiling all of my todo items too. I’ve been so overwhelmed by the magnitude of the projects I’ve started and I’ve not done much to get the ball rolling. I tried setting deadlines yesterday, but I got sidetracked. Today I hope to set deadlines.

Ha ha- I’ve just set a deadline for my deadline.
