Hey guys, Happy Easter!

This blog is moving to a brand-new server, courtesy of Dreamhost and generously provided by William Mruzek and Zac Cardwell.  From time to time, the site will be online and offline, and once the move is done, it’ll take a little time before the pages, theme and blog entries are back online.

You can access the WordPress.com version of this website at http://radiomatthew.wordpress.com

For my readers on LiveJournal:  The syndicated feed will expire once the move is completed.  I’ll set up a new RSS syndication feed by the end of next week so you can continue reading these entries on your friends page.

Thanks for everyone’s patience with this move!  Moving to Dreamhost will allow everyone, both writer and reader, a better experience here at FiercePanda.us!

Well, my mini-vacation with Ninja Jim ended Sunday afternoon. It was nice to get away and forget your problems for two days, though the problems are right back on your doorstep when you come back.

About a week ago, I had agonizing dental work in which they drilled down one of my molars and replaced it with a temporary crown (the permanent crown is coming in about two weeks).  I have no doubt that this dental work brought on my fever two days later.  In addition to that, the crown brings me around-the-clock pain and has slightly chipped in two places.  It got so bad that while Jim and I were in Dublin, we had to venture to a drugstore and buy some Orajel (that stuff hurt like hell and didn’t really do well—if it hadn’t been for my exhaustion, I probably wouldn’t have been able to fall asleep in the hotel room).

Right now, I really want a job.  I wish I had signed up for more classes.  I really want to be productive, and I just feel incredibly bored.  I’m sure there’s things to do and people to see, I just don’t know what there is to do or where to look.  I’ll call Tyler in the morning and follow up on the Wine Menu project.   Jim wants me to visit him at the studio, so I might do that too.

A video of Ninja Jim creating a stoneware vase yesterday at UC Davis.  I shot some more video today of Jim putting the final touches on the vase, and eventually I’ll get around to putting them on the Internet.
