back in mccall tonight. i think my favorite thing about this town is the fact that the only movie theatre is also the local lumber shop – you can pick up a few 2x4s, some metal brackets, maybe some popcorn, and catch the last showing of Shrek, all in one convenient stop.

my younger brother is in town visiting for the week (he’s just finished his freshman year of college). among other interesting things i learned about him today, his college nick name is BUTTER McGADS. yes, that’s right. as in the yellow stuff you put on toast. when i asked him why he answers to the name Butter, he patiently explained that an ordinary name like Matt isn’t near as memorable as a name like Butter. i asked if any of his other friends had condiment nick names, but apparently they all just go by their last names. i like the idea of a group of guys named after things in the fridge – you could have Butter, Ketchup, Skim Milk, and Moldy Thing In The Back Of The Fridge.
