Spaulding Gray reincarnated as Mitsu The Cat

I was cat-sitting for Mitsu when she attacked my Spaulding Gray poster. It occurred to me that this cat might be the reincarnation of one of my favorite people of all time. I choose to believe Spaulding would have enjoyed coming back to Earth as a feline. Happy Birthday, Spaulding.

Clam Eats Salt Part 2: Matt Eats Salt airs tonight on truTV’s Top Funniest

I don’t know how they found my YouTube video, but TruTV will be airing my face doing stupid stuff tonight (4/29) at 10pm as part of their show, truTV Top Funniest. I’ve had content air on basic cable before, but this is the first time America will see my ridiculous mug. Here’s what they are showing:

The video was a parody of another YouTube video featuring a clam “eating salt”. The poor clam was actually just looking to burrow, but since it was on a kitchen table and not in the ocean it looks like it’s eating salt.

I’m not sure how they are going to treat my video. There’s a good chance they are going to make me look like an idiot. To which I say, bravo. Bring it on.

How to dig your car out of the snow in Jackson Heights, NYC

The winter of 2011 was pretty brutal for NYC. I’m from WNY so I wasn’t a big deal to me. But people in the city had a rough go of it. Just watch the people in Jamie Stuart’s Idiot With A Tripod.

So when I saw these ladies trying to dig out their car on 77th Street with these tiny snow shovels, I had to get out the HD Camera. I stuck my Kodak Zi8 out the window of my apartment and captured their efforts. I love how they keep trying to drive out with the job not nearly done.

I did took liberty in the edit to make it look like someone else snaked the parking spot from them, just as they were about to re-park. In reality, I think they were clearing the spot for a friend or family member.
