Market-Based Solutions to Global Warming
This is disturbing. The frog should not bother him this much. But let me tell you what does bother me. So Wal Mart is supposed to be the leading industry in greeeeen. Improved fleets, improved packaging, the works. And I went into a WalMart today and it’s disturbing. So, ok, all the light was from sunlight—almost little no no artificial lighting, but shit. If WalMart is green then...
Biography Part I
Hello. I am Laura Mattison. This is my blog. I forgot about it for a while, but now I am re-committing myself to it. I live in Providence, Rhode Island at the moment. It’s coo. Very art-decco, retro, Superman-in-Metropolis type city. It has that feeling of a movie setting where the gargoles mught come alive. They’ve done a nice job at taking their old depratment store and...

A true trivia question
I do a lot of people watching—specifically at the people that frequent the sub shop known as Dinos. Here is a mystery I never could solve: a taxi driver always stops his car and parks in the illegal spot out front. Every time he leave his car, a whole cloud of white dust is emitted from the car.

Leo and I are in a fight
I went to check out my myspace account and I noticed that the music was GONE! It said, in the space where the music once was, “Deleted by the artist”. Does that mean that Leo Kottke was looking at my profile and was like, “no, you can’t have my song”? I have forgotten how to put music into my profile, so all you people that hate profile music can thank Leo Kottke...
Crazies Like Dogs
Having a pooch has helped me to realize how many crazy neighbors I have: because of him, I have met the junk-tank old men next store who giggle and offer to call “certain people” for me; I’ve also met the lady across the street who thinks that black cats are reincarnations of the devil; and I’ve met the drunk girl around the corner who likes to come with us for walks at 9...

Can you imagine spending more than $1100 dollars on dinner for you and 7 of yours friends?
The Garden
I have this little garden where I can dig around in the dirt and the sun feels good on my back and yeah! The other days this lady comes by. She has the garden next to me. She starts telling me how surely, nothing that I plant will grow. I’ll show her!! Grrrrr……
Yeah!
This is my first blogging experience. Which is good because I stopped keeping a journal about 5 months ago. I just kinda wasn’t interested in my own thoughts anymore. Keeping a journal is good. It gives some kind of witness to your life, even if that witness is an inanimate object such as a pad of paper. And if there is a witness to your life, then nothing is random or meaningless,...
