REDIC

posted by Matt

As the Bridge RC, I get the privildge to work with Miss Sarah MacAlister and we have quite a rediculous time for the most part, but the craziness has already ensued and the students haven't even arrived. We were making decorations for the hall! It's going to be a good summer.

Spider Guy

posted by Matt

This week, it being staff training and all, the staff are moving stuff into the dorm. I was working on getting the printer all set up and ready to use for the summer. When I was done I got a super greeting from Noah! Eli was around too. After a while Ryan and I played "Spider Guy" with Noah and his magic glove, it was pretty much the cutest thing that happened all day!

MUB-IT-TO-FLUB-IT

posted by Matt

This week staff training for Upward Bound has started, with the first day our Resident Life training. I was in charge of planning the day and the first portion of the day was entitled Mub it to Flub it, which was replicants of some of the games found on Minute to Win It. I won't go over the games in depth unless someone wants me to, but let's just say there was an abundance of laughter and amazingness, so just take these pictures "as is".

Dizzy Mummy

posted by Matt

For Upward Bound this year, I planned the Res-Life orientation in coordinace to games from Minute-To-Win-It. While setting up the game Amanda worked on her door decs and Katie worked on a scraf. Basically it was an amazing night, I should have taken some more photos, but I just got these couple of Amanda doing "Dizzy Mummy" as we tried to figure out the rules, regardless, I think they are pretty amazing.

Bear Brew Amigos

posted by Matt

After work yesterday a bunch of full-time went out to the Bear Brew to just decompress a bit before the week of staff training. For those of you who don't know, I work at a program called Upward Bound that works with low-income, first-generation high school students prepping for college. I was in the program myself as a youngster and now I will be gearing up for my 7th summer as a staff member. It's a terrific program, and takes a great deal of energy, so we just sat on the deck and had some good company.

The Chair

posted by Matt

Lori, at work, got a new chair that helps her with her back problems, and yesterday afternoon we decided to have a Friday test-run of the greatness of said chair. I have to say it was more terrifying than a roller-coaster, and equally as unpleasant. Going back in this thing was about as...

Memorial Day 2011

posted by Matt

Memorial Day 2011 was a fantastic day in the sun. We had gone to Ellsworth for other purposes, but they were closed, so we thought we'd make the best of it, bought some bathing suits (that's where the mannequin was), and headed to Bah Bahbah! We spent the day in the sun, swimming, snacking, and loving life! It was a pretty phenomenal day!

Les Deux Masques

posted by Matt

Not a whole lot to say about this one. Caitlin and I were in AC Moore and we decided to try on some lovely masks. They reminded me of the masquerade scene in Labyrinth!

Kelsi’s Trial

posted by Matt

So, finally, yesterday, we made a great exchange : I would try beat cake and she would try a poptart. I hate vegetables, so mixing cake and beets together seemed like the original sin. Kelsi did NOT want to try a poptart (it's too manufactured for her!) We did this at FA because some of the students on the VT trip were there. End result : she didn't hate it, and I didn't hate the beet cake! All in all, success?

Finest Hipsta

posted by Matt

I have been in the market for some new sunglasses for a while. Part of my reluctance to buy new glasses spans back about 4 years. I found the best sunglasses I have ever owned at the Bangor State Fair. They were great, gunmetal, reflective blue lenses, and generally looked badass! Well, like all great sunglasses, I forgot them somewhere, and they were lost forever! I have lost / broke several more over the years, and haven't found any lately that I really love, until I went to Mardens! Now, typically these are not my standard type of glasses, they are a little hipster / gaga for me, but they were $1.50 and I figured, WHAT THE HECK.

Nikita’s Graduation

posted by Matt

Yesterday my very wonderful friend Nikita graduated! Woohoo! Later in the day there was a party at the waterfront in Lincoln, ME, and all gathered to celebrate with friends, family, and cake (even a red velvet one because I was graduated as well!). It was a pretty great time overall and got some nice photos!

Hairly There

posted by Matt

I have to dye my hair (I get crazy gray hair even at 25) every few months which always entails the lovely CAP! My hair had gotten pretty long at this point so I took a few photos of what my hair was like in that crazy contraption!

Mattic

Allo Mes Amies! Mattic is a photo blog of random photos that aren't necessarily for my portfolio, but daily interactions. This is an iPhone photography blog. Most photos are taken with my hipstamatic app.

The name of the site comes from "hipstaMATIC" and then combined with my name and slicing off the hipsta part = Mattic. The site can also be read as "ThemeAttic" (as there are multiple themes across the site!).

Navigation

LIGHTBOX : All photos on this site use lightbox - so when you are in a post, click the images to open in an overlay on the page (that is easily closed and will take you back to where you were).

PAGE NAVIGATION : The arrow at the bottom righthand corner will take you to the next page of photos (all pages will not have even amounts of posts based on large and small post sizes).

ENJOY!

If you like what you see "like" my blog at the bottom of the website! (not this post, down a bit further) THANKS!
