This recent Wednesday, Matt had an otherwise unextraordinary day.  He got up exactly 15 minutes after his two alarms--his clock and his cell phone--beeped.  He went into the bathroom to brush and shower: After a 23 minute shower, he then got out, dried off, and then brushed, flossed and lastly, gargled mouth wash.  15 minutes later, suitably dressed and appropriately layered to ward off the cold,  he briskly walked to the subway.  6  minutes later, avoiding the eyes of fellow passengers and morning commuters, he entered the train that arrived.  With each stop, the train emptied and he arrived closer to his daily morning destination.  While blankly absorbed in whatever song his iPod's shuffle feature chose at that moment, little did he know his unextraordinary day would become something else: he would see a fantastic movie later that day. The movie is called "Stranger than Fiction" featuring Emma Thompson, Dustin Hoffman, Maggie G, and Will Ferrell.   Go see it.  It's a nice, casually contemplative movie that doesn't feature wrestling between two naked men.
