Words and Lyrics

  I am very excited about T-CON and all the science-fiction-themed events being held this weekend and beyond. I love anything sci-fi related, and today's lineup looks great. Please check out the activities schedule on there.com for exact times. This evening on July 29th, I am hosting a watch party for a classic episode of The Twilight Zone . “Death Ship” follows the crew of the E‑89 as they survey distant worlds for possible colonization. When they detect a mysterious metallic glint on a barren planet, they land to investigate — only to find something impossible waiting for them. The discovery forces the men to confront unsettling questions about what is real, what is imagined, and how far the human mind will go to avoid an unbearable truth. The episode builds tension through psychological unease rather than action, making it one of Richard Matheson’s more introspective Twilight Zone scripts. ✍️ Richard Matheson — Brief Career Overview Richard Matheson (1926–2013) was one of Amer...

  Note: I am traveling this week and created a blog entry to introduce new visitors to both my blog and there.com. Most if not all of these article links will already be familiar to regular readers, but I will be posting new content soon.

If you decide to give there.com a try, my avatar name is matthewkg I started this blog in 2025, not long after I created my cafe-bookstore on Mango Market Island on there.com. Mango Market is a group of shops, stores, and my Words and Lyrics Cafe. Over the past year, I have hosted numerous events and activities here, including, concerts, movies, and podcast-listening events. One of my goals for this summer is to get some new acts to perform at Words and Lyrics -- singers, comedians, author readings, etc. Past events have been a lot of fun and well-attended, and I look forward ...

  England and Norway will square off in today's World Cup quarterfinals, and I am hosting a watch party at Words and Lyrics Cafe/Mango Market to enjoy the match. As some of you know, I am an avid Pittsburgh Steelers fan, but I do enjoy watching soccer/football during the World Cup and Olympics. Doors open at 4:30 pm Eastern Time, and kickoff is at 5:00 pm. I think we are in for some exciting and intense gameplay with dynamic playmakers on both teams.  I guess I am officially neutral in this one but will probably find myself rooting for England. Good luck to both teams! 2026 FIFA World Cup Quarterfinal: England vs. Norway The stage is set at Miami Stadium today as England and Norway clash in a blockbuster 2026 FIFA World Cup quarterfinal. Kickoff is scheduled for 5:00 PM Eastern Time , with the winner booking a spot in the semi-finals.

  I randomly decided to title this entry as the "dog days of summer" since they officially run from July 3rd to August 11th, 2026. As far as real-world activities are concerned, I attended a really nice Writing Conference at Seton Hill University near Pittsburgh a few weekends ago. It was a lot of fun, and I am going to post a more in-depth article on that experience on my Words and Lyrics bookshelf blog in the near future. I have also really enjoyed watching the soccer World Cup; the matches have been exciting, and it was great to see the U.S. advance before they were knocked off by Belgium. As the tournament progresses, I would like to host a few watch parties at Words and Lyrics so I will keep everyone posted on that. Thereian Roxxie has been hosting movie events recently, and I was happy to join a small group to watch Jaws  for the umpteenth time. I can still remember seeing this film in the theater in 1975, and our family went to see it again at the drive-in. This also r...

  Over the past year in There, I have completely immersed myself in fashion. I let an intuitive sense of style guide everything I put together. I find so much joy in building looks, playing with textures and silhouettes in soft, playful, and flirty ways that feel expressive and fun.   There are so many excellent designers in-world who have inspired me to start exploring design myself, and I have been slowly learning how to bring my own ideas into clothing. I am currently working on body contouring, which has been a bit challenging with a hectic schedule…but I am still enjoying the process of learning and refining it little by little. In parallel, I have been spending time with interior design, creating spaces that feel cozy, curated, each one carrying its own personality. Recently, I have been hosting social events, meeting new people, and developing a very real attachment to Gin and Motu Motu. I love how active everything feels in-world.
