…Christmas. I can’t get this song out of my head when I walk around Laramie: In other news: So, like almost all weeks, I’m warning you that I will be busy for the next two weeks so I might not be able to post as much, but I’ll try. Finals!!

“Out of Sight” the movie
Lovely little movie. A different way of thinking. Hope it inspires you.
4025: Importance of web design
