E.T phone home

13. June 2008

I don’t take my irresponsibility pledge lightly. This may sound like a contradiction in terms, but I like to get things right, or in this case, wrong. So today, I didn’t make the phone calls I should have made and I spent an hour reading a website I just found and instantly fell in love [...]
