Man. Upgrading is the shits. My measly PHP skills are no match for Murphy’s Law. I just spent the entire fucking morning trying to get the Blogroll to work. No wonder I stopped wanting to program after school.

“oh how many “coke” did you take na Ina in land of make love not war.”

I didn’t want to watch Elizabethtown. I was kind of anxious about it, unwilling to soil my memories of “Almost Famous” and “Jerry Maguire”, not really looking forward to Legolas and Kiki “I want some more” Dunst act like normal people.
