Everybody else is doing it, so why can’t I?

Hahaha — the universe is funny when it wants to be. I was bitching to the Boyfriend about having to take a crash-CRASH course of XHTML for some job application that I filled out semi-half-heartedly (I don’t know; I’m a bit wonky these days), and how the job description had asked for a Java/HTML/CSS guru, [...]

Autumn is orange trees and red leaves and thin, acrylic gloves and daylight savings time.
