SADMAC

It happened a week ago. There I was casually browsing the interweb (Facebook stalking) when what should happen but a little Digi Dinosaur and a message pops into the centre of the screen: Unable to Connect to the Internet. What do you mean?

Shoulda Woulda Coulda

Paperman

Take a chance and with it risk minor humiliation. If you don’t, you could end up regretting it. So, I met this guy on the train home, two days before Christmas. Having fallen asleep against the window, I woke up as the conductor announced that the train would go no further than the next station. We weren’t even half way... Read the rest of this post...

It always seemed so distantly in the future, right? But it’s here. It’s New Year’s day; it’s the first day of a brand new year.
