“Nor­mally our build­ing code is suf­fi­cient to build build­ings of […]

7.20pm
This just in. Naomi thought the cat was under the sofa rock­ing it, caus­ing her to feel a lit­tle dizzy. Then we found the cat on his perch, and so she asked me to sit on the sofa to feel it sway­ing a bit.

I just had a funny con­ver­sa­tion on IM with a friend that went like this:

M: Of course, old tech­nol­ogy, but looks beau­ti­ful.
D: Yay, I’m order­ing one, and choos­ing the engrav­ing on the back.
M: Order from where?
D: […]

Now That You Got It remix feat. Damian Marley

On September 5, 2007 · Leave a Comment · In Media
