I need to teach myself how to make origami butterflies; the kids at work are showing me up.

The above article details a few of the reasons so many women still love Jane Austen’s irresistible character Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice.
The first time I read Pride and Prejudice, I was young and foolish and thought Mr. Darcy was just another idealized male Superhunk with the usual characteristics of handsome, rich, completely unobtainable, and secretly in love with the...

Fred and I are both getting a tad frustrated with our coursework. I quote Fred: What’s the point in having a printer that won’t print. I quite agree.
