It really helps me when I’m figuring out my plan of attack to just throw a bunch of disorganized bubbles all over the screen as I think […]

I come from a long line of extremely clumsy people. The Podmom broke her middle toe so many times they took the bones out of it, and my dad broke his nose so many times they took the cartilage out of it! I inherited this genetic trait, and I can remember from a very young […]
