Absolutely no way
We have said it before. There is no way to predict the workings of love. We dare you to watch this at the best resolution you can stand, and then look to see where your heart ends up. Send us a nice postcard from there! Don’t forget that card, okay?

Stories like those in Life is Beautiful, Contact, and and Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy come immediately to mind. Long running works such as Connections, and Cosmos spring forth in […]
