We have the word 'Mc' attached to so many things now, like 'McMansions.' It's become part of our vernacular as something on steroids almost, just bigger and bigger. I think, to a degree, studios have fallen prey to that as well.
I vertically center things in tables a lot, and the fact that there is no way to control vertical positioning in divs affects the way we do things across the board.
I've always supported LGBT organizations and things like that because I felt like I had a vested interest in this, where I wanted to help out.

I'm a Virgo; I naturally love to organize things.
I think we have other things to worry about than some Zika virus.
I am a day dreamer. I visualise a lot of things at the same time.
To accomplish great things we must first dream, then visualize, then plan... believe... act!

One of the things I love, and I'm a voracious reader as well as a writer, is books that surprise me, that are not predictable.
