IT for a finance company in London (well, at the time). Head of development was a big fan and Ben was over in London doing some work at the Barbican centre for 4 days so they managed to get him for the Friday before he flew back to the states. Had a bit of a chat to him after, one coool dood, and can play the piano very well sitting on one cheek :)

yeah, should get watched in schools. i just need more translations, as most of my friends aren't that good at understanding english.

(before schools, it should be watched by teachers, so they first learn a bit, too)

I loved the one where they talk about reading between the lines.
After she returned from Argentina to start her own business.
She finally told him at his father's funeral.


I found it really heartwarming!
