		<title>A nice day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today was a really nice day. I think the temperature reached just shy of 70 degrees F. This is quite extraordinary considering the past month of so, which was filled with rain and unseasonable cold. Global warming, my ass! About a month ago there was a single gorgeous day. I think it reached 80 F, [...]]]></description>

		<title>New in 2011</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I battle with this project continually. Every year I end up neglecting it, then I begin anew with gusto, only to neglect it again. I’m not even going to bother apologizing for my absence, as the site statistics state that a maximum of one or two people visit here in any given month. So it’s [...]]]></description>

		<title>And now, an update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I believe I titled a post very similarly once before, but I just don&#8217;t have it in me to come up with anything original today. I&#8217;m sort of doing this under cover, as it were, because, you guessed it, I&#8217;m in class once again. Sociology. Ugh. It&#8217;s a social science requirement, as though the six [...]]]></description>

		<title>Don&#8217;t lose your marbles (though if you do, there&#8217;s Pepto-MAX)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dirty Jobs this week visited a marble factory. Yeah, that kind of marble&#8212;the little round things you used to lose by the dozens (and maybe even put in your mouth). Apparently there are marbles that sell for hundreds of dollars. Who knew? Today I explored the creative possibilities of Windows Live Movie Maker, a pretty [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bartleby, the Scrivener: Oh, how I am glad to be rid of thee</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I do this all the time: I leave papers until the last minute. Today was cutting it quite fine even for this habit, though: The paper was due at 5:00 PM, and I began it around 12:00 PM. I also took about half an hour off for lunch, though I only did that because I [...]]]></description>

		<title>A long-awaited retirement</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been over three years&#8212;from June 11th, 2006 to November 27th, 2006&#8212;that my trusty Toshiba Satellite has served me, but the 27th&#8212;yesterday by this time of the morning&#8212;was the day I officially retired it. I am typing this entry on the Satellite&#8217;s replacement: an HP dv6-1355dx. Having had the machine now for less than a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Iced tea or lemonade?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One is forced to ask this question every time he considers buying a bottle of lemon iced tea. I confess that I was once among those who happily consumed the Lipton &#8220;iced tea&#8221; you get from a gigantic can. Even then, I never made it &#8220;properly&#8221;&#8212;I made a highly-concentrated version with anywhere from three to [...]]]></description>

		<title>My original theme, resurrected</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By this I don&#8217;t mean to imply that I made this theme. No, this is the first theme I ever had for my WordPress blog. This was the first blog I set up, over a year ago, and this theme&#8212;Egecia&#8212;was my first choice. Unfortunately, there was an odd issue that was never solved wherein clicking [...]]]></description>

		<title>Avatar</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I made a new avatar for my Ubuntu Forums account. I figured I&#8217;d mash up a bunch of stuff that&#8217;s been of interest to me lately, so I ended up with this: Mario and Sonic are friends now. They&#8217;re been featured together now in two separate Olympics-themed games, as well as the Super Smash [...]]]></description>

		<title>And now&#8230;an update!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I really should update this place more often. I say that all the time, and then proceed to not do it. I did make a stab at it early this morning, but I was ill prepared for that entry and caught off guard by having discovered at the last moment I had missed my deadline [...]]]></description>
