		<title>As they revolve in the Middle East, I resolve not to feast</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have intentionally neglected to write about this until now, for fear that I would peter out two weeks in and have my words come back to haunt my dreams. Now that a month has passed, however, I reckon it’s time to codify this so I can hold myself accountable going forward. On December 31, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Christmas time was here</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I realize it’s sacrilegious to criticize American icons like this, but since no one reads what I write anyway, let’s get down to business. A Charlie Brown Christmas, while charming, is really terrible. I understand that part of the allure of gathering the tots around the tube every yuletide is to reflect back upon memories [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spare some change?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I like public broadcasting. I remember when I was young, it seems like every major event occurred with the faint dinging of Mister Rogers&#8217; trolley in the background. I remember when B.J. totally ruined Barney&#8217;s show by joining the cast. And I remember the pre- and post- Shari Lewis years. As I grew up, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Well, my October schedule just cleared up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the years since my temperamental adolescence, I&#8217;ve developed the unique ability to not get emotional over anything. Well, almost anything. For some reason, the majority of my adult life has been spent nurturing deep-seated and irrational emotional devotion to baseball. Does this mean I&#8217;m broken? Or does it mean that I&#8217;m functioning really, really [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I need to acquaint myself with Final Cut Pro for school, so today I set up a virtual machine running OSX on my system so I can run the OS-specific software. I feel like I&#8217;m playing with one of those toys from the pediatrician&#8217;s office with the multicolor beads on a wire ground into a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trouble Brewing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A couple of days ago, I went to the journalism department&#8217;s orientation to be inundated with dates and deadlines that, at present, seem like they are going to roll around sometime during the next millennium. After that, I joined some of my new comrades at the campus tavern (which, incidentally, is called The Tavern). As [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Random Observation About News</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Given my new status as a wannabe newsman, I suppose I should give my opinion about something not related to baseball or bacon for once. Remember when CNN Headline News was, you know, actually a news show? Now, HLN has devolved into a hodgepodge of superficial news and uneducated opinions. Any given half hour of [...]]]></description>

		<title>My First Impressions of the Rest of My Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, I went for the first time to my new school&#8217;s campus. I realize that it is extremely risky and not generally recommended to sign over multiple years of your early twenties to an institution you&#8217;ve never seen in real life, but in this case I think I lucked out. The campus is nestled mere [...]]]></description>
