<description>Do you ever get the feeling that your only purpose in life is to convert oxygen into deadly greenhouse gases that contribute to the extinction of the human race, and the eventual entropic heat-death of the Universe? Nah, me either....</description>

<title>Happy Holidays</title>
<description><![CDATA[Sometimes family gatherings are a bore, but you can still find little joys to get you through. Cf., this bird-watchers' bookmark that is part of the bird-themed decor in one of my relations' house:

<img src="./images/red_breasted_nuthatch.jpg" title="My favorite bird of all time: The Red-Breasted Nuthatch" width="354" height="419" border="1" hspace="5" vspace="5" />

 Yes, Virginia, there really is a Santa Claus. And he brings good things to us bad little boys sometimes, too.]]></description>

<title>School Daze</title>
<description>Going to back to college is good for me in so many ways... Not only am I keeping my mind active and learning, and expanding my knowledge and horizons -- I&apos;m also toning and flattening my abs by sucking in my gut constantly so I don&apos;t look quite so fat around all these 20-somethings. Ah, college...</description>

<title>V for Very Valuable Voice</title>

<title>El Acoso Sexual!</title>
<description><![CDATA[So I'm idly reading the posters in the breakroom at the office this morning (mainly because of my eyes' complete inability to pass over the written word in any form, no matter how many times I've read that specific piece of text before) and I notice the festive-sounding phrase "<em>El Acoso Sexual</em>". Mmm, sounds <strong>zesty</strong>! ...]]></description>

<title>A joke I don&apos;t quite have the guts to include in my personal e-mail signature</title>
<description>If houseplants ever take over the world,
I&apos;m probably going to be sitting in shackles
at their version of the Nuremberg trials.

<title>Lead us not into temptation</title>

<title>Crushingly nihilistic thought for the day</title>
<description><![CDATA[Saw this in someone's signature on an online forum today:

<font face="'Times New Roman',Times,serif" size="4">Smile..... from here on out life only gets shorter.</font>

 Now, isn't that reassuring.
