		<description><![CDATA[My ability to survive and thrive in my day-to-day life depends on two brains. One is the approximately three pounds of lumpy grey and white matter between my ears. The other, about 2.5 pounds heavier and also grey and white, is my laptop. They aren&#8217;t a truly redundant system — I haven&#8217;t yet figured out [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let me set up a hypothetical situation for you.
Someone does something really crappy to you. It doesn&#8217;t involve torture, bloodshed, or imminent danger to life or limb &#8212; but it&#8217;s not a minor annoyance, either. Think cheating, stealing, lying to or about you, that kind of thing. To make matters worse, it&#8217;s done by someone [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week I thought I had found an acceptably affordable one-way ticket to London, but this week, when I went to book it, it was gone. After two hours of concerted searching on Booking Buddy, I turned up an acceptable alternative for just $34 more than the first. Having learned my lesson about not letting [...]]]></description>

If you book a one-way award, you&#8217;re not getting 50% off a round trip ticket. You&#8217;re getting a free trip in one direction. Going the other way is [...]]]></description>

~~~
Well, hello there. I haven&#8217;t made a blog post in far too long, and I have no excuse.
Actually, that&#8217;s not true. I do have an excuse. I was procrastinating. And for the strangest of reasons: I was putting off writing a blog post because I really, [...]]]></description>

Seriously. Look at them. They&#8217;re Doc Martens. I just ordered them on Friday.
I haven&#8217;t owned a pair of Docs since college. And they have steel toes, which I have never had in a pair of boots, never having been in a situation where I urgently needed to kick anything hard or [...]]]></description>

The prints ranged in size from 8&#215;10 all the way up to 20&#215;30; when I was done and stood them up around the room to look them over en masse, they seemed very large and impressive indeed.
