		<title>Make it an even ten?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  I just re-upped this domain for two years.
It&#8217;s comical how my goal used to be consecutive days with a post.  Now it&#8217;s consecutive months.
We&#8217;ll see.
domain, renewal ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  So tell me what the fuck this dream means&#8230;
I&#8217;m in Las Vegas&#8211; I&#8217;m not sure why.  We&#8217;re lying on the ground way outside the cities&#8211; there are no buildings nearby.  We are then for a while; it was sunny, a thunderstorm rolled through (I remember being pissed it moved mostly to the [...] ]]></description>

		<title>Purple lipstick is a no-no&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  Apparently, some kiddos from Bristol (obligatory shoutout to Mark at Bristol Ten Pin; bring back &#8220;Bowl Your Head Off&#8221;) were at Fenway today (yesterday, since it&#8217;s 4 AM) when some girl was randomly attacked by a red-tailed hawk.  Which I&#8217;m like &#8220;well that blows, but it&#8217;s kind of funny.&#8221;  It went from [...] ]]></description>

		<title>Don&#8217;t be fooled&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  A game thread on SoSH brought this back to my attention; Frank Francisco&#8217;s famous chair throwing incident from freshman year&#8230;

&#8220;Frank is best known for participating in one of the ugliest incidents of fan violence. On September 13, 2004, Frank threw a folding chair into the crowd in a game against the Oakland Athletics. The [...] ]]></description>

		<title>Why I hate hippies&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  So apparently people in Berkeley want the Marines out.  And the city council applauds residents who &#8220;volunteer to impede, passively or actively, by nonviolent means, the work of any military recruiting office located in the City of Berkeley.&#8221;
So the federal government threatened to take away $2 million in federal funding for the city [...] ]]></description>

		<title>Super Bowl XLII</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  Along the way, Patriot fans lost their humility and turned into the very thing their region despised for the last fifty years&#8211; Yankee fans.  &#8220;Fuck the world, we&#8217;re the greatest ever, who gives a shit about class if we win.&#8221;  The fact that some of you still cannot shake your sense of [...] ]]></description>

		<title>Bowling and Christmas&#8211; if only we had more nachos.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  Bowled in the Christmas tournaments down in Allentown and Cherry Hill.  Pretty much sucked ass in both of them.  I had actually bowled in a scratch sweeper in Poughkeepsie the Sunday before Christmas, and had this hideous mental breakdown in the first game&#8211; I only shot 149 with six opens&#8211; five of [...] ]]></description>

		<title>Overheard in Avon&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  While wandering around The Shoppes today&#8230;
Woman 1:  &#8220;Hey, do you remember&#8230; what was the hand cream the gardener said he used?&#8221;
Woman 2:  &#8220;Oh, I think it was something by Ahava.&#8221;
Woman 1:  &#8220;Oh yeah; Ahava. (pause) His hands are so soft.&#8221;
Woman 2:  &#8220;Tell me about it.&#8221;
I mean&#8211; do they randomly say [...] ]]></description>
