		<title>Independence Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As of exactly one very busy week ago, I am moved out of Mamaroneck and into Astoria in Queens, NY. At long last, after seemingly endless months of isolation, I&#8217;m done paying for my ex, literally and figuratively. The flip side, of course, is that if my life continues to be a struggle &#8212; and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Photorama</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been taking a ton of photos lately, including a large set from my trip to Illinois to visit family this month, so check them out if you like. I have a few shots of my soon-to-be new apartment still on my camera, and I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll have even more photos to come now that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tumbleweeds</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Seven months since my last post? Sounds about right. My life changed a lot during that time, and it isn&#8217;t done yet. It turns out, everything I wanted to say about any of it could be posted as short status updates on Facebook, with the added bonus of immediate feedback from friends and family. I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yep, it&#8217;s that day again. I&#8217;m celebrating by going to work, dealing with an internet outage at home, and possibly getting rained on later. Meanwhile, here&#8217;s today&#8217;s theme song: MC Frontalot &#8211; This Old Man Yo, please save me from the wrist-hurt disease&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Sorry, Fort Worth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had fun at Rifftrax live on Thursday, but it would have been better if the crappy theater in New Rochelle had bothered to turn on the audio for the first several minutes. It finally came on just after the short film began. The other guy who went out to the lobby to complain at [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Rules</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With apologies to Bill Maher, whose show I don&#8217;t even watch except in clips online: 1. If you actually believe the health reform bill includes (or included or ever will include) &#8220;death panels,&#8221; you are too stupid to live. Please report to the death panels. 2. If you are a senior citizen and you are [...]]]></description>

		<title>Down and Out in Larchmont</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To preface why I find this video so brilliant, you need to know that I live about a mile from Larchmont, NY. I frequently shop there for groceries. I could walk there if I wanted. Stuff like this just drives home how I really do live and work at ground zero for 90% of what&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>The United States of Goldman Sachs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It took them long enough, but Rolling Stone has finally posted the full text of Matt Taibbi&#8217;s article on Goldman Sachs and its history of, you know, evil. And if you think Obama is any less beholden to GS and Wall Street than Bush or the GOP, then sadly, you need to read the beginning [...]]]></description>
