		<description><![CDATA[I recently purchased “The Narrow Stairs” by Death Cab for Cutie, so I’ve been listening to “I Will Possess Your Heart,” and revisiting why it creeps me out (even though I like the song.) In the same vein, this appeared on Emails From Crazy People. Go ahead, I’ll wait. When the song first came out, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wasn&#8217;t going to say anything, but I&#8217;m sitting here in the middle of another annoying hot flash. They&#8217;re becoming fewer, and the intensity is diminishing, but the only good thing I can say about this is thank goodness I&#8217;ll be dealing with this for months rather than years. I have nothing bad to say [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been seeing this all over lately (not just from band kids; don&#8217;t get paranoid), people who are quitting something, or someone, and I&#8217;ve been thinking about why people quit and whether or not they should, and what leads to it, and whether they&#8217;re serious when they say they&#8217;re going to quit. . .I&#8217;m not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know that the allegory is an often disparaged form of argument, but for me it is almost essential. The allegory creates a visual picture in the mind of an often ethereal concept, and creates a connection that allows many of us to better recall the details of the argument itself. I’m all about visuals [...]]]></description>

Not just the kind you do in games, or on stage, but all the different ways we pretend to be someone other than ourselves, why we do it, and which kinds are OK and which ones [...]]]></description>

It didn&#8217;t seem like it was the carpet was the only culprit, because the cat pee smell in the room was still strong, but not over by the treated area as much as the rest of the room.

I wasn&#8217;t really worried, because it was one that had already been identified (along with several hundred others) as a cyst &#8211; it was just a lot bigger than it used to be. So I pulled out the number for the place where [...]]]></description>
