		<title>Octopus&#8217;s Garden</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s some art:

I started this piece several months ago. Somewhere along the line I went mad with power and blacked in way too much, and once I realized it, I sort of stopped liking it. I&#8217;ve been trying to use more contrast of both black vs white and texture vs space, but I think this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Artsy People</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a pretty cool idea&#8230; not sure my art style really fits with this group (its more mult-media which I like but haven&#8217;t experimented with much) but maybe it will encourage me to start doing more drawings, and, who knows, actually post to the blog occasionally. I first saw it on Norah&#8217;s Art blog [...]]]></description>

		<title>Escape from Shmoopocolypse 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Or, &#8220;If Shmoocon 2010 was a Zombie Movie.&#8221;
It&#8217;s taken some time, and a whole lot of therapy, but I think I&#8217;m finally ready to talk about what happened.
Everyone&#8217;s heard of the great &#8220;snowpocalypse&#8221; in DC a few months back, the snowstorm that covered the east cost this last February. Most people don&#8217;t realize that this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rescue</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve been following my twitter stream you&#8217;ve probably already heard that one of my cats is diabetic. She&#8217;s fine, never actually got to the point where she was acting weird (which made figuring out what was wrong a bit difficult) but my brain has been pretty cat centered last couple weeks.
Chyna is the cat [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quick Vote Note</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Obviously I&#8217;ve been neglecting my blog terribly, but I hope to be back with some drawings and an actual real-live post this week. Meanwhile&#8230;
Frozen, a post I wrote back in October, was nominated as one of the best &#8220;Just Posts&#8221; of 2009 in the category of Political/Legal Social Justice related to Sexuality. The post is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Make My Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I got outside I was not at all surprised (though somehow, even still, dismayed) to see my car buried in the snow. My Subaru was one of only two in the lot, the other a truck, with a man I hardly noticed waiting for the engine to warm.
Resignation. I ran a gloved hand around [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wrap Up 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I got this survey last year from Linda of All &#38; Sundry. A nice easy way to look back on the year.
1. What did you do in 2009 that you’d never done before?
Got my MFA degree! Finished (really finished) a novel! Spent an entire year married.  
2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Travel Prep</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Speaking of mobile blogging, posts are going to be a bit sporadic until the end of the year. Matt and I just got back from Pittsburgh, and over the next several weeks we&#8217;ll be more scattered. Matt&#8217;s got a trip to Malta coming up, and I&#8217;ve got trips to Cincinnati and Eugene (Oregon).
The holidays are [...]]]></description>

		<title>Truman-Esque</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My day in photos:
I brought my friend Kim a sampling of my favorite breakfast teas.

I enjoyed playing with her kitten for a while&#8230;

Then headed to the pet store to get cat food for MY cats.

I saw some ferrets that looked dead, but I promise, they were still breathing.

Actually, I know you don&#8217;t care. My being [...]]]></description>

		<title>Creepy Coraline</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As soon as I saw the movie, I decided to go as Coraline for Halloween. As you might remember, I am a big fan of Neil Gaiman, so it seemed appropriate.
Part of the reason for this is that it gave me a great excuse to dye my hair blue. For as long as I can [...]]]></description>
