		<description><![CDATA[So I says to my class, after lecture, &#8220;Let&#8217;s play a game!&#8221; There was almost a response&#8230;. &#8220;I need six classic movies.&#8221; It took a little second, but we got there. &#8220;Ok, now I need six kinds of monster!&#8221; Oh, wow, turns out my class is way more excited about monsters than movies. *laugh* So, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s the thing: this site relies on research. Sometimes I quote or show pictures of copy written materials. If I can&#8217;t show you, dear reader, the occasional bit of research, then what? You just have to take my word on it? The current version of the SOPA bill allows websites to be censored and cut [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I didn&#8217;t mean to. I really, really didn&#8217;t. I have nothing against Girl Scouts (now that I&#8217;m out of grade school). I think it&#8217;s kind of adorable when they actually go door-to-door selling their little cookies &#8211; way better than sending a parent in to the office/theater/classroom with a sign-up sheet. And when I could [...]]]></description>

Not, like, &#8220;Gosh, I should sweep!&#8221; Like, &#8220;Didn&#8217;t we have a floor in here at one point?&#8221; Every single year, My New Year&#8217;s resolutions have included something about this being the year when I will finally have a clean garage.

		<description><![CDATA[Ok, So I&#8217;ve been sitting on this news for weeks&#8230;.. But it&#8217;s basically official now. I got my letter of appointment as PT Faculty to the College of DuPage yesterday. If nothing goes kerblooey, I&#8217;m teaching Design Principles for Apparel and co-teaching Design Studio next semester. So, like, YAY!!!!! I&#8217;m excited. Slightly terrified, if my [...]]]></description>

(And, often, the PC gets shoved back so I can put my Air on the desk and work. My poor little first-version-2008-never-seen-anything-like-it-Air has a better set of debugging tools, starting with a flipping command line.) [...]]]></description>

Because sometimes I get lonely when I&#8217;m out in the garage sewing and I want to talk about what I&#8217;m doing, but &#8220;Only 12 more bias strips to go!
