		<title>What&#8217;s the point of it all?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I disappeared from the internet for awhile because I have been wondering why in the hell I keep this blog anyway. I am well aware that I mostly just end up whining into it and I don&#8217;t particularly like that myself. I also received a particularly interesting comment that I think is worth responding [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Moment of Pain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, while the hospital I visited in January is currently deciding if I&#8217;m enough of a charity case to waive some of my charges, the ER physician (who charges separately from the hospital itself) just sent me a bill. On the one hand, I do get the contractual readjustment through my health insurance company. On [...]]]></description>

		<title>Holy Shit I Got into Grad School</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I took a little much-needed hiatus from blogging after having an utterly horrendous, hate-filled day that made me want to never use the internet again. I do want to try to maintain a regular schedule of posting and I think I have been doing better, but after that day I really, really needed a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fuck the internet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have officially lost all faith in the human race. Today alone, anonymous assholes on the internet have called me a &#8220;loser&#8221; who &#8220;just suck[s] at life,&#8221; a &#8220;drooling idiot,&#8221; &#8220;enfeebled,&#8221; a &#8220;self-important bitch, an &#8220;opinionated cunt,&#8221; and been told that I was only being spoken to this way in an effort to &#8220;de-cunt&#8221; me.

		<title>Saving Money</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just thought of a new way to shave a few cents off my grocery bill. I&#8217;m going to call home, and ask my parents to mail me my diploma. Then I will tear it into strips and use it as toilet paper.]]></description>

		<title>The procrastinators leading the procrastinators</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Monday I learned that Future Particle Physicist has been lying to my face for weeks about his homework. He often tells me that he &#8220;doesn&#8217;t have&#8221; homework in a particular subject, or that his teacher gave the students time to work on it during class and already he handed it in. Now that I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mirror&#8217;s Edge 2 Postponed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[According to the website Eurogamer, Mirror&#8217;s Edge 2 has been cancelled, or at least postponed, or, well, whatever you call it, the point is you&#8217;re not going to see it for awhile. If ever. I was quite surprised at my immediate reaction of disappointment, considering I raged at my Xbox through the majority of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ragequitting life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I&#8217;ve been playing a lot of Halo with Internet Friends with Benefits lately, and it&#8217;s been making me really angry. This is interesting for two reasons. One is that I think my anger goes a tiny bit deeper than Halo, but I&#8217;ll get back to that in a minute. The other interesting thing is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Clever adventures and lessons in racial history [Huckleberry Finn Review]</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ernest Hemingway once said, &#8220;All modern American literature comes from [Huckleberry Finn]&#8221; and it&#8217;s &#8220;the best book we&#8217;ve had&#8221;. Spoiler alert: I&#8217;m going to give it 3 1/2 stars, so I don&#8217;t quite agree with such glowing praise. He went on to say, &#8220;If you must read it you must stop where the Nigger Jim [...]]]></description>

		<title>The finances of a 20-something</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few days ago my mom called to tell me the W-2 from my temporary job at the census arrived in her mailbox, and would I like to send her my other forms for the year so she could bring them to her accountant? I did my best to remain calm as I explained for [...]]]></description>
