		<title>Berry-picking on the Matanuska</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Summer sun after a month of rain red, berry blood, stains hands and lips they taste of the river, and of the mountain, and when I am too greedy they tumble from my fingers, bright rubies lost to tall grass. When the clouds finally broke this week the sun that shone through was not the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Water Over The Bridge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems like, this year, that the weather is a month ahead of itself. It has done nothing but pour rain this entire month, with only a handful of sunny days scattered between the downpours. This is the sort of weather we usually have in August, and at this rate I&#8217;m expecting snow for my [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Curious Village and Me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So this week I&#8217;ve been playing a lot of Professor Layton and the Curious Village &#8211; and I finished Final Fantasy XIII, but I don&#8217;t have all my thoughts put together on that one yet. Honestly I might never have all my thoughts together on that one. It&#8217;s like one big, tangled ball of Christmas [...]]]></description>

		<title>Movie Review: The Karate Kid (2010)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just as sort of a minor up-front disclaimer &#8211; I have not seen the original Karate Kid movies. I don&#8217;t know why, and I intend to fix that at the earliest available opportunity. I guess this means that I can judge this movie on its own merits? Either that or talk complete BS. There will [...]]]></description>

		<title>E3 2010 : The Reaction Recap</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just as quickly as it comes, E3 vanishes back into the night for another year. Biggest thing at the show for me? Hands down Ocarina of Time being remade for the 3DS. I literally screamed when I saw it pop up on Joystiq. Yes, I am incredibly lame. Second biggest thing? Legend of Zelda : [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stranger in a Familiar Land</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last couple of weeks, at my mom&#8217;s insistence, I&#8217;ve been going with her to her meditation class in Palmer. Meditation is nothing new to me &#8211; I do it all the time &#8211; but this is Tao meditation, not the zen or musing meditation I&#8217;m used it. It&#8217;s different, but that&#8217;s not the point. The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Movie Review: Astro Boy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[During one of my recent housesitting trips I had occasion to watch the American Astro Boy movie, thanks to Netflix. I was looking for something light and fun, with plenty of action and color. Osamu Tezuka was a genius and Astro Boy has a simple premise, how badly could Americans screw it up? Ha, a [...]]]></description>

		<title>E3 2010 Wishlist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh wow, it&#8217;s almost time for E3 again. Where did all the time go? This is like Christmas for me1, and it&#8217;s times like this I wish I was a professional video game journalist, just so I could be down there in the center of the whirlwind. I&#8217;m not, but I can dabble if I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Snow in April</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I woke up yesterday morning to grey skies and heavy snowfall. At first it came down driving, mixed with icy rain, when it changed to huge, fluffy flakes that fell at a leisurely pace, like snow in a snowglobe. It snowed all afternoon, accumulating a good five inches here before the clouds finally broke up. [...]]]></description>

		<title>This and That In &#8216;Spring&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I meant to have this post up on Friday, but as it happened this weekend was a dog show weekend. Dog shows seem to consume my weekends, and I spent yesterday recovering. And playing Final Fantasy XIII, but I don&#8217;t count that time &#8211; as far as I&#8217;m concerned when I sit down to play [...]]]></description>
