		<description><![CDATA[It took over five hours to drive down from San Jose to LA on Friday night, then it took over ten hours to fly from LAX to Narita international airport.  And it&#8217;s done!  Phew!
The plane was booked full, so everyone on the plane could only have one carry-on.  This resulted in some [...]]]></description>

So I guess you could say I&#8217;m doing much better now than I was then!  This is very likely the prime of my life and I&#8217;m trying [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The longer I live, the longer I realize that we humans are crazy about certain fixations.
We know about what fixations are looked down upon.  It&#8217;s not acceptable for someone to be so fixated on playing a video game like World of Warcraft to the point that they ignore their family, for instance.
And yet paradoxically [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I bought the expansion.  Played it like any other game but I&#8217;m tired of it already.  Went back to playing Call of Duty 4 with my friends on Xbox Live.  That&#8217;s a game I can pick up and play whenever, then stop playing soon after, unlike WoW, which requires hours and hours.

		<description><![CDATA[A young aviator lay dying
At the start of a bright summer&#8217;s day
To the mechanics assembled around him
These few parting words he did say
Take the cyllinder out of my kidneys
The connecting rod out of my brain
From the small of back take the crankshaft
And assemble the engine again

I just got back on Monday from my awesome 1,500+ mile trip to Mesa Verde.  My last day consisted of me driving some 650 miles (!) from Gallup, New Mexico to Los [...]]]></description>

And I&#8217;ll make it there, Lord willing!  Well, still have to work out the technicalities.  I&#8217;m honestly willing to sleep in my car the whole way, but campsites would be better.  Need to plan!

I was going to complain about being mocked, but you know what, screw them.

It feels like I&#8217;ve lost a job.  I guess it&#8217;s easy to feel that way after you get a phone call telling you how much the job is offering you, and that you&#8217;ll be sent [...]]]></description>
