	<description>The (possibly eternal) quest for a Ph.D. Art, music, teaching, crafting, bitching, thinking, sarcasm, tinkering, critiquing, changing, philosophizing, laughing, ranting, motivation, inspiration, searching, giving up, trying again, living.</description>

		<title>Review: Ash, by Malinda Lo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Originally posted on Associated Content. Check it out there and leave me some feedback. Ash is the first book by new author Malinda Lo, a retelling of the Cinderella story with the dark influence of Celtic faerie mythology and several new twists. Aisling, called Ash for short, is the Cinderella analogue of the story, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>ATC Dump #1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently realized that I have a ton of older ATCs that I never posted. Rather than post descriptions and info for all of these, I&#8217;m just going to throw them up and you can click on them for more information. I&#8217;ll probably do 2 or 3 of these. It should be pretty evident which [...]]]></description>

		<title>Geeky ATCs, part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Alright, it&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve posted anything crafty, so be prepared for an onslaught of photos. To keep my posts from getting obscenely long, I&#8217;ll break things up into several posts throughout the week. Today is a study in my persistent state of geekiness. Swap: Sci-Fi TV ATC Series: Firefly/Serenity [angeled for user2637] [...]]]></description>

		<title>Summer Reading List 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This week, for the first time in several years, I stayed up until 3 A.M. reading a book. A fiction book, at that! It used to be a pretty regular occurrence, a way of life while I was in high school and the early years of college. For the past few years, though, I&#8217;ve just [...]]]></description>

		<title>Graduation #2, Master of Arts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I have a really good reason for being completely and utterly absent since early May! Yes, that&#8217;s me after getting my master&#8217;s hood. I made it. The month of May was consumed by end of semester insanity: grading, crisis handling, and moments of panic that I wouldn&#8217;t actually graduate due to my (now former) [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Moment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today a fourth year at my university was murdered by a fellow student. The e-mails from the counseling center are rolling in, telling me that so many of my students will not be taking their exam because they were close with either the victim or the murderer. One of my students was the one who [...]]]></description>

		<title>Free Comics &amp; Flying Pigs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s that lovely time of year that makes everyone in academia do a special little dance of insanity. Classes end this coming Tuesday, and everyone&#8217;s out of their minds &#8211; myself included, of course. As my brain is currently filled to capacity, today&#8217;s post may turn out to be blathering nonsense. We shall see! Words, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Earth Day 2010!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Happy Earth Day, everyone! In honor of our gorgeous planet, I want to share a little recycling project that I&#8217;ve been working on, as well as some link love for our green crafting community. For the past month or so, I&#8217;ve been challenging myself to look at everything I throw away and decide if it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Link Love #1 + Firefly Comic</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently participated in an e-swap where swappers with home-based businesses could network, exchange stories, and share links to websites and blogs. I really enjoyed seeing what other people are doing, and it&#8217;s been very inspiring for my soon-to-be business. I wanted to share some links to my partners&#8217; sites and blogs because they all [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rocky Horror ATCs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A while ago I participated in a Rocky Horror Picture Show ATC swap, two ATCs to one partner. I knew that I didn&#8217;t want to just slap the red lips on a card and call it done, but it took me a while to really come up with a solid idea. After a bit of [...]]]></description>
