		<title>I have returned from ARGFest-o-Con 2009!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had so much fun that I&#8217;m already looking forward to next year&#8217;s ARGFest.
Friday: driving, giant robot head, robot speed dating, booze
Not much to say about the drive down to Portland other than that I made good time, it was hot, and the last 10 miles took half an hour because of traffic. Also, a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today I went to City Hall to attend a hearing on whether or not the city should grant a special license to Planned Parenthood to open their second clinic in the whole local area (about 230,000 people, the size of Orlando, FL, Norfolk, VA, or Baton Rouge, LA).
I almost didn&#8217;t go &#8212; I really didn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

The thought of my mom going into Hot Topic to find this stuff (three pairs of fingerless gloves, one lace/fishnet, a pick, a guitar patch, and &#8220;Rock the Arts&#8221; mints) for me really made my weekend.

		<title>On obscuring a narrative, and the benefits thereof</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is my Cloverfield review. It's going to get long-winded, and quite probably very off-track at some points. It's also going to have spoilers, so stay above the fold if you want to remain pure.

 My main expectation for the film was that there would be a giant monster involved, though I'd speculated that they might manage to never actually show us the whole thing, just suggestions, fleeting glimpses, and aftermath at best. Giant monster: check. From here on out, spoilers.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Amazon.com &#8211; Reinventing the Book
Today the Amazon Kindle was officially announced to the public.
Feel free to take everything I say with a grain of salt &#8212; I will be the first to admit I have a bias &#8212; but I honestly think that if anyone could make ebooks a successful business model, it&#8217;d be Amazon.
When [...]]]></description>

		<title>in this fateful hour</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll be surprised if anyone reading this hasn&#8217;t already heard this news already, but Madeleine L&#8217;Engle died of natural causes yesterday at the age of 88.
Like the Dark is Rising sequence, A Wrinkle in Time, A Wind in the Door, and A Swiftly Tilting Planet were treasures of my childhood. Later on, I picked up [...]]]></description>

		<title>Black or white?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, a blog can&#8217;t live on book reviews alone. I&#8217;ve got a post written up about Territory and a couple of other books I&#8217;ve read recently, but in the meantime, Rudy Giuliani scares me.
This ties in to the thoughts I&#8217;ve been having recently, trying to sort out my own political position in a way that [...]]]></description>

		<title>The sign of the albino toucan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just finished Mainspring, by Jay Lake, and I thought I&#8217;d write up a short review since I&#8217;m trying to keep this blog, uh, respectable in content.
Mainspring is a book about a universe made of clockwork. Our hero, Hethor Jacques, starts off as a humble clockmaker&#8217;s apprentice (a job field fraught with controversy, as some [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gathering no moss</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Look, it&#8217;s my very own blog! Still very uncustomized, and it looks a little funny being named &#8220;Galactic Drift&#8221; with the nice green theme I picked, but for now it&#8217;s good enough.
Currently I work at Amazon.com, and while I enjoy getting a paycheck every 2 weeks (hourly, not salaried, blah), I find a ridiculous portion [...]]]></description>
