		<description><![CDATA[The blog has been out of action for about 10 months or so, give or take a post or two.  Competing in IFComp 2010 took an enormous amount of effort, and I burned out hard after the competition was over.  I let pretty much all of my creative activities drop, and am just starting to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll probably be dropping down to one post per week until the end of September.  There are a couple of different reasons for this, but the main one is that I&#8217;m trying to finish up my entry for IFComp 2010.  There&#8217;s a lot of work left to do, and I&#8217;m really needing to use as [...]]]></description>

I responded: Well, she died in the bathroom, so that&#8217;s where she haunts now. I [...]]]></description>

At the swim meet, he demonstrated improved form in his freestyle, breathing [...]]]></description>
