		<title>Review, Part One: Hector&#8217;s on Henderson</title>
		<description><![CDATA[That we pulled up to the valet at Victor Tango&#8217;s only to find that we faced over an hour wait at 10pm on a Saturday should be catalogued as &#8220;Obvious Foreshadowing&#8221;. Having already parked the car we opted for the next most convenient option, Hector&#8217;s. Years ago, when this adorable little restaurant-in-a-house opened on Henderson, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Welcome Back, Cotter.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So&#8230; it&#8217;s been about a year since I wrote anything that wasn&#8217;t for a class or for work. Suffice it to say I&#8217;ve been itching for a more appropriate outlet for my personal musings for some time. Which is why I&#8217;m very excited to announce the (long awaited, much anticipated) re-commissioning of my personal blog. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bar Review: Victor Tango&#039;s</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are drinks, and then there are Cocktails. This place serves the latter. As I sit down to write this it occurs to me that I&#8217;ll be prone to what will sound like superfluous language (as is often the case, regardless). Having now had plenty of time to mull over my experience the night of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Welcome to Beaver Creek!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Haven&#8217;t had a lot of opportunity to take photos fun enough to warrant a blog or Facebook posting (this changes today, we&#8217;ll be horseback riding). But when I woke up to an empty house this morning I couldn&#8217;t resist the opportunity to give an undistracted tour of this incredible place we&#8217;re staying. Little did I [...]]]></description>

		<title>I think I forgot how&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I continue to make efforts to get myself back into the swing of writing regularly, I&#8217;ll attempt to give a quick and dirty accounting of what&#8217;s been happening in my life recently: In regards to school: Finished up my one remaining class for the Spring after dropping French like a douche. I&#8217;ve come to [...]]]></description>

		<title>If&#8230; (Weeks 21 and 22)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you could make a gift of one thing to any single person alive today, who would it be, what would give them, and how would you present it to them? I&#8217;ve struggled with this one for some time. Sans a more symbolic and profound answer, I give you this: I&#8217;d present my brother with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Holiday Party Week from Hell, pt. 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I&#8217;ve just decided that this impromptu blogging sabbatical I&#8217;ve taken is capped at 2 months&#8230; and golly-gee-whiz if that isn&#8217;t today. The story of what kept me too busy to blog over the holiday party season follows: Monday: Meeting a new boy and a surprise birthday dinner&#8230; After psuedo-stalking an incredibly attractive guy for [...]]]></description>

		<title>The one where school fails to acknowledge that I have a life&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wish I had time to write a full post&#8230; or even an If&#8230; post. But here&#8217;s my week explained in equation form, for clarity: (finals + paper writing marathon + work)^9 x other dumb shit! = out of time/brain death. So I don&#8217;t. Ever. In an effort to compensate, I&#8217;ll attempt to tweet a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here are weeks 19 and 20 of Nick&#8217;s If&#8230; Project. I clearly had no idea what I was getting into when I signed up for this&#8230; but it certainly has proven interesting. This weeks questions are some of the best so far. If your home were to be totally destroyed by fire but you could [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Religious Zealotry&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a dream a few nights ago, and though I don&#8217;t frequently remember my dreams, this one stands out vividly because I awoke from it very disturbed. There was more too it than this little excerpt, and the details become more fuzzy as the days go by, but the part that I remember best [...]]]></description>
