		<title>The Cone of Shame</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After at least two dozen aborted attempts to update my blog over the past year, I return to the blogosphere, tail between legs, asking all (one or two) of you (variably devoted) followers for your humble forgiveness. I shall feed your news hungry brains anew.
The following minor events occurred:

I got into UW Law, among others.

		<title>Beer review: Haandbryggeriet Norwegian Wood</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Time to start reviewing beers so I don&#8217;t forget them. I plan on using the Ratebeer scale &#8211; 10 points for aroma, 5 for appearance, 10 for flavor, 5 for palate, 20 for overall impression, then summed and normalized to a scale of 0-5.  I use the mid point as 50% percentile (i.e. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Refractory reflection</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If there&#8217;s anything I&#8217;ve learned in the past six months, it&#8217;s that home is where the heart is.  My heart never left Seattle.
I was up north for one my regular visits this past weekend.  There wasn&#8217;t a special occasion, nor were there any unusual circumstances about the visit, but something was different about this trip [...]]]></description>

		<title>woo done!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  Woo woo woo woo wooooooo!  It finally hit me this morning &#8211; my first year of law school is half done.  Time to get myself up north and rock the family, friends, powder, and the sweet sweet joy of not studying.  
Not to mention the RAWWK itself.  In a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Two days until freedom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[but one hell of a contract law final standing in my way.  Thankfully, it&#8217;s my last of four, and I&#8217;m almost looking forward to it.
Not to eulogize prematurely, but being back in school has certainly been a shock to my system &#8230; in a good way.  I feel like I&#8217;m making up for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Oh, the irony</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Bailout?  More like failout. 
http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/12/11/auto.bailout/index.html
I don&#8217;t have a lot of time to dissect this, what with my torts final coming up and all, but I actually laughed aloud when I read about it.  
Did anyone else catch the irony of the United Auto Workers&#8217; refusal to drop domestic guaranteed pay rates to parity [...]]]></description>

		<title>Because I&#8217;ve nothing better to do &#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[other than study for my three upcoming finals.  *gulp*
Chris had cows on his blog.  I, naturally, had to investigate.
Saw this on CatharticInk, thought I could do it too. Rules as follows: Go to the sixth page of your Flickr photostream and post the sixth picture on that page.
Huh, okay.  Mine isn&#8217;t of cows:

It does bring back [...]]]></description>

		<title>New puppies for the White House!  New puppies for EVERYBODY!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ I&#8217;ve made no secret of the fact that I don&#8217;t align well ideologically with President-elect Obama, but that doesn&#8217;t make me any less thrilled that he will be our 44th president come January.  His election is a powerful expression of the social progress our great country has made over the past 150 years. [...]]]></description>

		<title>American Express(ly denied credit)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It appears that the crap economy is starting to hit my credit file, after having burned and pillaged my stock portfolio, my 401(k), and my Roth IRA.  
I generally run low balances on my credit cards and pay them off every month, and have never had a late payment on any of them.  So imagine [...]]]></description>

		<title>An exercise in infuriation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m normally extremely annoyed by the sheer volume of dead tree material that ends up in my mailbox and at my doorstep, but on Friday, there was something in the pile that made me fly into a fit of rage:
A Democratic Party slate card.
Then on Saturday, a Republican Party slate card.
In these abominable documents were [...]]]></description>
