		<title>Pop-Up Art, Dude</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh yeah, my Pop-Up Art Loop installation is done! About this time last week I was just getting ready to head downtown with David to build a wall and hang my prints. It was not easy, but it was fun, and we ate a lot of hot dogs. He took the above photos, as well [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sick of the GOP, Sick of Liberals, Sick of Me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve fallen ill, just in time for school. Luckily today is Labor Day. Fitting, as walking to the kitchen and making toast has been pretty hard work. I watched &#8220;The Wild One&#8221; today and found it entertaining but also pretty dumb. Why couldn&#8217;t they make the pictures in color? But seriously. I guess you really [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wack Riders</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A month or two ago I was tipped off regarding a design contest being held here in Chicago for the first-ever Wells Street Fall Festival in Old Town. The prize was $500 and it seemed like an under-marketed contest, so I figured I&#8217;d give it a shot and maybe take on some light competition. I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Salt Future</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We did it! 3800 miles and a lot of crappy (see: great) motels + food without a single problem. It was pretty much everything I expected it to be. My car has never been more awesome. I&#8217;ll post more thoughts and pictures as they come to me and as the video editing begins, but the [...]]]></description>

We&#8217;re collaging text and images from various home &#38; garden magazines into our own piece, called &#8220;Passages: Number 2&#8243; (Akemi recently finished work on another piece called &#8220;Passages&#8220;) &#8230; We came across this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lost Blogs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just went through all of my unpublished blog drafts in a most pointed example of doing pointless stuff to avoid doing what must actually be done at the moment. Here are the complete texts from the forgotten waste: leftovers that were deemed too mundane even for this blog! 05.11.2010 I just rode my bike [...]]]></description>

		<title>Untitled Utopia Story Part II</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was so hot last night that I actually slept with my fan. No, not like that, like this: I had just done laundry earlier in the evening, so I didn&#8217;t even bother putting sheets on the bed. I figured the bare mattress would be a bit cooler, and it was. All things considered, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pop-Up Art Loop!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It looks like I&#8217;ve been selected to show the LE prints as a part of the Chicago Loop Alliance&#8217;s Pop-Up Art Loop program! That&#8217;s cool. Basically, they take empty storefronts in downtown Chicago and let artists install their work in the windows. I&#8217;m not sure if it was started as a response to the shaky [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Make Pie With A Little Help From My Friends</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The above headline was the original &#8220;clever&#8221; idea for the entry about my Spaghetti-O pizza&#8230; No wonder I forgot it. (Lizzie The Awesome Landlord gave me the dough from her fridge, so I really did make it with help from friends though.) Today I was riding my bike downtown to get a few things done [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had a really funny, clever title for this entry in mind earlier today, but I&#8217;ve completely forgotten what it was. Ah well. It was a pretty nice weekend, today especially. Akemi took the above photo, I guess. It was in my camera when I went to download these pictures: I guess it&#8217;s not obvious [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pre-Life Crisis (Untitled Utopia Story Part I)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m writing this story as it comes to me, and posting it here, so it&#8217;s probably not going to be very polished. Fun experiment though. &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212; Birthdays never meant much to me. Well, that&#8217;s not entirely true. I am sort of an only child, so I got great presents and lots of attention back when [...]]]></description>

		<title>Summer is great, I really like it</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just got back from a short stay on the West Coast. I was showing Liz around for what was her second visit to California, the first of her adult life, and her first-ever trip to southern California. Highlights were plentiful, but I think the most relevant tale to tell here has very little to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Slamaroni and Cheese (Slammerole?)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was pretty good. Akemi and I ate it while watching MOON, which was also pretty good. It started off a bit shaky, as if they were going for some cheesy mid-2000s technology-horror vibe (think The Ring), but it quickly straightened out into a thoughtful and entertaining journey to the center of the human condition.

		<title>Food Ideas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had two ideas for the cookbook, but a quick google search led me to find that my most exciting idea had already been done: Spaghetti-O Pizza. I&#8217;ll figure out some variation that is uniquely mine. Basically I want to open a can of something, put it on something else, and then add cheese and [...]]]></description>

They aren&#8217;t much for verbosity &#8212; the application requires a 300-character (approx. 50 word) general artist statement (written in the third person) and a 150-word [...]]]></description>

I just finished working as a TA for one of those three-week courses with Stephen Farrell, which was great. I really enjoy being in the classroom in that position of [...]]]></description>
