<title>White oskmas!</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I woke up feeling older. Not really, but the calendar says I am, and who am I to argue.<br />
It's my birthday, and it's snowing outside and actually sticking to things, which is rare in London, especially in April, when my birthday is. Today. There's a metaphor there, but I've not long woken up.</p>

<p>Methinks I now officially start pushing-thirty. Also, today begins my latest drive to actually start using this thing again.</p>

<p>A lot has happened since the previous posts, but you'll just have to rent series 26 and 27 on DVD.</p>]]></description>

<title>Fromage</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>If I were a cheese I'd be a neufchâtel—a traditional soft, white table cheese from Normandy in France. Neufchâtel smells and tastes of mushrooms. It has a dry, velvety rind, and a grainy texture. When mature, Neufchâtel develops a bitter, slaty, acrid taste.</p>

<p>What cheese be you? <a href="http://www.astradyne.co.uk/cheese/" target="_blank">http://www.astradyne.co.uk/cheese/</a></p>]]></description>

<title>The Religious Right Was Right All Along</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Bible-totin' Christians have tried to warn us all along of the dangers that relaxing the definition of marriage to include gay couples would entail. Over and over they tried to explain how by allowing this one aberration we'd be opening the floodgates for unspeakable and unnatural depravities to seep in and irreversibly stain the fabric of our God fearing society. Well I'll be damned, <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/4748292.stm" target="_blank">the fuckers were right</a>. </p>]]></description>

<title>Will Paint for Food</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>The <a  href="http://www.cooperartsale.org/" target="_blank">Cooper Union Student Art Sale and Silent Auction</a> is going on this weekend, December 16-18.</p>

<p>Stop by and get your hands on some fine works of art created by some of the best (and hungriest) art students in the nation. (Part of the proceeds also go to the School of Art so it may continue to nourish these young artists' souls—if not their stomachs.)</p>]]></description>

<title>Christmas Spirit</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="processcheesefood.jpg" src="http://www.xtranger.com/blogsk/img/processcheesefood.jpg" width="500" height="274" /></p>

<p>I don't know about you, but for me nothing brings the spirit of Christmas alive the way a block of Processed Cheese Food can. This block, courtesy of one of our gracious vendors at work, is also Pausterized, so I can eat it by the truckload with confidence.</p>

<p><i>Deck the halls with blocks of Cheese Food, fala lalala... la la. la. la...</i></p>]]></description>

<title>Sparks Fly</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="amp_room.jpg" src="http://www.xtranger.com/blogsk/img/amp_room.jpg" width="500" height="150" /></p>

<p>Congratulations are in order to my roomie, Randy Gibson, and his collaborator Johari Mayfield, whose piece <b>Room</b> was selected for the <a href="http://spark.cla.umn.edu/" target="_blank">2006 Spark Festival</a> in Minessota. This honor was in no doubt attributed to the submission packet I designed for them (snippet above), but I do think credit should be given to the work as well, which is rather good.</p>]]></description>
