		<description><![CDATA[You know that feeling you get when you&#8217;re angry with your life and the world? The one that makes you sick of everything, that makes you feel like simultaneously roaring with your entire being and crying with what little is left of your sapped energy? You know that feeling, the one that makes you want [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Working on Bella&#8217;s Bookshelves has made me read more about the publishing world in general. All I read these days are the incredibly copious obits of indie bookshops and the constant proclamations of how ereaders and ebooks are revolutionizing our reading habits and bookselling trends. One of the pros of ereaders, apparently, is that they [...]]]></description>

I am sitting conspicuously at my desk at the clinic, grossly aware of the diminutive elderly patient waiting across from me and the [...]]]></description>

You pokes holes in your eraser with your [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been having a strange week. Last Friday I had the day off, which I really did mean to spend proofreading since I have a nice big job due on the 21st, but which I instead spent in several chairs for several hours at a hair salon. Since November, I&#8217;ve changed my hairstyle four times [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Meditation, the kind where you just sit or lie still and breathe deeply and try to empty your mind or focus on one thing for a while, is really hard for me. I can&#8217;t do it. It seems an invitation for my mind to start leaping everywhere as if in defiance, and then I just [...]]]></description>

Classical 96.3 fm, to be precise. I mention it because this station has been the soundtrack to my life: I&#8217;ve listened to it since I was a very young [...]]]></description>
