While I applaud the family for encouraging their kid to think about marketing and gender expectations, I find myself more than a little bit [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I got this phone in February of 2006. It was pretty awesome, so I stuck a couple of foil daisy stickers on it to make it awesomer. They didn&#8217;t stay very well, but they were cute while they lasted. I got this phone from a shady discount-cellular-and-tobacco store on East Truman Road, about a block [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Do you ever read something and just find your face stuck like this ? Yeah, so I read a woman&#8217;s blog entry recently that just made one eye squinch up, while the other bugged out, and my mouth perhaps went &#8220;wha&#8217; th&#8217;&#8230;you have got to be kidding me&#8230;the hell you say&#8230;&#8221; and maybe something incoherent [...]]]></description>

So today, there were a really cute pair of shorts on the sidebar&#8230;neon green and shocking pink diamond patterned hotpants.

He was riding an IRO fixie, which would have been supremely difficult (if not somewhat dangerous) to try to play Friz on. So various among us were [...]]]></description>

This guy took a wrong turn&#8230;pulled in to the Community College campus off 31st Street when he probably meant to take a right on to Broadway. So, instead of cutting through campus to [...]]]></description>

She gets to work (she&#8217;s a schoolteacher at this point) the heating stove refuses to draw, resulting in a cold, smoky classroom. The kids are all plagued with midwinter cabin fever [...]]]></description>
