		<description><![CDATA[Dear unwanted anarchists, the only point you are proving is that of a fear-mongering media. If you want the already suspicious older demographics of this beautiful city to be frightened, you win. If you want the younger folk who try to make Pittsburgh a better place pissed off and disappointed in the rest of their generation, you win. If you want the baton-happy, out-of-state, shake-n-bake police state we have in town for the weekend to use your actions as an excuse (as one local encouraged them on the news) to "kick some ass, boys." you fucking win.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some bands manage to get to the part in the story where they can throw together a decent set, communicate on that higher level, and give the audience the best night they'll ever have until they have it again. Other bands get past that part, where they so fully understand what the music is, and that they have less and less to do with the music the higher the audience is lifted; they simply let what they have crafted work for them. The Decemberists made it look easier than a dream.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Building the shed was a really cool excercise in problem solving and general gusto. Everyone fell into a role, and we all worked together pretty well. After we had hucked about forty cinder blocks into place and put the plywood decking in place, we were forced to confront the fact that we only sorta leveled the frame. Our solution? Shims, drill new holes in the frame and muscle the panels into place. It worked. For a modular sheet metal shed, I was surprised how often we had to muscle panels into place (even after we finally leveled it), and I am also surprised I only have one (superficial) cut on my hand. I am also surprised that Flex, an engineer, went to school for five years and still managed to put in the roof beams upside down.]]></description>

Sorry Ma, I&#8217;m totally excusing my penchant for alcohol and adventure.

Like so many people I know, I got smacked hard with one of the nasty bugs goin&#8217; round. My head still feels like an overinflated balloon, but the whole waking up four times a night phase is thankfully over. Between that, a bit of the seasonal slows, a dead internet for the last couple [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Name any "hit" Radiohead song, and I'll probably tell you it's a gust of hot alternarock air. But while "Electioneering" is a bit of an anachronism within Ok Computer, it presages the full brunt of Bush-era insecurities several years beforehand. So, given the fact that that album is so "ahead of its time", let's put it into a total context and agree that "Electioneering" is a badass rock song which also happens to epitomize the callow irony that so many intellectuals hide behind in the face of Politics as Usual.]]></description>

I trounced J so hard on the pool table, he chose to express his love for the place by disappearing and leaving me to take care of B, who brought a flask. The only time I saw the flask was when he was trying to pour its non-existent contents into his empty plastic cup. I'll have to watch him more closely next time, but at least now I know he is fully capable of falling asleep standing up.]]></description>
