		<title>The Hidden Value of School Libraries</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There was a disturbing article in Teleread a couple of days ago that said schools are increasingly likely to eliminate library budgets or treat them as luxuries.

		<title>Justine Larbalestier and the Case of the Whitewashed Book Cover</title>
		<description><![CDATA[IMPORTANT NOTE: I&#8217;m so pissed off about this and various episodes of -isms this month that I had to take a step back. When I returned, this post was what came out. I hope you&#8217;ll be able to forgive me for my sarcasm. I&#8217;m trying not to throw things in frustration here, so I&#8217;m writing something for the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Help the Village of Emmonak.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is basically cut and pasted from Karnythia&#8217;s blog, but I don&#8217;t want to start on a rant about Alaska&#8217;s political corruption or Sarah Palin (*shudder, shudder*), so I&#8217;m just going to give you a link so that you can read the news article: Emmonak Alaska needs help surviving the winter.

		<title>My Blood Pressure Is&#8230;WHAT?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Normally it&#8217;s 92/65 or 103/72 or something like that. It&#8217;s always been low, even when I&#8217;ve been overweight. But today I measured it at 138/75. 138! Actually I measured it again. The first time, it was insanely high at 150 or something. O.o But the machine has been known to be inacurate. Seriously, if this [...]]]></description>

		<title>14 Days and Miles to Go Before I Sleep.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am now working on the Obama campaign every single day. I&#8217;ve been making phone calls and knocking on people&#8217;s doors trying to convince them to vote for Obama since the week of the Democratic National Convention at the end of August.
