		<description><![CDATA[I just got a call from a telemarketer (a recorded call, the most evil variety) and so I called AT&#38;T to make certain they weren&#8217;t selling my phone number to telemarketing firms. After waiting a couple minutes on hold, I was asked to &#8220;verify my identity&#8221; by providing the last 4 digits of my Social [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Molly and I have been watching the original Star Wars movies. Her favourite is Return of the Jedi &#8212; I think the Ewoks are what does it for her.

She&#8217;s also facinated with how Darth Vader decides to be a good guy at the end.

But since I really want her to eat her vegetables, I&#8217;ve decided that from now on, dinner will begin with a plate of vegetables. If Molly eats them, she may have her dinner. If she doesn&#8217;t eat them, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The other day Anna and I went to see Transformers 2 in spite of having read the io9 review: Michael Bay Finally Made An Art Movie. We were prepared for something special.
