		<description><![CDATA[I used to read almost a hundred books a year. Sometimes more, but the 80-100 range is where I usually stayed. Funny the things you take for granted. My experience as a child and young adult reader (with sincere but nevertheless slightly affected precocious tastes) was of weekends lost to the pages of books, and of weeknights disappearing into an unexpected dawn as I finally finished the books I could not put down. Then I would creep out of bed and pull away the towel I always stuffed beneath the door in order to keep my parents from spotting the light. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I'm coming up on four years as a freelancer, and in all that time I'm not sure I've ever had a proper vacation. Under-employment, which was my status the first two years, is not the same thing as having time off. You have the luxury of taking the day to play games or go hang out in a coffee shop nursing a single latte (they love it when you do that, by the way), but that free time carries feelings of guilt. "Why aren't you pitching?" is a constant refrain. And if you ever hope to be more than under-employed, chances are you work harder at getting work than you would if you had a steady job.

		<description><![CDATA[Last weekend some friends of ours got married in one of the best ceremonies and celebrations I've ever seen, but that wedding also meant two other things. The first is that MK's summer break was over, and she had to leave to do the second part of her extended internship. It also meant that I didn't get any work done over that weekend, which meant that three days' worth of work had to be crammed into Monday and the early part of Tuesday. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One thing I didn't see too much of in the first week of this season: hard hits and stretchers. I hope this is a trend that will continue. There are times I think the NFL being dubbed the "No Fun League" makes perfect sense, and officials can be too strict or too arbitrary about how they enforce player safety regulations. I hate seeing a great defense getting dinged for 15 yards because someone fell in the QB a second after he made a pass. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You know, I could never imagine buying Sunday Ticket. When I lived near Chicago, the only thing I cared about was the Bears, and so football was a sport that only engaged me for about 3 hours a week during the season. A great game here and there might capture my attention, but I didn't really love the sport so much as I loved my team. That's how I used to approach most sports. Ferrari and Michael Schumacher, not F1. Jordan, Pippen, and the Bulls, but not basketball. I think one reason I never got into baseball is that the Chicago teams were mediocre to disappointing throughout my childhood. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK, I lied. It's actually the wee small hours of the 10th right now. I'm up late waiting for Windows 7 to install for a second time. The first time it didn't clear away the hard drive, and I really didn't feel like rooting out all the old files from the previous installation.

Tomorrow is likely to be grim, but hopefully I'll be going into it with a vastly superior gaming rig. Some great friends spotted me a new power supply and a GTX 560 video card, and I just bought myself an ASUS 27-inch monitor, along with 8 gigs of RAM, and the 64-bit version of Windows 7. This should get me through to next year, at least. Longer, if consoles keep acting as an anchor on hardware requirements. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There's a lot to like about Deus Ex: Human Revolution. It has the style and mood of Christopher Nolan's post-Insomnia work: a moody action epic with brains, one that's as interested in characters as it is in firefights and explosions. From the opening titles, Michael McCann's score evokes Hans Zimmer's work on films like Inception and Dark Knight, shot through with strains of Vangelis.

But there is one area where Human Revolution starts to look like a second-rate blockbuster: it's gaudy, exhausting visuals and two-tone color visual scheme. [...]]]></description>
