		<title>Review:  Shutter Island</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Usually I tend to spend quite a bit of time with movie reviews, but for this one&#8230;. not so much.
I was somehow under the &#8220;Horror Movie&#8221; impression going in and came out with a &#8220;Psychological.&#8221;  I thought it would fit under &#8220;Psychological Thriller,&#8221; but I cannot say it was that thrilling or edge of seat [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many of you have heard that Starbucks has offered a 32 oz beverage size to compete with McDonalds.  Termed the &#8220;trenta,&#8221; this size is being test marketed in California.
We in the Nation&#8217;s Capital are calling for a larger size for those long commutes into the city.  We suggest the &#8220;secchio.&#8221;  Italian for Bucket or Pail, [...]]]></description>

		<title>The End of Blockbuster?????</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Late Fees?  Kind of.
I was at my local Blockbuster Video and saw some pretty yellow signs posted all over the store.  Here are the key points of the changes&#8230;

As of 3/1/10, Blockbuster has basically ended &#8220;the end of late fees.&#8221;

Movies kept past the due date [...]]]></description>

		<title>Backpack Suggestion?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a Swiss Army brand back pack for a little over a year and the main pocket bottom stitching has come apart and I have a big hole in it.  I have come to expect great quality based on the Swiss Army knife I have had for close to 20 years, but don&#8217;t expect [...]]]></description>

		<title>Read All Fine Print in Rental Lease</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I will leave the management company anonymous as it would be my luck that they would sue me for saying the following&#8230;.
Read the entire lease in the presence of the leasing agent.
While I don&#8217;t usually read the entire lease, I will from this point on.  I will also do it while the leasing agent is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Snow in DC :)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay&#8230;I am hoping that if you live in the area, or watched the news across the country, you know that DC received close to 16&#8243; of snow between Friday noon and 5 PM today.
Shopping
Making trips to the local supermarket were fun.  Not really to buy anything, but to see how barren the shelves were.  I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sasquach on Metro?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I could not help staring at what appeared to be a brown bare foot on the metro last night.  In fact, I had to ask the gentleman wearing them &#8220;Are you from this planet?&#8221;  All jokes aside, I was strangely intriqued by his footwar and looking at the rest of his clothing, seeing some elite, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While I cannot go into detail to protect privacy, I was talking with a friend the other day and they mentioned that as a chef they are able to charge close to $600 for a Homemade Pie.  I just thought this was both astounding and amazing.  I still am in disbelief.  But&#8230;if you produce a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Golden cows?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[All cows going organic? 
Last night I stopped at the local Harris Teeter grocery store to get milk and check out my staples and occasional temptations for sales.  While I love raspberries, I refuse to spend over $2.50 a pint.  I have been known to stock up when the price drops below $2. [...]]]></description>
