		<title>I&#8217;m OK, Just Behind</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m still around, if anyone&#8217;s wondering. Last week&#8217;s delay wasn&#8217;t my situation, per se. A friend of mine has been floating around in a bad roomie situation lately, so I made a one-night reservation at a hotel nearby and went up to visit. It got her out of the house for one night to destress [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finished&#8230; technically.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve finished First and Last and Always, but an unfortunate situation has come up and I haven&#8217;t transferred all of my handwritten bits to the computer yet. After that I have to code it up for the web, which will take a little bit longer.
Expect it Monday or Tuesday.
Sorry for the lateness.

		<title>Notes from the Void #3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This post seems to have turned up a small technical glitch in the website. I&#8217;ve fixed it now, but it may have shown up twice somehow.
Usually I prefer to let people explore the Brain Food links unguided and draw their own conclusions, but I think Don Peck&#8217;s How a New Jobless Era Will Transform America [...]]]></description>

		<title>Notes From the Void #2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wild Cards, for those of you unfamiliar with it, is a series of shared-universe books where a space-alien germ bomb was set off over New York City on September 15, 1946. The virus, dubbed &#8220;Xenovirus Takis-A&#8221;, killed 90% of the people it infected (they &#8220;draw the Black Queen&#8221;). Of the survivors, 90% were horribly mutated [...]]]></description>

		<title>Elves, by Ten-Chan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Back near the beginning of the month, I asked Ten-Chan to illustrate her pick of the four Elves versions, leaving most of the specifics open to her best artistic judgment. Yesterday morning (I suppose I should say &#8220;Monday morning&#8221;, by now), I opened my laptop to find her finished art waiting for me, and I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Notes From the Void #1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So&#8230; this is my first Notes from the Void, the name for the posts I discussed last week. I&#8217;ve decided against making it a strictly-weekly feature; to keep them from overwhelming the site by sheer numbers, I&#8217;ll only post them on weeks where I don&#8217;t add other content (reviews, fiction, illustrations, etc).
It&#8217;s very fashionable right [...]]]></description>

		<title>We Are Experiencing Creative Difficulties. Please Stand By.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Originally I planned to release First and Last and Always in time for the new year. I&#8217;ve been working on it, on and off, for about two years now, and I&#8217;m more than a little tired of having it on my plate for this long. At the moment it is pretty close to finished, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>YaoiCon 2009 &#8211; Closing Thoughts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is really a post to include more pictures and say all the things that I wanted to say, but couldn&#8217;t fit into the flow of the other posts. It&#8217;s likely to be a little bit discombobulated.

Tahdig! I think that only makes sense if you&#8217;re one of the three people I spoke with about it, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Café Verführen: Because I Believe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Most YaoiCon attendees never visit the third floor of the hotel, unless they have rooms there. I don&#8217;t blame them. The con program doesn&#8217;t mention the treasure hidden up there. I don&#8217;t know whether this is a deliberate snub or one of those complications of printing schedules and hotel management, but it&#8217;s a shame either [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Survived YaoiCon 2009!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I survived YaoiCon 2009 without any unfortunate molestation incidents. Apparently that particular miscreant is one of the &#8220;Official Bishonen&#8221; now. I&#8217;m going to try very hard not to think too much about that.
Other than that, I had a good time, took a handful of nice pictures, and met a lot of wonderful people, though I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>
