		<title>The American Spirit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems that New Zealand has a way of inspiring me to write. It’s not that I don’t have anything to write about in Australia, or that I don’t like Australia (that’s absolutely not the case &#8212; I love it here and was very excited to get my permanent residency in June). There was just [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Quick Catchup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, since the captain of this flight from Hamilton Island to Brisbane has very unkindly decided to turn inland and stop flying over coral and beautiful sandy islands, I&#8217;ve decided it&#8217;s time to write a blog post. That, and the fact that I&#8217;ve been doing an awful lot of travel recently but this poor blog [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sunsets &amp; Star Trails</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes, yes, I know it&#8217;s been a little while since I&#8217;ve blogged. A lot has happened in the past 8 months or so, and I&#8217;d love to catch up on all of it, but I honestly don&#8217;t know if I can. In the meantime, this post will just have to be enough proof that I [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Week of Storms, Birthdays, and Parties</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nearly a month ago, both James&#8217; and my birthdays rolled around. It&#8217;s pretty funny that our birthdays are only one day apart; it&#8217;s also amusing that James uses this as an excuse to say he&#8217;s not actually a year younger than me. No no no&#8230;he&#8217;s 364 days younger! Anyway, the whole week around our birthdays [...]]]></description>

		<title>Guitar Hero: World Tour</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know this post is nerdy, but I originally intended it to be part of a larger post. However, I&#8217;m exhausted tonight and don&#8217;t have the energy to write a lot&#8230; Anyway, about a month ago now, I bought a copy of Guitar Hero: World Tour. The way I got it wasn&#8217;t exactly as I [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Car, Attempt #2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A lot has happened in the month since I updated. I&#8217;m hoping to write a few short posts to summarize all of the important things, but then again, I&#8217;ve been hoping to write this post for nearly a month as it is, so I wouldn&#8217;t take that as a promise. As most of you know, [...]]]></description>

		<title>What I&#8217;ve Been Up To</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes, it&#8217;s been ages since I&#8217;ve updated, and I apologise. A lot of things have happened in the last month that I probably should have written about, but never got around to because I was always too exhausted to write by the time I thought about updating my partly-written draft. First and foremost, I am [...]]]></description>

		<title>In the Aftermath of Ike</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As Houston slowly tries to pick its way out of the mess that Hurricane Ike created on Saturday, here&#8217;s my own side of the story: Luckily my mother was able to evacuate and spend a few days with family in the north of Houston. This kept her away from the storm surge but the eye [...]]]></description>

		<title>Scary</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This satellite image is just scary, especially when you notice that the hurricane is actually the size of Texas itself. Even worse is the fact that I watch the news here and see waves splashing over the familiar seawall in Galveston like it wasn&#8217;t a 17-foot barrier to the sea. My family is safe and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finally Out and About Again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m happy to say that my back has steadily improved since my last post, and I am now at the point where I don&#8217;t constantly feel it, although if I do much of anything it still steadily starts tightening up. Still, I&#8217;ll take what I can get and be happy that I can function in [...]]]></description>
