		<title>Thor: Not My Superhero</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After being thwarted by opening weekend opportunities, I caught Thor on Monday night.  I was pretty disappointed and I&#8217;ve been struggling to understand why that might be, considering the acclaim that it has received, both from the real critics, and the comic community.  I think I&#8217;ve narrowed down why it didn&#8217;t resonate with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quick Review: Game of Thrones Episode 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It made me want to read the books again, so it couldn&#8217;t have been that bad.
There wasn&#8217;t much to recommend it, however.  I have no idea how you could have followed much of it if you hadn&#8217;t read the books, and I certainly don&#8217;t know why you&#8217;d bother with the second episode.  I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<title>C2E2 2011 Recaps: The Panels</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tiny Intro: this is one of (hopefully) several bits of recaps from my experiences at the 2011 Chicago Comics &#038; Entertainment Expo.  Most of this was written on the train home. The rest has been tweaked a week or so later as I found a bit of time to post things.

		<title>TL4T: When The Hive Mind Panics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Spending time in train stations and crowded convention halls last weekend, I&#8217;ve seen the &#8220;hive mind&#8221; of what&#8217;s left of our animal instinct kick in.  One person gets up without provocation to stand in line. Then 3, then virtually everyone. Those who stay behind start to panic that they&#8217;ve missed something.  Masses of [...]]]></description>

		<title>TL4T: The future of bookstores</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You know how in Demolition Man every restaurant was a Taco Bell?  I think bookstores are headed the same way. Soon every bookstore will be an amazon access point.  &#8220;Books&#8221; will just piles of Kindles artfully arranged to display covers.

Today is the first weekend of AMC&#8217;s Best Picture Showcase.  I&#8217;ll be watching 5 of the 10 films nominated for best picture for the 2011 Oscars.  Between showings, I&#8217;ll be coming back here to give you my impressions.  If you catch the post between viewings, all that extra cruft is because [...]]]></description>

		<title>2011 Best Picture Showcase: The Setup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As ultimately pointless as it may be, I&#8217;ve always liked watching the Oscars with a well-formed opinion on who and what is the worthiest of awards. Back in the day, movie-going was one of our main hobbies/social endeavors, so chances are we saw most everything that was being nominated.  It may have been a [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Look Ahead: 2011</title>
		<description><![CDATA[2010 is officially over now. I&#8217;ve been meaning to talk to you about it for months, but life got in the way.  It&#8217;ll be a bit more concise now. Lucky you.
If the second half of 2010 had a theme, it was Challenge is the New Black. A couple of months ago something snapped and [...]]]></description>

		<title>NaNoReMo 2010: What the What?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No, that&#8217;s not a typo or a phonetic respelling of how I pronounce nanowrimo.  I&#8217;m mixing it up and doing something a bit different this year.  Instead of writing a 50k word novel during the month of November, I&#8217;m celebrating National Novel Reading Month.  
I can&#8217;t do NaNoWriMo this year.  Not [...]]]></description>
