He looked around hastily at the others, with a bashful grin on his face. Was it Chopin? He saw them all deciding, staring at each other, frowning or nodding, some leaning to whisper. There was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To end the chiefly spiteful/sickly BlogWeek on a positive note, The Cupboard has just release its latest volume: Lorraine Nelson: A Biography in Post-it Notes. This was the winner of our first-ever contest, and it&#8217;s also (essentially) our first-ever work of nonfiction. A happy union. It&#8217;s about a person who may be real and a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The problem with The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is the problem with all the past alternate Zeldas: redundant parts that get tedious and turn play into chores. Start with Ocarina of Time which is flawless. God, remember Ocarina of Time? Yes, there was that wacky goosechase/errand boy mini-quest where you had to pass successive [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From the end of the fall term until last week, I read 1Q84 (pronounced, right?, /kyoo-teen/ eighty-four?), and I regret the time spent on it. It&#8217;s 925 pages. By the end I felt I&#8217;d wasted a lot of good hours on a book that should have been 325 pages. Is it a problem with late-career [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been sick this weekend with a throat thing and a chills/body-aches thing. Prescribed Chloraseptic throat spray has been mostly unhelpful, but 1000mg acetaminophen every four hours did fine work on the fever/chills/aches. Before hearing from the on-call doctor that acetaminophen (which, like &#8220;Chloroseptic&#8221; I&#8217;d prefer to spell with another &#8220;o&#8221;) was best for body [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve got recent news and things to go over, and I&#8217;ll do them once a day this week, like vitamins we&#8217;ll all take to resurrect our blogging health. Stay tuned, friends.
