		<title>Who shall rival VT?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Back before the ACC expansion, VT had two rivalries of any significance: UVA and West Virginia.  VT happily tried to sit between the two extremes of UVA snobbishness and WVU hillbilly-ness.  Both rivalries were competitive to varying degrees throughout the years but both were &#8220;big&#8221; games every year.
For better or worse, this is no longer [...]]]></description>

		<title>El San Juan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One full day back and Christina and I are already ready to return to Puerto Rico &#8212; We had an excellent, much-needed vacation in San Juan.

We stayed in the Isla Verde area of San Juan, an area known for its excellent beaches, and they didn&#8217;t disappoint.  Not surprisingly, it is also home to many of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Castrated vampires</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Few creatures of the night have captured our imagination like vampires&#8230;
What explains our enduring fascination with vampires?
What is it about the vampire myth that explains our interest?
Is it the overtones of sexual lust, power, control&#8230;
Or is it a fascination with the immortality of the undead?
And what dark and hidden parts of our psyche are aroused [...]]]></description>

		<title>Frugality discarded</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night, my trigger finger acted faster than my frugality could intercept.  Sony finally lowered the price of the PS3 a few weeks ago which made it irresistibly tempting.  The complete lack of compelling 360-specific games coming out doesn&#8217;t help, either.  Then, I spent several hours this past weekend helping a friend get UPnP/DLNA media [...]]]></description>

		<title>Community</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Though Glee surprised me, Community is the new show that I was actually anticipating.  I don&#8217;t know if people are going to get into yet another &#8220;witty&#8221; sitcom but the pilot was pretty funny and well-cast.  Chevy Chase + John Oliver?  Absolutely.

		<title>Glee: (n) exultant high-spirited joy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every TV season, there seems to be at least one new show that comes out of nowhere and becomes the talk of the town.  If the early returns are any indication this season, that show is Glee.  Starting with your standard high-school sitcom foundation, they added on quite a bit of American Idol and High [...]]]></description>

		<title>QT Weekend Sports</title>
		<description><![CDATA[VT blew away Marshall with their high-powered offense.  Nice showing but where was that last week?
Taking the pessimistic view, Virginia Techs &#8220;offensive&#8221; coordinator Bryan Stinespring acquired a straw-man counter-argument for his continued failures.  Blowing away a team with no defense does not mean you know how to run an offense.  Now I just need to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Grocery Redemption</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ukrops spoiled me.  Growing up in Richmond, there were, you know, other grocery stores but those were just places you went when you were in rush; You did the real grocery shopping at Ukrops.
When I finally moved out of Richmond, I was a bit taken back at the poor quality of grocery stores elsewhere.  Some [...]]]></description>

		<title>Avoiding the Wahoos and looking at Bricks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Weather and UVA move-in day snuck up on Christina and I and killed our Saturday plans to go visit Charlottesville.  As much fun as it would be to bump shoulders with 15,000 Wahoos moving back into C-Ville, we decided to take a raincheck.  While we were waiting for coffee, Christina overheard a group say they [...]]]></description>

		<title>Aliens and Nazis</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Managed to catch not one but two movies in the theater this weekend: District 9 last Thursday and then Inglourious Basterds yesterday.  Both are actually quite good and worth seeing though each has issues.
District 9 was the more interesting of the two &#8212; drawing an obvious but not overbearing correlation to apartheid and with more than a [...]]]></description>
