		<description><![CDATA[Per usual, my semester ended with me collapsed on the couch, soul-sucking seminar papers turned in, exam blue books thoroughly scribbled upon, piles of books and essays covering the dining room table, and very, very little done in preparation for Christmas. I was absurdly proud of myself for decorating our tree 6 days before Christmas [...]]]></description>

We gave: Our extra copies of C.S. Lewis&#8217;s Mere Christianity and The Screwtape Letters and an extra copy of John Calvin&#8217;s Golden Booklet of the Christian Life.

It took a lot longer than one day to do so. Sorry, Nina. On Shear Genius Nerd, I cut Noel&#8217;s hair. He hadn&#8217;t been shorn since Josh and Corinne&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

Because I&#8217;m a nerd and a weanie, I just got another hole in my ear&#8230; &#8230;and consequently my tale of The Moment of Piercing itself is rather unremarkable. What no one else has commented on, however, is the general atmosphere of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back in our CovCol days, Noel and I lived on halls in the same dorm that had (helpfully, for our purposes) proclaimed themselves to be &#8220;brother and sister halls.&#8221; This was a nice idea. Under the guise of spirituality-glazed affection, it gave some members of each hall their most regular and sustained contact with folks [...]]]></description>

When writing fancy academic things is your daily grind, it can be hard to code switch to witty, more public-friendly banter. So, good visual culture historian that I am, here are roughly the equivalent of seven thousand words, summarizing my winter break and subsequent return [...]]]></description>

Four days ago, my dining room floor looked like this: When I taught writing at Cov, I would occasionally frighten hapless students by whipping out a pair of scissors and announcing that we were going to cut up their essays.

When I was especially wee, my parents bought small, rather scrawny trees from the parking lot of Foodland; unfortunately, I was so young that they had to place the precious evergreen in the playpen for its [...]]]></description>

My thesis research is consuming, and as I struggle to put thoughts into sentences coherent by academic standards, I have little desire to re-translate into summary or self-critical form for my reading public.
