		<description><![CDATA[So Fourth of July weekend is upon us, and for some reason that made me feel extra-compelled to go out and do something than any other Saturday. Go figure. In any case, I promptly hopped on my trusty steed (the Manhattan-bound N Train) and galloped (commuted) my way into town,]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today presented an interesting situational dichotomy as I spent it hanging out with different friends. In the morning, I met up with a good friend of mine, Iñigo (in whose spare bedroom I'm crashing while in Manila) and some of his friends for lunch. We ate at a nice upscale Japanese restaurant before retiring to one of the friends' houses for sangrias.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I've seen a lot of Christmas decorations in my time, but this has got to be one of the more macabre ones to date. It reminds me of those witch doctors' shrunken heads you'd see in cartoons and comics. The only things that are missing are lifeless eyes and sewn-shut lips.]]></description>

She makes other things, too, like clothes and jewelry, but really it's the critters you keep coming back for. She also makes little tiny versions of people, usually to order.]]></description>
