		<description><![CDATA[So every year I do a post about Child&#8217;s Play Charity and the importance of video games in my life. For those of you who don&#8217;t know what Child&#8217;s Play is all about, I will just point you in the direction of the Wikipedia article. It says more than I ever could, and it has lots of lovely facts. To date the charity has raised [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tonight two groups of video gaming enthusiasts&#8211;The Fangamers and The Speed Gamers&#8211;had a Plush Charity Auction where all proceeds went to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson&#8217;s Disease. The plushies auctioned off? Earthbound plushies. Lots of Mr. Saturns and one Master Belch. They were the little UFO catcher things (though some were quite large, I have to admit) you get in crane games. They&#8217;re [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are certain game composers whose music style is just&#8230; theirs. The times signatures used, preferred instruments, the way epics sway and sweep before falling into a perfect loop that&#8217;s mandatory in almost all video game music. The one whose style is most noticeable to me is Motoi Sakuraba. His work is unmistakable. I hear a song I&#8217;ve never heard before in a game I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This morning I spent a couple hours fine-tuning edits for &#8220;Will,&#8221; which included completely axing 2,000 or so words. I like to be concise; I like leaving things up to the reader. Not everything, but a lot of things. Next comes all the smoothing, tying the loose ends and making sure it works the way it should. &#8220;Will&#8221; is a machine. It needs to work. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve adopted a new workout schedule. When I come home from work, I change into shorts and a tanktop or whatever I have that&#8217;s handy and comfortable, grab a tumbler of water, and catch up on my HCBailly Let&#8217;s Plays. Currently he&#8217;s running through Final Fantasy VIII and Link&#8217;s Awakening, both of which I am thoroughly enjoying, though I doubt anything will come close to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I realize that I haven&#8217;t been 100% fair to Twilight fans, especially those who are head-over-heels for Edward Cullen. Twilight is not my cup of tea (and truth be told, I think the writing is tripe but to each their own), but I need to step back and quit criticizing all the girls and women who want an Edward (or I guess that werewolf guy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The first half of today it rained. A lot. I was dead to the world last night while I slept, so I woke up with quite a bit of water on my windowsill on the inside, since I had the windows open all night. It was beautiful, until it rained. That&#8217;s okay though. My plants probably liked the shower, I&#8217;m almost certain. The rain made [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I was younger I idolized three game composers: Nobuo Uematsu, Yasunori Mitsuda and Yoko Shimomura. Their works were something amazing, something that went beyond the bloops and bleeps of 8-bit music. Magical, ethereal compositions of electronic goodness. I didn&#8217;t find out about Yoko Shimomura until later in 2000, when I played Legend of Mana. I fell in love with her music right away. It [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No video today, but that doesn&#8217;t matter. Today was a no-work day. Well, no writing work anyhow, and I&#8217;m regretting. I did, however, clean the apartment top to bottom. I even organized my utility closet, so now things aren&#8217;t in disarray. I like it organized. Neat. I played Persona 3 for a few hours. People turned traitor on me and then promptly committed suicide. I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been pretty good about waking up at a decent hour this past week. I should have realized that I was setting myself up for failure today. I didn&#8217;t roll out of bed until after 10 o&#8217;clock. Shame, shame on me. This Saturday happened to be my Cleaning Saturday, where I clean my apartment top to bottom. The kitchen and bathroom always need it [...]]]></description>
