		<title>3 Things</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been using the Windows 7 RC and it expires March 1st. I&#8217;ve been trying to buy an official copy thru their website, but they wont let me. It says my credit card or information is wrong. I&#8217;ve tried 5 times, and it&#8217;s not wrong. I saw the Microsoft authorization go to my bank account, [...]]]></description>

		<title>monday morning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Australians have sweet speedsuits from the pages of Tron.
I think speed skating is my favorite sport. Korea has been showing a lot of it, since most of their medalists are from it. The skaters look bad-ass when they&#8217;re in slow motion, wearing those suits, and going around the curves. I want to see more luge, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Of Banking&#8230;</title>

It was then bought buy a &#8220;Big Bank&#8221;. This is my issue with the bank, now. I wonder if it is doing enough [...]]]></description>

Budget 	$237 million
Gross revenue 	$1,858,866,889
Avatar is still in the #1 box office seat and hasn&#8217;t had it&#8217;s DVD sales figures yet. It gets me wondering where all this money will &#8230; go? It would be nice if it could give back to the movie industry as a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pass or Fail</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is a professor at the university. I hate him. I hate everything about him. He&#8217;s taking the graduate course with me. The &#8216;good&#8217; side of me wants to help him out, because he is pathetic. Absolutely pathetic. The &#8216;bad&#8217; side of me wants to see him fall flat on his face and kick him [...]]]></description>

		<title>Baby, it&#8217;s cold outside</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Korea is having lows that they haven&#8217;t seen in 6 years. Due to this, my boiler wont crank out the heat any higher than 59F. My room was too uncomfortable to study in last night. So, I declared it a &#8216;Fat Day&#8217;. I sat down with some chocolate and granola and watched a movie.
I went [...]]]></description>

		<title>Festiuvuses</title>
		<description><![CDATA[UPDATE &#8211; 2 years ago I invested in XX mutual fund. I put a lot of money in it, because I liked the long term possibilities for it. In 2008, its value fell like the entire market, but the dividends were still ok. I&#8217;m always looking at dividends as a positive angle.
This year, the dividends [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dude, you&#8217;re getting a Nikon!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Although I&#8217;m not religious, I tend to skew towards the angle that things happen for a reason.
Back in September, I bought 200 shares of UNG @ 13.15. The chart looked good, I thought that uNG would at least get up to the high teeeeeens &#8230; but &#8230; It didn&#8217;t. Day by day, I watched it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Honestly&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I really think Koreans need a lesson on logic.
The school bathrooms are cold, but fortunately there is a heater in the teacher&#8217;s bathrooms. When the heater is on, the bathroom gets warm. It is comfortable to poop and pee when the air is warm. It is a convenience.
So, why would you open the windows or [...]]]></description>

		<title>Old Paint, New Paint</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Occasionally, I hear foreigners talking about Thanksgiving plans, and I want nothing to do with them. One website has a list of restaurants that will serve Thanksgiving dinners. They&#8217;re all expensive and will most likely be disappointing. Eventhough, I love me some mashed taters and green bean casserole, it has to be homemade the way [...]]]></description>

		<title>Of the teacher&#8217;s lounge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[2 weeks ago, the high school opened the &#8216;English Zone&#8217; and the new teachers lounge. The best (only) good feature of the teacher&#8217;s lounge is the standing vibrator machine. You stand on it, and the floor shakes up and down. It works your legs and abs as you balance yourself. You can also work you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quitting the Church</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think this will be my last semester with the Korean church class. I&#8217;ve paid for the semester, and I&#8217;ll keep going for the snacks. But if something else comes up on a Saturday, I wont hesitate to skip the class. (and I think I may have found something else to occupy my time)

		<title>Supporting Konglish</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The school may have a festival coming up. One of the clubs will raise money by selling baked goods and coffee.
My Korean teacher said the supervisor of the club wanted to combine two words, like bakery and coffee shop into one &#8220;cutesy&#8221; word. I said, &#8220;No, we&#8217;re not doing that.&#8221; I wont have any part [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sunny Moment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At the University, I&#8217;ve got this friend who is a real intellectual. He learned Korean language. Then, in his free time, he started learning Chinese characters to understand the meaning behind Korean language. He&#8217;s a Grammar Nazi and a language nerd, who loves to point out mistakes. He gets his jollies when Westerners get &#8220;incorrect&#8221; [...]]]></description>

All of this frustration is boiling from my after school classes. I hate after school classes. It&#8217;s a waste of my time. This is time which I could be having fun, reading, or [...]]]></description>
