			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Wasters of My Time:</p>
<p>I know it&#8217;s hard to believe, but I really do not care about your real or fake sex videos with Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, or anyone else on your roster. I am not titillated by the prospects of such videos because I am not interested in women who are famous for being beautiful, or famous for being famous. (Sorry Britney Spears music fans.)</p>
<p>The interesting women of the world to me are so because of <em>who they are</em>, be it actor or musician or journalist or activist or athlete or whatever. So even if you had video of <em>them</em>, I still wouldn&#8217;t care. So please stop wasting my time.</p>
<p>Though I would like you know how you get onto my followers list over and over without ever triggering the email notification that I have a new follower.</p>
<p>Love, Me</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No, the former behavior of @replies was not confusing. That you just arbitrarily changed it is.</p>
<p>Most of my best &#8220;Twitter friends&#8221; I found by checking them out after someone I was already following replied to them. Now that <a href="http://blog.twitter.com/2009/05/small-settings-update.html">you&#8217;ve removed that ability</a>, we&#8217;re all roped up inside our little circles of existing followers.</p>
<p>Please give us the option back. Removing an &#8220;option&#8221; is what&#8217;s confusing here &#8212; it&#8217;s an OPTION! Now you&#8217;re just disenfranchised all of us who wanted it. Nicely done.</p>

If you&#8217;re avoiding mercury in your autistic kids&#8217; foods, tough luck.

<li><a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=99888903">We&#8217;re already screwed as far as global warming is concerned.</a></li>

</ul>
<p>I seriously loathe Januarys. It&#8217;s become my personal obsession to do so. I have never had such a urge to beat my head against the wall of late as I did this morning.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t play my music loud enough for this, sometimes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I like my new (as in new for me &#8212; it&#8217;s really used) car quite a bit.  Especially compared to the previous deathtrap I was driving around in.</p>
<p>But the &#8216;low traction&#8217; warning light on the dashboard has to be the most useless thing ever. When I hit an ice patch and skid, I hope I don&#8217;t need the dashboard to tell me I&#8217;m skidding.  If I do, I have bigger problems than I thought.</p>
<p>I seriously wish I could meet the person who thought this was a good idea to have this warning light, so they could justify it to me.</p>
