		<title>Simon&#8217;s &amp; My Last Season of Idol</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, if Simon&#8217;s not hanging in there, then neither am I.
What is American Idol without Simon Cowell?  Nothing.  Can we really take this week&#8217;s guest judge or Randy or Kara&#8217;s opinions seriously?  We all only care to hear the rude but true, or very kind things Simon will say to those auditioning.  We love to [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Sister&#8217;s Keeper Killer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, looks like Little Miss Sunshine just didn&#8217;t want to live a miserable life without one of her kidneys.
Now here was a movie that falls under the &#8216;Depressing&#8217; category.  Talk about needing a box of Kleenex&#8217;s next to you for this one.  This movie explores the hardships that come with cancer in the family.  It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Conveyor Belt of Love</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ABC has my full attention every Monday night from 10-11 this season.  I&#8217;m a sucker for dating shows, usually getting sucked in by all the jokes I can make about these sad, beautiful people&#8230;but this show is different, they were making all the jokes for me, all I had to do was laugh.

		<title>Ghosts of Movies Past</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ghosts of Girlfriends Past is coming back to haunt me by making me admit I actually spent a few dollars to watch this turd.  It&#8217;s not like I was expecting much, or anything at all, but it was even worse than the cutsie, beautiful-people romantic comedy I wanted for the evening.  I don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sunshine Cleaning, Mostly Sunny</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What I really enjoyed about this movie was that the movie didn&#8217;t think I was an idiot!
Let me explain, most Hollywood films nowadays must think their audience is incapable to put the pieces together or to see the obvious ending that&#8217;s a couple hours away.  You see how I just thought my audience wouldn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

This is where I learned the love Italians have for black olives&#8230;sheesh, talk about putting a whole can of olives on my pizza.  Let&#8217;s just say they&#8217;ve grown on me after that meal.

&#8230;bringing a picture of the hair cut you want to the salon meaning that the barber has free reign to do whatever creation they want?

I work with a majority of Russians, and Hal&#8217;s boss&#8217;s birthday had numerous Brazilians/Argentineans.
