&lt;p&gt;Little Life Lesson #23: Giving someone a little stuffed version (plus googly eyeballs) of the disease they contracted will not make it any better that they have herpes or the Ebola virus.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://deanie.tumblr.com/post/37920249</link><guid>http://deanie.tumblr.com/post/37920249</guid><pubDate>Tue, 10 Jun 2008 18:16:00 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>"So do you guys think that this couch would be more comfortable if it had white slip-covers?"</title><description>““So do you guys think that this couch would be more comfortable if it had white...</description><link>http://deanie.tumblr.com/post/37734444</link><guid>http://deanie.tumblr.com/post/37734444</guid><pubDate>Mon, 09 Jun 2008 10:35:47 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>7 Things I Love Today (Part 3)</title><description>Here’s some more…

&lt;p&gt;The People: including the couple in front of me who wouldn’t stop drinking/whispering/nuzzling/kissing, a girl who looked exactly EXACTLY like Megan Czaplewski (only like 5 years younger), a 7’ 4” guy (Megan lookin’ ass’ father we think), a 1 year old in pajamas who will probably be emo by the time he’s 5, and a bunch of annoying people four rows in front of us who kept getting up in the middle of the show.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Songs: Most of them were ones I hadn’t heard before, which was cool.  One adorable one was called “Wonder” and Colin wrote it when he found out his girlfriend was pregnant.  Really cute.  He played a couple Decemberists songs, though, including the rollicking “A Cautionary Tale” (surprising how excited everyone got for a depressing song about an abused prostitute).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Colin: Thank God he was one of those few people who sound just as good live as they do recorded.  Also quite a funny guy.  I also learned a few things about him: a) He voted Obama, b) He apparently had rheumatism but it was cured by some magical quartz he got in Georgia, and c) He likes hummus.  A lot.  Like, seriously, a lot.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All in all, it was a lovely night, even if we did have to wait an extra hour before he came onstage and had to clap for fifteen years before he would come out and do an encore.  Now I’m just waiting for the Decemberists to make a new CD so I can see them on tour.  :)&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://deanie.tumblr.com/post/32647093</link><guid>http://deanie.tumblr.com/post/32647093</guid><pubDate>Wed, 23 Apr 2008 13:00:00 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>A Decemberists Reflection</title><description>Joyous day!  Today I get to go see Colin Meloy in concert!  For all of you who don’t know and...</description><link>http://deanie.tumblr.com/post/32539735</link><guid>http://deanie.tumblr.com/post/32539735</guid><pubDate>Tue, 22 Apr 2008 13:06:58 -0400</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
