  <description>I had an awesome day. I ate breakfast at Egg Harbor (so tasty) this morning just me and a book. One of my favorite fantasy novels. (The third in the Codex Alera series by Jim Butcher.) Such a nice start to the day!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, I went to the gym and ran 3 miles. I wasn&apos;t exactly speedy today, but I was glad that I did it. And I love the steam room on a rainy day, it makes my head feel better. (Bad sinuses.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then I went with some friends (including mr CWD) to a fancy steakhouse (Wildfire). I had a filet with blue cheese crust and a flight of martinis and we got to go down into the city for the This American Life live show. SO FREAKING AWESOME. Dan Savage, Joss Whedon, and Ira Glass on the same stage kinda rocks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, I&apos;m home and a bit sleepy...I&apos;ll probably read a bit then go to bed. :)</description>

  <title>Burlesque</title>
  <link>http://brainymckinky.livejournal.com/64043.html</link>
  <description>So, I went to the Vari-A-Tease Caberet/Burlesque show over the weekend. It was VERY cool....so cool in fact, I think I want to start going to more shows. The next cool one I know about is the Valentines day one, so I&apos;ll have to see how that works out, but I definitely recommend it to peeps...from a knowledgeable friend of mine, the Chicago Burlesque scene is apparently top notch.</description>
