&lt;p&gt;Did I ask for her number? No. Why? Because I’m an idiot.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;don’t be so tough with yourself! that’s happens. let’s find her through tumblr. play the sketch artist, draw a pic of her and we spread the word out!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Haha I’d love that! Maybe if we alllll work together, we’ll find her. Let’s get to work&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://corywest.tumblr.com/post/261049242</link><guid>http://corywest.tumblr.com/post/261049242</guid><pubDate>Sat, 28 Nov 2009 14:50:36 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>jingc:

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Analemma - a trace of the annual movement of the Sun on the sky - is well known among experts of sun-dials and old Earth’s globes as a diagram of change of seasons and an equation of time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The photographer took a picture of the sun in the sky at the same time, every 10 days, on a single frame of film. He only had to postpone the exposure time twice, due to bad weather. To keep the camera in the same position, he attached it to a platform that he could mount and dismount.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Very impressive.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description><link>http://corywest.tumblr.com/post/261042904</link><guid>http://corywest.tumblr.com/post/261042904</guid><pubDate>Sat, 28 Nov 2009 14:44:06 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>Chatted up with a girl at H&amp;M tonight.

&lt;p&gt;Hanson says:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So much could be better, but SO much could be worse and I am thankful for everyone of those people, places, and things that make life worthwhile. I sincerely hope that each and every one of you has a great day today and are able to spend it with friends and/or family.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Amen. Now let’s stuff our faces with enough food to feed the entire developing world for a month and tell each other off.&lt;/p&gt;
