		<description><![CDATA[Every time I peruse the seductive aisles of Barnes &#38; Noble, I am particularly tempted by the journal wall. They are quite attractive, albeit overpriced, with each releasing a different aura and purpose. Journals for travelers, for writers, for Jesus-lovers, for angry teenagers, for grandmas, for hipsters—you get the point. My personal favorites are the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=acquiredtaste.wordpress.com&blog=3224789&post=253&subd=acquiredtaste&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been getting headaches every mid afternoon for the past few weeks. At first I thought I was just dehydrated, as a result I drank so much water I thought I was getting a UTI with all those trips to the lav. Self medication followed; IBUProfen, Advil, Tylenol, Motrin, some oddly shaped green pills [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=acquiredtaste.wordpress.com&blog=3224789&post=238&subd=acquiredtaste&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I believe there are two types of people in this world: forward thinkers and backward thinkers. My father-in-law is a prime example of a forward thinker. He does not dwell on the past because he knows he cannot change it. Instead he focuses on what he can change, taking life as it comes despite its [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=acquiredtaste.wordpress.com&blog=3224789&post=227&subd=acquiredtaste&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve screamed like a little girl ever since I’ve been a little girl at anything and everything that happens to startle me. This trait has been passed down to me through generations of jumpy women and I must admit—it&#8217;s not flattering on me. This is no “oh dear me” scream, but more a “there is [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=acquiredtaste.wordpress.com&blog=3224789&post=211&subd=acquiredtaste&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

God is a much cheaper (and hygienic) genie, and growing up I used him at every crossroad to plead for his divine intervention.

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday morning as I&#8217;m leaving for work, I am startled by a loud knocking on my driver’s side window. A man, 30 or so years old, stands outside waving wildly, trying to get my attention. He looks very anxious. My first reaction is pure irritation; I require at least an hour to fully wake up.

Though a viable force, McCain may not be the largest threat to Obama’s campaign.
