So although a new year&#8217;s resolution of mine was to further my writing habit into semi-regularity, I seem to have already subordinated it (once again, and as always) to the capriciousness of my daily life.

Transitioning from New Year&#8217;s Eve to New Year&#8217;s Day, in concurrence with the drunken revelry, I somehow misplaced my $15,000 NT camera (Canon S95) while on the train and experienced that profound feeling of despair as when [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=northseed.wordpress.com&amp;blog=2268275&amp;post=196&amp;subd=northseed&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On the cusp of 2011, I&#8217;m more inclined to look forward with anticipation toward the following year and the opportunities that lie in store for me. However, I usually carry in the back of my mind the adage that to know where you&#8217;ve going, you&#8217;ve got to know where you&#8217;ve been. So it&#8217;s useful for [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=northseed.wordpress.com&amp;blog=2268275&amp;post=189&amp;subd=northseed&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
