&lt;p&gt;Oh heyyyy, nice to see you! What you been up to the last 30 days? Me, I’ve become a blogger with mixed feelings about the internet! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Do I contradict myself? Very well then yada yada Walt Whitman. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;ALSO OMFG speaking of wasted time, I’ve just spent an hour trying to sync up these f’d up video and audio tracks, to no avail. Consider this video confirmation that I am in fact a very large, very photorealistic puppet.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://unreliablenovelist.tumblr.com/post/28518280355</link><guid>http://unreliablenovelist.tumblr.com/post/28518280355</guid><pubDate>Wed, 01 Aug 2012 20:07:00 -0400</pubDate><category>Walt Whitman</category><category>Things You Should Know</category></item><item><title>BRB on August 1…</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6ima7Ia1n1qhnd2lo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;BRB on August 1…&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://unreliablenovelist.tumblr.com/post/26324653906</link><guid>http://unreliablenovelist.tumblr.com/post/26324653906</guid><pubDate>Mon, 02 Jul 2012 00:10:55 -0400</pubDate><category>writing insight</category></item><item><title>Desperation Meter: $50.43</title><description>Behold my Amazon salvation.

&lt;p&gt;Officially announcing my summer vacation. 30 days off social media starting July 1, inspired by &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/5918784" target="_blank"&gt;this guy&lt;/a&gt; and my &lt;a href="http://youtu.be/oQi8CglEWMk" target="_blank"&gt;lazy lima bean&lt;/a&gt; lack of novelizing lately. You might see a post here from time to time throughout July, but otherwise…&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;SEE YOU AUGUST 1st!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hopefully tanner, smarter and with a higher word count. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Unreliably yours…xx&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://unreliablenovelist.tumblr.com/post/25948033467</link><guid>http://unreliablenovelist.tumblr.com/post/25948033467</guid><pubDate>Tue, 26 Jun 2012 16:32:00 -0400</pubDate><category>Things You Should Know</category><category>summer vacation</category><category>30 days without social media</category></item><item><title>Let's get this party started: spy gadgets 101</title><description>
