			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Time Spiral" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/24183489@N00/284995199/" target="_blank"><img class="alignright" style="border: 0pt none; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 0px;" src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/109/284995199_c4d0989afd.jpg" border="0" alt="Time Spiral" width="199" height="149" /></a>Today, I am grateful for:</p>
<p>1. <a title="Say it ten times fast" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worcestershire_sauce" target="_blank">Worcestershire sauce</a>.  This stuff is just awesome.  My wife makes a mean mushroom sauce with it, and it adds a pleasant bit of kick to a beef stew I like to prepare.</p>
<p>2.  <a title="I'm sure someone, somewhere, will find this culturally offensive" href="http://prince-of-persia.us.ubi.com/index.php" target="_blank">Prince of Persia</a>.  Our <a title="Circular referencing" href="http://siege-curmudgeon.com/2009/02/13/gratitude-02132009/" target="_blank">roommate</a> and I have been playing this for the past week, and have been pretty impressed.  The controls are a little clunky at times, and your &#8220;guide&#8221; has an odd tendency to get completely and mind-warpingly lost, but the story is pretty good and the dialogue was very well written.  The <a title="Some digity edumacation" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downloadable_content" target="_blank">DLC</a> available for it doesn&#8217;t hurt its value any, either.</p>
<p>Plus, my wife has been very patient in letting us get our geek on, which makes a game infinitely more enjoyable than having to field constant questions of &#8220;How old are you again?&#8221; and &#8220;Why does the guy on screen just keep jumping from pillar to wall and back repeatedly?&#8221;</p>
<p>3. <a title="Prepare to be massively disinterested" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time" target="_blank">Daylight savings time</a>.</p>
<p>Okay, that was a lie.  I <em>hate</em> daylight savings time.  Also known as &#8220;arbitrarily shuffle clocks around so it&#8217;s brighter at one end of your day and darker at the other&#8221;.  I mean, who came <em>up</em> with this plan?</p>
<p>Oh.  Right.  <a title="No disrespect to the man - just not a big fan of his proposal" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Willett" target="_blank">This dude</a>.</p>
