		<description><![CDATA[Ana Castillo coined the word Xicanisma in the subtitle of her book "Massacre of the Dreamers: Essays on Xicanisma" back in 1994. In my mind it is a word that was created to describe an admirable quality of her own character, as well as that of Regina, a protagonist in her latest novel "The Guardians." When I interviewed her in person back in 1998 she had an unmistakable aura about her of intelligence and courage. She herself is a guardian for the voiceless, telling the stories of people who live in shadows and die alone, sometimes without even their internal organs. Far from a book of essays, or a lecture on immigration, "The Guardians" is both tragic and comedic, poetic and suspenseful. In the following interview by e-mail I "talked" with her about her writing process, the recent election of Barack Obama and her future plans.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I like to think big, but sometimes small is the way to go. I remember hearing Suze Orman give some simple financial advice for getting out of debt. She advised people to clean their house and get organized. (I'm paraphrasing here.) While cleaning, put all the loose change that you find in a jar. When you're done cleaning and organizing you will feel energized. Then, you should take all the change that you found, whether it amounts to a dollar or thirty dollars (you will find something,) and put it down on your biggest debt. Now that always stuck in my head as some very good advice. More than just symbolic, each little payment on a debt reduces the interest on that debt. Making a positive step in the right direction opens the door of possibilities. Probably, if the banks and the auto makers would do some thorough house cleaning, they could eliminate a lot of their own problems themselves. But while I can't do much about that, I can clean my own house.]]></description>

You're already paying for your internet connection, so you might as well be world traveler. Not only can you tap into the rest of the world, it's getting to be more "real" by the minute. Following are links I chose from hundreds of search results to various virtual arts events.
