			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve updated my <a title="Clips" href="http://www.beckilee.com/clips/" target="_blank">clips</a> page to be easier to read (I hope), and I&#8217;ve also added a new clip: a nonfiction essay titled &#8220;Diamonds Are Forever?: An objective reflection on a reflective object.&#8221; I played around with InDesign CS5.5 to create a two-page spread for it. So much fun!</p>
<p>Anyway, <a href="http://www.beckilee.com/blc-diamonds.pdf" target="_blank">click here</a> to view the .PDF I made.</p>
<p>I promise I will have a proper update soon. Freelancing is keeping me busy!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t read as much as I should, or as much as I&#8217;d like, but I&#8217;m aiming to correct that. In the meantime, I&#8217;m in the middle of three books:</p>
<ul>
<li><em><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/92143.Bone">Bone: The Complete Cartoon Epic in One Volume</a></em>, by Jeff Smith. When I was in middle school, some friends of the family brought a few issues of the comics over, and I absolutely adored them. Didn&#8217;t get very far into the story, but I&#8217;m trying to remedy that now by reading the entire (giant, gargantuan) graphic novel.</li>
<li><em><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2767052-the-hunger-games">The Hunger Games</a></em>, by Suzanne Collins. I&#8217;ve heard it&#8217;s amazing from so many different people that I simply had to see for myself if it lives up to the hype. So far, so good, but then again, I&#8217;m only on the third chapter&#8230; Too early to make a decision, I think.</li>
<li><em><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/361459.An_Unquiet_Mind">An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness</a></em>, by Kay Redfield Jamison. Jamison is a professor of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins, which isn&#8217;t far from where I live, so this book is an item of local interest for me. Additionally, I&#8217;ve always had an interest in psychology and psychiatry. This book has been on my &#8220;to-read&#8221; list for years, and I&#8217;m finally getting around to it. Sort of.</li>
</ul>
<p>I don&#8217;t normally read this many books at once, so it&#8217;s kind of strange for me. But I like being able to read whatever fits my mood at the time. Jonesing for a light-hearted read? Try <em>Bone.</em> Feeling like something dark and dystopian? <em>The Hunger Games.</em> Want a thoughtful personal memoir? <em>An Unquiet Mind.</em> I think I&#8217;d have more trouble switching from book to book if they were all similar, actually.</p>
<p>Feel free to <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/22075-becki-chiasson">friend me on Goodreads</a>. If you aren&#8217;t familiar with Goodreads, you should be, particularly if you like to read: it&#8217;s a social network (hey, quit with the groans!) that allows you to keep track of books you&#8217;re reading, have read, or want to read. Once you&#8217;ve added a book to one of those three lists, you can then assign &#8220;shelves,&#8221; or categories. A few of mine are &#8220;humor,&#8221; &#8220;fiction,&#8221; &#8220;book club,&#8221; and &#8220;books I should have read sooner.&#8221; You can write reviews and assign a rating of one to five stars to the books. I think the site is pretty keen.</p>
<p>So what have you been reading lately? Let me know in the comments!</p>
