		<title>Conan O&#8217;Brien dubs Ghost In The Shell</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Conan O&#8217;Brien visited, relative to Universal Studios, nearby anime dubbing studio Bang Zoom to see how anime is dubbed. Needless to say Conan loves to dub cartoons and showed his passion for such at the studio, along with sidekick Andy Richter.
 The true moment of brilliance comes through when the director begins explaining the plot of GitS, leaving Conan to say the following, &#8220;I just have to say I didn&#8217;t understand the plot. At all.&#8221; I feel the exact same way, Conan.
All I can say is that that is English ...]]></description>

		<title>Man punches woman on train. Twice!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A cranky computer programmer on the way to work in Shinkiya was told to stop playing cell phone games by a 50-year old woman at 8am. Being one of the less self-controlled people among us humans he ended up punching the woman, after which he was restrained by fellow passengers. The punchline here is that the woman got whacked again after being escorted off the train!

		<title>Suicide in Japan is a sign of diligent citizens.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I bet you can think of a few people on this side of the pond who could use some Japanese diligence. Don&#8217;t hide it.  
What do you think?

		<title>A small taste of wisdom. v1, Michel de Montaigne quotes.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I watched White Album up to episode 4, but I&#8217;ve got nothing to say about it so I&#8217;m just gonna let Montaigne take over. This 16th century humanist philosopher.
If you like Nietzsche, you&#8217;ll find a lot to like here. In fact, many of Nietzsche&#8217;s aphorisms are direct reactions to some of these.
Tell me if there are particular ones that strike your fancy.


A good marriage would be between a blind wife and a deaf husband.
 Michel de Montaigne 
A man who fears suffering is already suffering from what he fears.

		<title>Chrome Shelled Regios, Mundo TV and Rideback. What do they have in common?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[They&#8217;re bad. That&#8217;s the main reason why there hasn&#8217;t been an update here in a while. I&#8217;ve got some other things to talk about though, such as Suzumiya Haruhi no Gekidou.


It looks easy eh? But I can&#8217;t figure it out. I&#8217;d love to try to solve the mystery of what I&#8217;m supposed to do but there&#8217;s a problem. A grown man should never, ever be seen playing this game. The disgust of the observer and the shame of the observed would combine to make it a tragedy. I&#8217;m a sick ...]]></description>

		<title>Final Fantasy XIII US Release Date: After April 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We already knew that Final Fantasy XIII was hitting Japanese shores sometime in 2009. Today Square-Enix has apparently told business news site Reuters, that Final Fantasy XIII will be released outside of Japan during the 2010 financial year which starts in April 2010.
Some of you may be disappointed but this really is the best we could expect. If Square-Enix is trying to push the game out in Japan by late 2009, localisation and the Xbox 360 port will take some months to complete. A release date for Final Fantasy Versus ...]]></description>

		<title>White Album episode 02, what does the poetry book represent? An attempt at deciphering the metaphorical subtext.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As you may have noticed, Browning&#8217;s book made another appearance in episode 2. In the first episode, the book represented in some sense Misaki&#8217;s interest in Touya. Touya didn&#8217;t have interest in the book (Misaki&#8217;s feelings by extension) and tried to pass it on to Akira, who refused it, even though he had interest in the literary content of it. What Akira refused is to simply inherit Misaki&#8217;s attention from Touya, he wanted Misaki to romantically discover his person by natural progression/personal wooing efforts. He has too much pride, he ...]]></description>
