		<title>back in black</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m alive, I&#8217;m back, and I&#8217;m applying for graduate school.
I haven&#8217;t been blogging because of above reason, and being out of town visiting my grandmother who does not have internet access, and being on vacation in southern California.
I&#8217;ve also been gone because the spam I get in comments was overwhelming, and I haven&#8217;t had a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m back. Summer sure went fast. It&#8217;s cold here these days, carrying my luggage through Tokyo was the last time I&#8217;ve sweated in a week (only a week ago?).
The family vacation was good, my mom fell in love with Japan and my brother didn&#8217;t exactly (he&#8217;s a big old travel wuss, shared youth hostel bedrooms [...]]]></description>

		<title>packing up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I pack my life in stages; final conference and the suit goes in the suitcase, final classes, in go the work clothes. Final parties, toss in my earrings and heels; all the trappings of my small-town urban life boxed and shipped.
I&#8217;m left with my raggedest, ill-fitting, badly matched summer survival gear, sandals, a bottle of [...]]]></description>

		<title>nightmarish day for a non-public-speaker</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tuesday was the day I&#8217;ve been anticipating for awhile, ever since I watched the solemn goodbyes of leaving teachers, my first spring here at school.
I knew Speech Marathon Day was coming, so Monday I begged R-chan to help me translate my thoughts. I told her stories, and if she laughed, I had her tell it [...]]]></description>

		<title>let them eat cake</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An article on remystifying the orgasm in response to a book:
It&#8217;s not that the sexual revelations and revolutions of the recent past have not brought considerable good. It&#8217;s great that men know more about women&#8217;s bodies than they did, great they no longer imagine, like the cad in Milan Kundera&#8217;s 1972 novel The Joke, that [...]]]></description>

		<title>time running down</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Thursday I will finish my final lesson at school, and that will be it for my eigo-no-sensei career. I&#8217;ve been making stabs at packing and preliminary sorting, but recently it&#8217;s gotten so fucking hot that I can barely think.
This week and next will be packed with goodbye parties, making arrangements for the family trip, [...]]]></description>

		<title>romantic summer&#8217;s night</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ever since I turned recognizeably female, somewhere in junior high, I have glommed older men like a piece of gum in a sandbox. As an introduction to the world of being picked up, there was the sci fi convention guy, who upon learning my age (14) mumbled that he must be drunker than he&#8217;d thought [...]]]></description>

		<title>misogyny is the new pink</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Meet George Ouzounian, whose purported girlfriend&#8217;s taste I hold in question.
Melissa Lafsky offers a very insightful analysis. I wonder if her writing or lawyering skills are better.
And a reader&#8217;s response to her column says what I was thinking.
In the space of a conversation he claims to be educated (went to college and worked in computer [...]]]></description>

		<title>diva for a day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Saturday I gave a small salon concert. It was my singing debut, and it went well. I sort of still can&#8217;t believe I did it, because singing in front of people was not on my to-do list. Ever.
During the past year I&#8217;ve been taking unofficial voice lessons from my friend M, a singer and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In Foundation,  Issac Asimov wrote about a planet at the edge of the galaxy devoted to storing the entire contents of human knowledge in a great Encyclopedia Galactica, so that when the galactic empire fell the ensuing eternity of the Dark Ages wouldn&#8217;t be quite as dark and eternal.
