		<title>Lazy Sunday Afternoon&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just a few snapshots from last Sunday. We were too late for the antiques market but we had a bit of a stroll around Toji&#8217;s temple grounds anyway.

Then on into town for a light meal at Vanilla (which you can read more about here).

We stayed there for a while and had a bit of a [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Company You Keep&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s &#8220;this month&#8217;s word&#8221; as posted in all the classrooms around my school:

善き友があり善き仲間と
ともにあることはこの聖なる
道のすべてある


yoki tomo ga ari yoki nakama to
tomoni aru koto ha kono seinaru
michi no subete aru
My co-teacher mumbled something about it probably being from some sutra or other, but he basically had no idea. It is obviously old though. Notice the old fashioned よき [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where the Wild Things Are</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Where the Wild Things Are is quite a good movie to watch right after you&#8217;ve had a row with someone. Makes you feel very very silly indeed. Quite unlike Maurice Sendak&#8217;s original picture book in tone, the movie explores the mood-swings of childhood; the high points of excitement (snowball fights) , the slumps into depression [...]]]></description>

		<title>Get MILK</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I rented this one at the weekend. I figured the subject matter and inevitably sad ending would make this movie heavy and depressing but ultimately the story of Harvey Milk is a positive and inspiring story of a life full of meaning and purpose. On his birthday in 1970 Harvey Milk says to his new [...]]]></description>

		<title>Satellites &amp; Meteorites</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I watched this on DVD last night. It appears to have won lots of awards. Well deserved. This is a gentle romantic fantasy from Ireland about two coma patients who have met only in their increasingly bizarre dreams&#8230; and then fall in love. I especially liked it when they suddenly began speaking in Japanese (funny [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Best Horror of the Year Volume One</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the past few years I&#8217;ve gotten into the habit of buying The Year&#8217;s Best Fantasy and Horror as December approaches. It&#8217;s a great big fat hunk of a book, about 40 stories and poems, and lots of chewy meat and potatoes in there. I always enjoy it. It&#8217;s reliably really good. So I thought [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tako-yaki Party</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not sure how this got started or whose idea it was (probably Yutaka&#8217;s) but we (Betty, Mewby, Yoshida-kun, Yutaka and me) had a kind of impromptu takoyaki party at my house last Saturday. A lot of booze was consumed. And a lot of octopus balls.  And then the experimentation began&#8230; Shrimp balls were quite [...]]]></description>
