		<title>The Legendary Japanese Cake (densetsu nihon no keeki)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
A real cake
It&#8217;s just been White Day, for those of you that live here &#8211; the Japanese (actual) equivalent of Valentine&#8217;s day (i.e. the one where the guys have to make the effort and every restaurant/park/cinema/sex shop/love hotel is packed out all day).
So for a treat, the other half and I headed out to Shinjuku [...]]]></description>

		<title>Things you can do in Japan after midnight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My cinema trip that lasted until half past 3 in the morning has prompted me to think about what interesting things you can get up to in Japan in the wee hours. In stark contrast to Japan, England is a country that sticks fastly to its working hours. Most shops close at 5:30pm or 6, [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya &#8211; Movie synopsis and opinions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, I&#8217;m dead tired today, because for some reason I thought it&#8217;d be funny to go to the midnight showing of Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu at the Wald9 in Shinjuku (mainly because I missed the 9:10pm showing by accident. Bear in mind that the movie is almost 3 hours long, and I got out of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Recent anime Yuri Character roundup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Surprisingly there has been rather a good crop of yuri in the recent season or two &#8211; Not in yuri anime per se, but most being token characters of varying importance and annoyance. Here I shall do a little roundup of their limited life stories&#8230;

Shirai Kuroko (To Aru Kagaku no Railgun)

		<title>These are a few of my favourite&#8230;err&#8230;adverbs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This week I managed to get a hold of an electronic version of Kamiya&#8217;s Handbook of Japaese Adjectives and Adverbs so I began compiling a list of adverbs in Japanese. The Japanese seem to use adverbs a lot &#8211; especially in speech and they can be annoying to translate since a lot of them don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

Turns out that she&#8217;s getting to fly out to Okinawa (for free) to do some bird catch and release for a week. You don&#8217;t have to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Saki only doujinshi event review &#8211; Kiyosumi Oasis, Kawasaki-shi</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I was really looking forward to this weekend as I had picked up a flyer a while back that said there was going to be a Saki only doujinshi event in Kawasaki-shi (10 minutes south of Tokyo) which promised to be a lot smaller and less crowded than Comiket. The poster said that there were [...]]]></description>

You may or may not know this (depending on how many Nanoha news groups you read), but the 1st Nanoha movie has just come out in Japan (the premiere was last Saturday I think). So I was naturally very excited (being an enormous Nanoha fan) and even more excited that it was going to be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Winter anime review: I don&#8217;t like anything this season!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s happened to me for a good long time, but a combination of the winter season being slim pickings and some rather insufferable attempts at animation, I have to say there really is nothing to hook my fancy this season at all (T_T). Actually, that&#8217;s a lie. I do quite like Hidamari [...]]]></description>

For lack of better things to write about, I wanted to make a list of all the strangest things that I&#8217;ve seen in Japan so far this visit&#8230;Also included is &#8220;strange drinks you can find in vending machines!&#8221;

		<title>Comiket report &#8211; Status of your porns</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
So I thought that I would write a short post on how trends in the doujinshi world seem to be developing, according to my limited view of browsing Toranoana and Comiket 77&#8230;
Parodies
Touhou is especially going strong at the moment (though it&#8217;s been pretty constant for the last year or so). Shijima visited the Touhou section [...]]]></description>

Approximately 1/10 of the people waiting to get in at 7:30am
So perhaps a shorter post about Comiket day 3 &#8211; somehow I caught something between day 1 and day 2, so I didn&#8217;t sleep at all last night and felt pretty crappy when I got up at 6 am to start off to the Big [...]]]></description>

A slightly scaled down queue to get in
So missing out the fact that I avoided day 1 and apparently missed all the Saki yuri doujinshi (shimatta!!), I decided to go on day 2 &#8211; not exactly to shop, but to scout the place out and also to walk along to Oedo Onsen Monogatari to see [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I came to Japan for the first time, I thought that the lifestyle here was really different, but now on my fourth visit and having stayed here for nearly 3 months, I can see that it&#8217;s not really that different from the UK. There are certain things that are obviously different &#8211; that there [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, as I write this, the autumn here is quickly turning into winter, but since nothing particularly exciting happens in winter, let&#8217;s talk about autumn instead&#8230;
The Japanese have a particular way of celebrating times of year. In just the same way we in England complain at the bad things at different times of year &#8211; [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve struggled to come up with things to write about in my Living in Japan series &#8211; mainly because my opinions haven&#8217;t really changed and I&#8217;ve probably said it all before in some post way back when in the archives&#8230;But I thought that I should at least comment on a few of the things about [...]]]></description>

So I was moving house the last few days, so apologies for not updating very much&#8230;on the Yuribou-scans side of things, I&#8217;m still doing commissions, but at the moment I&#8217;ve not had the spare time aside to do other projects too. 
This time I wanted to write about the part anime and manga have to [...]]]></description>

&#124; My current home and workplace &#8211; Mitaka-shi, West Tokyo.
So I guess that until things are really settled, I&#8217;ll just be posting about life here in Japan and the trials and tribulations of settling in&#8230;
Well, since we arrived on the 2nd and took a couple of days getting over our jetlag, things have been busy&#8230;It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Yuribou in Japan!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
As you all are hopefully aware, the reason that Yuribou has become rather static are that I&#8217;ve been preparing with the wifey to go to work in Japan for the duration of our research scholarships until 2011.
And we&#8217;re now here! And (surprisingly) with internets! Though they are quite slow&#8230;
My apartment is a rather costly weekly [...]]]></description>

		<title>This season&#8217;s yuri review: Kanamemo</title>

I thought that I should take a break from lurking in the background and doing my translations to post a quick series review on what I think is the yuri anime to watch this season (yeah. I know I&#8217;m late and the season&#8217;s almost over&#8230;)
Kanamemo is a cute anime involving a young girl (the eponymous [...]]]></description>

To make a good contrast with the previous book, I ordered another more adult one (but of course not straying too far into the hot &#8216;n&#8217; heavy world of erotica &#8211; I think there&#8217;s only so many short storylines you can write where the majority of the content is lesbian lovin&#8217;), which &#8211; after careful [...]]]></description>
