		<description><![CDATA[There is a monster outside the door to my apartment.  It&#8217;s only half my height and its body looks like stone heated from the inside so it glows orange at the joints.  It stares at me with eyes of fire.  It never blinks.  It never breaks eye contact.  It&#8217;s always there, down the hall from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why do you love me?
By Whim
You looked at me once and you asked
Why do you love me?
I love you
Because you are there
I frowned
I punched you in the arm
I am not your Everest
I am not here for you to conquer
I rubbed my arm
I pretended to be hurt
How about this then
I love you because you are not [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve just been focusing on writing things which I&#8217;d like to get published; which generally means it doesn&#8217;t go on here.

Glad that no one was around I laughed as I stood and regarded the perfect impression of myself left in the snow.  As I walked away, however, the impression moved with me.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So admittedly, these series are pretty old news, but I just finished Kiddy Grade and having just rewatched Project A-Ko for the first time in ten years, I can’t help but want to compare the two.  Well, I say compare, but really, I’d like to oil them up and make them fight it out in a big pool of mud.  Everybody wins in that scenario.]]></description>

The house had two stories with big windows and those black decorative shutters that didn’t actually close.  A [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Sky Crawlers is a powerful and subtle movie and I heartily recommend it.  I wrote a review of the fansub not too long ago, so go <a href="http://flyingwhimsy.com/2009/05/19/reviews/anime-reviews/sky-crawlers-anime-movie-review/">read it</a> if you like.  Why am I talking about this movie again?  Well, it got licensed not long after I wrote that review and has just recently seen its release on DVD here in the states.  Naturally, I have procured a loaner copy for this review until I pick up my own.  Today I am going to talk about the DVD.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week comes a series I was a little hesitant about, but I’m glad I took the time to watch it.  See, there are three categories that a series will ultimately be sorted into: 1) great and artistically worthwhile, 2) entertaining, and 3) craptastic waste of time.  Michiko e Hatchin, though awesome, fits neatly into the second category.  Michiko e Hatchin is another nice reminder of why I’ve been journeying out into the world of fansubs and alternative titles.  Though not spectacular, I was thoroughly entertained.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After my world got rocked by Kaiba, I did something I never ever do: I looked up the director and tried to track down other series he made.  Two rules I try to follow for anime are going into a series blind and never trying to look for more of the same; I figured anything else by the guy would be sufficiently different that I wouldn’t be breaking either of those rules too much.  I consider it more following the spirit of the law rather than the letter of it.  Anyway, Kemonozume was made two years prior to Kaiba, and much to my surprise, was actually rated adults only by Anime Encyclopedia.  Make no mistake: Kemonozume is no hentai.  There’s lots of violence, nudity, and R-rated sex, but there’s nothing pornographic about it.  Supposing that Gantz has an immature fascination with blood and tits, Kemonozume is actually an adult contemplation of those topics with some (good) social commentary thrown in for good measure.  I suppose I should just come out with it now: Kemonozume is one of the most hardcore displays of badassery I’ve ever seen.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Out of the corner of my eye
We make contact
A moment
A pause
A brief flicker of the soul
I saw you
You saw me too
For a moment
Just a moment
I knew you
And possibly
You knew me too
Time moves forward
Your eyes move away
Later, you walk by
Nary a glance
Nothing to say
But that&#8217;s okay
We were seen
We were known
No need to say
No need to stay
