  In fact, the whole of Japan is a pure invention. There is no such
  country, there are no such people.  The Japanese people are simply a
  mode of style, an exquisite fancy of art.

I consider it a mistake to have discussed my clinical depression in this blog.  The general public is basically ignorant about mental diseases, and with the safety of distance, people in the Internet have a belligerence they wouldn’t [...]]]></description>

Google.  Should I play the disgruntled employee and dig up teh gossip?
Or give it the self-help spin and pretend it was all a wonderful tale
with a lesson to learn?  Won’t do neither.  It all feels too
much like dragging myself down [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Skill Slot Theory</title>

He said, but I have this friend who’s also studying in your university and, even with all the work [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am re-watching Sailor Moon with my two-years old daughter, an episode per night, before sleeping.  Sailor Moon is so good it hurts.  I can only imagine what it must have felt like, to be involved in the production of something that’s so awesomely spot-on, so correct (in the sense of Wittgenstein’s æsthetics).

⁂


Lord of the Rings (LotR): good story, bad philosophy.
His Dark Materials (HDM): bad story, good philosophy.
Harry Potter (HP): good story, good philosophy.
Narnia (CoN): bad story, bad philosophy.


⁂


Books of Magic (BoM; the comic book series): better story, and better philosophy (when compared to its successor, HP).

(This is particularly stupid because I’m still around 3kyū level.  I can barely translate a Sakura Card Captors manga with several hours of concentrated effort and hundreds of trips to dictionaries and grammar [...]]]></description>

Problem is, these writing prompts are mostly for the kind of story I have no interest in — things like «write about love at a distance» or «write about how you’d fix a mistake you made in the past».

⁂

Ok, Sayōnara Zetsubō Sensei:

É mais ou menos a mesma coisa que a Escolinha do Professor Raimundo, mas se o Professor Raimundo fosse japonês, deprimido e suicida, e a Escolinha ficasse no Japão contemporâneo mas um Japão ainda com a estética do período Shōwa, e se os programas da Globo fizessem humor político/literário/nonsequitur basicamente impossível de [...]]]></description>

		<title>Re: estupro, aborto e linchamento moral</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(Respondendo ao robteix].

Eu concordo, o episódio tem três pontos-chave.  Mas discordo sobre quais são.  Os pontos foram:


Um estupro.
Um aborto.
Um linchamento moral simbólico que marcou para sempre a vida de pessoas inocentes, do qual faz parte algumas excomunhões.


O problema com os cristãos não é a moral retrógrada e irracional; o problema é que eles [...]]]></description>
