		<description><![CDATA[Well, today I turn 32.
I figure since it&#8217;s been a long time since I&#8217;ve updated, I&#8217;d give a report on how things have been for me recently. A &#8216;State of the Richard&#8217;, as it were.
In July 2007, I moved from Maryland to California, to work for a video game localization company. I am a &#8216;Assistant [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I apologize for the long, LONG delay inbetween my last post and this one.
Things have been quite hectic for me since this past June. I&#8217;ll go into more detail when I can, but for now, let&#8217;s just say things are going pretty good for me right now.
On the writing note, I HAVE been writing. Just [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From Saturday (June 23, 2007):
Setup: I&#8217;m in line in a Starbucks in a Barnes and Noble. I see an Asian couple walk in. The guy is wearing a &#8216;Looking for a Japanese girlfriend&#8217; t-shirt. After speaking to my friend, K, for a second, I decide that I need to ask a question.
Me: Excuse me, do [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a quick translation of a Japanese fan song, called &#8216;One Hundred Ten Million Memories&#8216;.
(I first heard about this at my friend Jamie&#8217;s site, Angry Zen Master.)
The music is by Family Comcert, and my preferred version is sung by Mao Komiya as part of C.H.S.

It’s something I did when I was a kid

		<description><![CDATA[Apologies for the long delay. Again. Things have been kind of hectic.
Some people have asked me, &#8220;Why aren&#8217;t you going to cons anymore?&#8221;
The answer is simple, yet complex.
The simple version: A lack of time, a lack of money, and a desire to avoid the fandom for a while.
The complex version:
I&#8217;m trying to devote more of [...]]]></description>

Before I get to the other posts I&#8217;ve had brewing in my head, let me talk about why I&#8217;m keeping this blog at all.
The main reason is that I wanted to have a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nature and I don&#8217;t get along very well.
It generally goes like this:
Richard: Hi, Nature! You look very beautiful today.
Nature: I hate you. Die.
Richard: It&#8217;s such a lovely day, and you&#8217;re in full splendor.
Nature: *chokes Richard*
Richard: *is choked, dies*
I am unfortunately very allergic to most flowering plants, along with animal danders and apparently dust. This means [...]]]></description>

I have never been anti-alcohol or smoking, though I&#8217;m not really for them, either. (I used to smoke, too, but that&#8217;s another story) I enjoyed a drink or two when I was in [...]]]></description>

There used to be (and still is, to a point) a large multitude of game genres. Adventure, sports, role-playing, shooting (the side-scrolling kind, not the first person kind), you name it. Lots of different people were making games for lots of different audiences, and chances [...]]]></description>

When I got back to the U.S., and started school again, I found that I missed being able to call people whenever the [...]]]></description>
