		<title>Open 24/1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It happens. After one has been up for a full 24 hours. One begins to consider the truly deep and profound questions of living in Japan. Why do they only sell taco flavored Doritos? Why do three hambuurgaas + fries and a drink cost less than the hambuurgaa meal? How does Sanko make umbrella sales [...]]]></description>

		<title>Orientation Week</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The remaining part of the orientation week week was busy, but not as completely filled as the first day. Having not been able to buy an umbrella on the first day (I went at 5:00 after all the meetings had ended and found the shop to be closed) I almost had to walk to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>First day at Kansai Gaidai</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It has now been almost a week from the time I am writing about so unfortunately I will not be able to write near as much detail as I would have liked. It is hard to keep up with this blog when most of my time is taken elsewhere! I will be condensing most of [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Apartment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After arriving and being told where my room was I had no trouble finding it. The first thing I noticed about the apartment is that the outer door doesn&#8217;t lock; instead it opens freely into the lounge/kitchen/baths area of the apartment. The next thing I noticed was that it was HUGE. The pictures don&#8217;t do [...]]]></description>

		<title>So much time, so little to do</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I would have written here sooner, but today was packed; the times which I had free I didn&#8217;t have internet access or the will to sit and write. It has been very busy, but in a calm and organized manner. Registration, housing, etc at UNI seemed hectic. Here, it seems much less so.
There is far [...]]]></description>

		<title>ALSA + Microphone + E1505 + Ubuntu Feisty</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since I&#8217;m not taking any type of phone, I needed to get Skype working in order to have easy conversations with people back home. Skype is amazingly easy; a quick, no-extra questions signup through the client (for which a .deb exists) and it is ready to go. Didn&#8217;t even really have to tweak it. Getting [...]]]></description>

		<title>Welcome to Acorn&#8217;s Blog!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since it is now only 2 days before I will leave for Japan, I thought I should probably get this blog up and running. Hard to believe I&#8217;ll be flying there so soon! I&#8217;ll be posting here about my Study Abroad trip in Japan, as well as misc technical things, anime reviews, etc. I&#8217;m not [...]]]></description>
