	<dc:creator>cathicabbage</dc:creator>
	<description><![CDATA[Hi Mr. Sego,First of all, I have to say that I admire the ingenuity of your creation. In fact, I'm starting to hate myself for not taking up programming and starting (fluff) Friends myself. History is a noble academic subject they said. Pfft! I could be sitting on chockfuls of money, and instead I was forced to fry my brains with Foucault.In any case, I think I should get …]]></description>

	<link>http://ping.sg/item/History_So_What_</link>
	<dc:creator>cathicabbage</dc:creator>
	<description><![CDATA[I've loved history for close to 20 years, been studying it for about 15, and only truly began to understand it for about a year.Memories of secondary school textbook history still haunt me today. Memories of the teacher telling us to ask the question of the five wolves and a hunter. Who, what, when, where, why and how. It was methodical, mechanical, and dead. But they seemed …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[The video is pretty hard to understand, especially for us locals. Thankfully, here's a more detailed report, with a well-written translation of what the little bitch said.In short, the 21-year-old girl by the name of Gao Qianhui decided that the quake disrupted her online gaming habits, and news of the deaths of the victims bored her. And the coup de grace? She said that the …]]></description>

	<dc:creator>cathicabbage</dc:creator>
	<description><![CDATA[My girlfriend calls me a grammar Nazi. I prefer the term grammar fascist, because I actually like Jon Stewart, and I've got no beef (kosher, by the way) with Jews.English modules in NUS make grammar fascists out of most students, due to the leadership and teachings of the grammar Hitlers and Mussolinis. It gets to the point where some of us can dwell over grammar errors of an …]]></description>

	<dc:creator>cathicabbage</dc:creator>
	<description><![CDATA[Acclaim's BOTS is a little gem I've just discovered two days ago, and I have been wondering why I have not come across it earlier.BOTS is a rather simple and yet fun MMO involving the control of, well, you guessed it, robots. Each player simply starts out by signing up for a new account at the BOTS website, downloading the BOTS client, update the program automatically, and …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[As the Chinese New Year approaches, I have been thinking and rethinking.Over the course of a few days, I have been set to rethink a lot of things. It is quite amazing how many ups and downs life has, and how quick a freefall can appear right around the corner.Perhaps I have been thinking too much, or I am just being too sensitive, but I can't help but feel worse and worse …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Turning a horror film into a franchise can be a nightmare, for fans and for the producers. For horror films like Alien and Predator, the first films were, and still are, considered the canons and the sequels have difficulties keeping the stories alive. The surprise elements, the idea of the unknown, the freshness are all gone by the second film.The Alien franchise succeeded …]]></description>

I will just say  that you really are a fat f@ck.I hate you so much that I can no longer disguise my hatred anymore. I hate you more than I hate child molesters. Last year, you gave me a flu. This year, you gave me a fever, cough, flu and a …]]></description>

	<dc:creator>cathicabbage</dc:creator>
	<description><![CDATA[I'm a huge LOTR fan. I've watched the films more than thrice, and I own almost all of the Tolkien books. If I were to go to a costume party, I would consider dressing up as Aragorn. That is if I cannot get a Predator costume first.I've recently rented the entire extended DVD series just to watch them all over again. All 10 plus hours of them. Then I started to let my recent …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[I always have an interest in martial arts, but being lazy, small and fat, I never got around to actually learning any. After watching Human Weapon however, I got myself more pumped up and looking around for MMA classes. I was about to give up looking for a cheap and good course when I was introduced to jujitsu by a school mate.Admittedly, I went for my first lesson yesterday …]]></description>

	<link>http://ping.sg/item/The_Golden_Compass_A_Review</link>
	<dc:creator>cathicabbage</dc:creator>
	<description><![CDATA[There was, and is, much ruckus over The Golden Compass' anti-Christ implications, and, consequently, people's interests were picqued, to say the least. Perhaps that remains what is drawing the crowds into the cinema. Having watched it in person, however, I remain unimpressed. The cinematics aside, the movie feels empty, rushed, raw, and a weak attempt to join in the fantasy …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[People pass-by each of us everyday of our lives. Some we don't recall seconds after meeting them. Some go on to become the ones we love deeply. There are also some we thought we would continue to be close to, but end up growing apart from.I never did have many friends in all 24 years of my life. I met some who I grew to rely on, then slowly forgot about them as time passed. …]]></description>

	<dc:creator>cathicabbage</dc:creator>
	<description><![CDATA[I have recently wrote on how Facebook took my life away from me, making me waste my time doing nothing but poking people around me.Since then, I have been addicted to yet another more potent part of Facebook. It's a free application from Facebook called Warbook. Unlike Facebook, while is a vile attempt to destroy our neurons and waste our youth, Warbook gives us slightly more …]]></description>

	<dc:creator>cathicabbage</dc:creator>
	<description><![CDATA[I went into the theater showing Enchanted feeling rather skeptical about what to expect. For one, I was never a Disney fan, and I would rather watch bulky men get killed by one another. But, as a good boyfriend, there are things that I have to do which I normally won't.As expected though, Enchanted is a film filled with all the musical, comedic and romantic sappiness one can …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Dear Mr. Michel Foucault,First of all, I have to say that I have great respect for you. I know you're somewhere in a land where dead people go. Either watching us from above or below. I think it's the latter because South Park said that only Mormons go to heaven.In any case, I really do respect you. I think all of us who studied or are studying in a varsity do. Except maybe …]]></description>
