		<title>Adam&#8217;s Oscars &#8212; Best Picture</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Fantastic Mr. Fox
Fantastic Mr. Fox is far and away my favorite movie of the year.  It was perfect in almost every way.
The writing was hilarious; the story was great &#8212; bunch of wild animals band together to defeat the evil farmers who are upset due to one fox&#8217;s (George Clooney) overactive ego.  There&#8217;s also the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Adam&#8217;s Oscars: #8 &#8211; #2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As you may know, I&#8217;m doing my own Oscar balloting this year since my opinion tends to better than the majority of the members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts &#38; Sciences (at least in my opinion).
Basically, I took the 8 highest grossing movies of 2009 and the 8 most well-reviewed films of 2009 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kim Yu-Na breaks her own world record to win Olympic gold</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Enough has been written about Kim Yu-Na&#8217;s performance today, so I&#8217;ll keep it brief.
It was amazing.
On Tuesday, she broke the world record for the short program (she held the previous record) and today she broke the world record for the free skate (she held the previous record).  But she didn&#8217;t just break records, she demolished [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kim Yu-Na and Korean expectations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The New York Times had a great article yesterday on Kim Yu-Na and the enormous expectations that are on her to win the gold medal in Vancouver.
Given that Kim is a national hero in South Korea, “her loss or her winning will be perceived as a national loss or a national winning,” said Kyung-ae Park, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Adam&#8217;s Oscars &#8212; the bottom 8</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago I had this great idea to do a movie playoff.  I took the 8 highest grossing films and the 8 highest scoring Metacritic films and paired them up against each other.*
It turned out to be a dumb idea, but what it did do was allow me to watch movies in a [...]]]></description>

		<title>My gym experience</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let me just start by saying that the best part of my Korean gym is that they have those fat jiggling machines from the mid-20th century.  I love them!  I don&#8217;t use them (because they are almost always occupied), but I love that they are there.
Now that that&#8217;s out of the way, here&#8217;s the rest&#8230;
At [...]]]></description>

		<title>Showing my Korean spirit for Kim Yu-na</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now I don&#8217;t know a lot about figure skating, but when I watch Kim Yu-na, I know I&#8217;m seeing something incredible.  And since the ladies figure skating starts this week in Vancouver, I had to give a preview.
She currently holds the world record in the short program, long program, and combined score.
I don&#8217;t quite know [...]]]></description>

		<title>Seoul Olympic Park</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Giving into Olympic fever, I went out to visit Olympic Park in Seoul last weekend.
I&#8217;m always so divided on the Olympics.  I think it&#8217;s such a gigantic waste of money, but at the same time I can&#8217;t stop loving them.  In my heart I really, really wanted Chicago to win the bid for the 2016 [...]]]></description>

		<title>War Memorial of Korea</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ I went to the War Memorial of Korea several weeks ago, but I haven&#8217;t written about it in hopes that my original feelings about the place would moderate.  It is very different from war memorials in the United States, and I didn&#8217;t want my pre-conceived notions to get in the way (because I do [...]]]></description>

		<title>Two girls, one lunch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I walked in to eat lunch today, I saw a &#8220;pretty&#8221; girl across the restaurant, but I didn&#8217;t pay much attention.  There are a lot of &#8220;pretty&#8221; people in Korea (in my opinion) and I never talk to any of them.
But as I was eating I noticed her talking to the owners of the [...]]]></description>
