		<description><![CDATA[I honestly never put much stock in Murphy&#8217;s law because I always sought to be the &#8216;true optimist&#8217; in Sartre&#8217;s words. In his seminal essay &#8216;Existentialism is a Humanism&#8217; Sartre describes the true optimist to be the ultimate pessimist. Man can rely on and must rely on nothing else except himself. He must not find [...]]]></description>

I don&#8217;t want my impressions on the wonderful anime series muddied by what I would have read in the novels: the anime is different from the novels, and that is simply that.

Because my days of being able to read freely were dwindling, I sought to read as much as I could the previous week (thus the lack of updates).
