A few updates and links

Just a couple minor comments here, mostly, once more, shameless self promotion hoping for some SEO hits.

I've posted a couple articles at random brokering freelance sites in the last couple days just to take a look at the process and see if it is at all, in fact, something that can generate me a passable amount of passive income.

You can read my review of Asano Inio's masterpiece Solanin here, a further discussion of cultural imperialism in Japan here, and a rather extensive article on magical realism in Japan here. Another, briefer history of Japanese magical realism can be found here.

I hope any readers who stumble across this will enjoy them.
