Can't Find the Words

Here's an oil painting, a companion piece to the "Tired of Kanji" self-portrait: [link]

This one shows a conversation between my Japanese friend Takahiro Yamada-san and I, while I was on a trip to Japan. We were discussing anime and I just couldn't think of the Japanese name for "Ghost in the Shell," and I remember being so frustrated that I couldn't get across what I wanted to say.

(Takahiro-san, the anime was 攻殻機動隊 if you ever read this!)
