Watching TV shows counts as movies in the Super Challenge, so you're not ignoring it completely.

Very true. I didn't even pick up that the rules had changed with respect to books until I saw it on your blog!

I think I was being a bit too rigid in my approach. Having the blog actually makes me feel less inclined to do things because then I have to take the time and effort to write about them afterwards. I don't think writing English book or film reviews will help my Japanese to improve that much. I would do better to spend the time watching/reading more Japanese. I think I might stick with the challenge, but retire my blog.

I have made a list here of all the TV shows I can remember watching in the last couple of weeks and I'll log them on Twitter later. I shall also count Paradise Kiss (I think this is acceptable as a fifth of a book).

Not being disrespectful to any bloggers out there :) I don't have the time to subscribe to --let alone keep current with-- every blog out there, even if relevant. Since presumably comments like

are written fairly recently after seeing the actual information, I think it would be nice if, from now on, we enrich such comments just a little bit further with links like this:

so that casual readers can immediately check and find out --instead of spending a good ten minutes on it-- that it's a change in some HTLAL challenge rules and not some frightening spelling reform we're talking about ;)

Apologies, I will be sure to provide links more readily in future (but I am quite surprised that this log would pick up any casual readers at all!)

Apologies for what? My post was to be taken light-heartedly; by 'casual readers' I meant that it's so long between passes that I really have to dig for anything older than three posts earlier -- I was really like 'what blog? what rules? what are you talking about?'. My apologies if I sounded too harsh, seems one smiley isn't always enough ;)

I guess I should have added a few smileys to my own response to relieve a little tension ;)

I've never really thought about casual readers either. I think I would be surprised if I had many readers outside of team い. I was reading some other people's logs for a while, but now I hardly even have time to read our teams' logs, so I don't read others very often. (Unless I'm procrastinating. This is a great place for that.)

I've gotten a kick out of reading the logs written in other languages lately like schönewälder and emk for French. Cathrynn was posting in Japanese for a time but that was about a year ago (?) Have you guys considered writing your logs partially in Japanese/another language? It would take more time, but we'd get some kanji practice.
