		<description><![CDATA[Some things in Japanese just seem to lose their cool when translated into English.
I&#8217;m sure there are examples where the reverse is true but it&#8217;s much easier for me to come up with these examples.
Fighting words
「ぶっ倒してやる！」 (Cool) -> &#8220;I&#8217;m going to beat you!&#8221; (Not cool)
Technique/Spell/Summon Names
「螺旋丸！」 (Maybe Cool) -> &#8220;Spiraling Round [Thing]!&#8221; (Definitely not cool)

		<description><![CDATA[When I wrote that current spaced repetition software all suck, I wasn&#8217;t saying that you shouldn&#8217;t use them or that the idea of spaced repetition itself sucks. To make an analogy, Linus Torvalds said subversion sucks in a talk about git and while I found his talk interesting I still continue to use subversion. It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

However, on the net, ruby tags are being abused everywhere I see them. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During my quest to give you ever more informative yet mildly entertaining posts about Japanese, I&#8217;ve noticed that the most carefully thought-out posts toiled over for many days and nights often have the least comments. It&#8217;s OK. I&#8217;m assuming it&#8217;s a sign that the post is SO GOOD that nobody has found anything objectionable to [...]]]></description>

For example, if I were to describe it in Chinese tones, you really do need to pronounce 日本 with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[そうそう。前回の投稿では、ブログを日本語で書くって約束したから一応何かを書いてみることにしました。俺は、仕事で臨時作業依頼書だの障害報告書だの、普段何の役にも立たない文章しか書かないので、ちょっぱし苦労はすると思うけど、それはいわゆる「成長」というやつかな？とにかく、何か間違いがあったら是非教えていただきたく。
まぁ、俺にとっていい練習にもなるし、みなさんのためにもなると思って今これを書いているわけだが、肝心の問題は・・・
　
何について書けばいいのか？
　
こういう時は、たいてい自分がやったことや思ったことを書くんだが、俺の普段の生活はとんでもないぐらいつまらないということもあり・・・。
そうだな。例えば、先週末に何をやったかといえば、「涼宮ハルヒの憂鬱」というアニメを部屋一人で全部観ました。情けねえな～。
でも、アニメ自体は本当におもしろいですよ！最初は、ＤＶＤを買おうと思ったんですが、一枚で６０００円・・・　L(･Ｏ･;)」オーマイガーッ
　
んなもん買うか？！
　
あ～あ、やめた、やめた。
　
幸い、Youtubeに全部載っていました。どうやら、klisa0506という物凄い親切な方が１０分置きに分けてPart 1,2,3という形で１４話を全てあげたみたい。ありがとうよ、klisa0506さん！Youtubeだから、画像はもちろん小さいのだが、タダだから文句はいえねーな。
　
朝比奈ミクルの冒険 Episode 00 &#8211; Part 1

つづき
朝比奈ミクルの冒険 part2
朝比奈ミクルの冒険 part3
　
テレビ番組のサイトもまたおもしろい！なぜなら、アニメの中でＳＯＳ団というクラブがサイトを作るんだが、そのサイト（もしくはそのようなサイト）が番組のオフィシャルサイトとして実際に作られているんです！うん、うん、なるほど。どうりで、サイトがしょぼいわけだ。
もし、「涼宮ハルヒの憂鬱」を観ていない方がいらっしゃったら是非観てみてください。俺みたいなお金のない方は今の内にYoutubeで観るといいですよ。（いつ消されるかわかんないから）
個人的には放送順に観ることをお勧めします。（話の順番はこのサイトの「サブタイトル」という部分から参照できます。）
んなわけで、どうでもいいことでずいぶんと自分一人で盛り上がったんですが、次回はもうちょっとまともな内容を考えてみますんで、またきてね。 ♪(#^ｰﾟ)v
（そもそも次回があるというかなり怪しい前提だが・・・）

		<description><![CDATA[Japanese blogs are good reading practice if you can find some interesting ones.
　
Most share some unique characteristics.
　
I don&#8217;t know who wrote the rules of Japanese blogging&#8230;
　
&#8230;but you have to use the &#8220;Enter&#8221; key a lot.
　
The writing tends to be kind of aimless as well.
　
I think celebrity blogs are probably the biggest in Japan.
