Knasher Returns

For the first time in ages, I didn't have to go to Linden Hall today... so I didn't! Instead, we had two Japanese lessons today, though I was falling asleep in the second. We seem to be moving through the textbook at a rate of knots now, though no doubt tomorrow we will halt again. Today we learnt how to say that something has been done with intent, that is, on purpose. We also learnt how to say that something needs to be done for the next thing to occur (preparation). They seem to be rather alien concepts to me – not very precise – and I am sure that I could get away without ever using them. It is good to be able to understand them, though, I suppose.

I paid Kanashima-san, back from her house move, the money for our Hokkaido trip next month: 39,800yen or about £200. I feel rather poor now! Oh, well. We are all going out tomorrow in the evening for her leaving party as well. We are going to a French restaurant, which should be interesting, in the evening.

After getting back from school, I went with Rushen to You-Me town, which is the local department store. He wanted a shirt and some football shoes, which he found and purchased. It took him ages, though. I bought a t-shirt with bad English on it and a CD soundtrack of an anime film: Howl’s Moving Castle.

This road is a left turn prohibition.
…Be not it is not possible not to bend here though there is no time and severe.
Let’s think about the loophole by some means.
Quieting quieting…
It is so.
It becomes a shortcut if coming off to the next road.
It is finally a destination.
It managed to wear it safely though it was somewhat late.

I think it is rather funny! What do you think? Prizes for the best translation back into proper English.
