Po Pi Po

By Miku. It's a song about vegetable juice. :P Hi! I figured out a name for the restaurant, and it's kind of growing on me. ^_^ I also finally started the 5th chapter. This one sounds like it's going to be interesting, too! It seems to be going a lot smoother too. I still don't know what's going to happen in this chapter, just kind of winging it. :P


Naruto and Sakura finally reunite with Sasuke. Only, he could care less and tries to kill Naruto and Yamato. Sai saves Naruto. Yamato was able to save himself, although he was badly injured. Orochimaru and Kabuto step in before the situation got worse, and they tell Sasuke to leave with them. Sai stops working for Danzou, and starts to only work for team Kakashi. He starts painting more for leisure. He also titles one of his works as Friends and it has Sakura, Naruto, and himself. He also starts reading books on manners, social situations, and on friends in general. Eventually he gets the 'bright' idea to come up with pet names for everyone based on their characteristics. He calls Sakura a hag. :P Obviously that doesn't go well. He almost calls Chouji a fat ass. You never want to call him fat! :D He decides he'll try the opposite of their characteristics and calls Ino Miss Gorgeous. He gets beaten up by Sakura, which he says he can't win with her. Naruto's going to go through a new training method and make his own jutsu with Kakashi and Yamato's help. I stopped right when Hidan and Kakuzu show up, battling the 2 tails. (They're in the picture above.

The next problem was similar to the last one. This time it was about a letter that a Miss Risa wrote to a Mr. Ueyamato. It was pretty long too. So, I'll summarize it. She thanks him for giving his umbrella to her in the pouring rain. (It first says he let her borrow it but left it for her. :P So, I consider it as him just giving the umbrella to her.) So, she made sweets (or candy) to give something back for his kindness. The funny thing is I think they actually write down the time with the date of the letter. Very odd to me. I'd just put the date. :P The question is what did Miss Risa do? Choices:
おかしを 買いました。(The sweets were bought.)
かさを かりました。(The umbrella was borrowed.)
かさを かえました。(The umbrella was returned.)
おかしを つくりました。(Made the sweets.)
I chose the last one since she didn't return the umbrella, and she didn't ask to borrow the umbrella. She didn't buy the sweets, she made them. That was the last of the practice test questions. I'm going to try and make my own sentences with what I've learned next. Maybe write a letter or something. I also get my test voucher this week. Wahoo! It will become more of a reality when I get it. I'm already excited about it! ^_^




The creature in Primeval this time was called a 'Terror Bird', which apparently the actual name for them is Titanis. The ARC gets taken over by Johnson. The team make it out before and make it to an old lodge that's surrounded by a field of landmines. O.O The team find ways of defending themselves against the pack of these birds. Johnson's men get killed off though. Becker finds a way to oust Johnson from the ARC. (He puts a mic on so the minister can hear what's being said about him from Johnson. He fires her.) All in all another crazy episode. :P

I played a cute game called The Blue Beanie. You have to find this little guy's blue beanie and somehow get away from a bird. I tried drawing a bit too, but didn't get far before we needed to go grocery shopping. I got part of the girl's kimono done, or at least sketched out. Oh, and I watched Hetalia. It was about the history of America, mainly about the colonies. Interesting interpretation. :P

Fuusen Gamu

by Captain Straydum from the Gintama soundtrack. Hi! I decided to wear my 'devil' horns, red and black sweater, black pants, black beaded necklace, and my new orange pumpkin earrings for Halloween. Wasn't really trying to be anything this year, so it made it a bit easier. Parents came home just before the kids started trick or treating. They brought some KFC- fried chicken, mashed potatoes, cole slaw, and biscuits for dinner. I haven't had anything fried in a while, so it was nice. :P Obviously, we had some candy for dessert. :D Some of the little kids looked so scared, I felt like picking them up and hugging them. Kind of weird coming from me. There was a kid who said trick or trick. XD I almost said no candy for you then, but thought that would be too mean. We watched Night of the Living Dead while I stopped every few minutes to give out candy. I like that movie, but I was disappointed that there wasn't much of a selection of other movies. It was funny watching Medium again after the movie. They did a spoof on it. Also, during all this there was an orange cat that decided that our porch was safe from the kids. One of our neighbors owns it and we see it every once in a while. It was really friendly and looked like it wanted to eat the candy. Also, it was trying to come in the house. Eventually, one of the kids saw it, and took it away somewhere. After I told them it wasn't ours and that it's ok if it was there. O.O I hope it's alright now.

Last night, I had the fullest night's sleep I've had in a while. I kind of slacked off a bit today. XD So, this probably won't be too long. :P I played a few games. I seem to be addicted to one called Diner City. You try to compete against another restaurant for the most customers and money. The more money you get the more things you can buy. I like the sushi restaurant, so I usually pick that one. You can have music playing outside for the customers, a singer, neon lights, menus outside, summer seating, a pond, and more. The more stuff I can buy the more addicting it becomes. XD Also, the more the customers that are happy the more money you'll get. The other game I played was called Naruto: Battle for Leaf Village. Very addicting too. You go around killing other ninjas, picking up new weapons, new techniques, killing snakes, etc. I beat the game though, so I guess it wasn't much of a challenge, but it was still fun! :P

日本語
I'm going to skip to the practice problem I finished today. ^_^ They said for the next sentences, don't respond to the blanks. They'll be a question at the end to answer. It was a pretty long dialogue between 2 guys one named Tom and the other Yamamoto. I'll summarize it English. It's about Tom asking what's good at a restaurant called Manpukua. Yamamoto says the Tempura is best, and Tom asks how much it is. He says around 1,500 yen, which would be equivalent to about $15. It's too expensive for him, so he asks for a cheaper place. So, Yamamoto tells him where the closest cheap place is, which is Gohana. Tom thanks him in the end. The question was is Mr. Tom going to go to Manpukua? Options:
安いですから、いきます。(To go, because it's cheap.)
高いですから、行きません。(Not go, because it's expensive.)
おいしいですから、行きます。(To go, because it's tasty.)
とおですから、行きません。(Not go, because it's too far.)
The answer I figured out was the second one. It was too expensive, and he asked for a cheaper restaurant. :P It was fun figuring out the dialogue. Next one is about a letter. I'll work on that tomorrow.

Hope everyone had a happy Halloween. :P Oh, and apparently someone said they liked the 4th chapter so far, and will read the rest later. It's nice to hear people are still looking at it.
