Humm well I just realized there's a lot of translations going on. I was working on translating a New Age book that one of our sheep wrote, along with my Spanish rose, who is no longer with us. See she spoke Spanish and English but she didn't know any figures of speech so she'd end up translating the whole thing literally, so she's get it into English that didn't make sense and I'd put it in a normal way of speaking. Between the two of us we got it down pretty well. The book was quite special. It doesn't make any sense in either language, and it's comprised of paragraphs with mostly commas and no sentence structure. Here's a quote taken from memory:
And so, we have come to the point. Although I am going to tell you, not now, but I will tell you, that sphere of understanding, the way that two persons can communicate from a far distance, this is the point, that comprehends more then the story itself, for now I must begin.
It was summer, at 7 in the evening, in a hotel called The Sands, but it is the name, that does not matter, only what matters is what happened there, because I am alone, single, and nearing the age of thirty, and the point is the basis of understanding, here is where it will bring the matter closed.
AND so on and so forth. QUITE intense. I love you, Mercy! miss you intensely, we had some swell times translating that. It's called El Punto, or in English The Point. Bet you couldn't have figured that out on your own huh.
Oh yes someone found a map the other day, a tour guide for the rizty extravagant section of Monterrey. Every, single, word was directly translated, misspelled or just did not make sense and oh, it brought SUCH joy to my heart. Like so:
Fashion store: All kind of Fendi clothing for men and women.
Restaurant: The best Thai cuisine in San Pedro. Honesty kitchen. (In Spanish it said something like every dish is cooked with total sincerity)
Clothing store (My personal favorite): The elegance that characterizes the brand is shown in the pieces of stone.
ahahahaha what joy. QUE GOZO que gozo there were more but i don't remember them. Will post if i get ahold of that map.
Here's some pictures that have absolutely nothing to do with this post

Yes, I actually dress like that on a regular basis, try it sometime, it's very liberating.HAHAHA God I love the Internet! It's so weiird. Look that paragraph's all blue and underlined cuz i just linked it to the MO site. tee hee.
WELL go waste your time with Frolic. Frolic has a new blog, I'm announcing it officially. it's called imasokasyourface.blogspot.com and just for the record, lookwehaveawebsite.blogspot.com was way cooler, by far.
