Well, that was クール

I said I wasn't going to do much more Anki.  Takes the joy out of it.

But something else put the 嬉しい back in.  I picked up my print copy of ライオンと魔女, picked a random spot, and read:

「魔女は、ものすごくおそらしいひとなの。じぶんではナルニアの女王だといっているけど、ちっともそ権利がないひとでね、フォーンもドライアードもナイアードも、小人たちも動物たちも、いいほうのひとたちはみんあ、魔女のことをからってるわ。

Admittedly there are parts I'm not getting.  But I get witch, person, self-of-as-for, Queen of Narnia, is saying, but ("She calls herself 'Queen of Narnia,' but..."), faun, dryad, naiad, dwarf, animal, people of the good way, everyone, dislike, and the closing "wa" particle meaning it's a girl or woman talking.  ("She calls herself 'Queen of Narnia,' but ... the fauns and the dryads and naiads, the dwarfs and the [talking] animals, all the good people, they just hate her." -- I remember a little from the book, too, which helps.)

So I'm popping 権利 and 小人 and 魔法 and some other terms into Anki.  Maybe if it's fun terms I won't be so mind-numbingly bored.
