Also, there must be a better way to look up kanji than looking through every n-stroke character.
here goes:
今日はまた嫌機だ悪いですね
Today, I hate that evil machine.
村上が死んだのもこういう時だった
When Murakami died...
I know these are probably totally off-kilter, since that doesn't make much sense to the plot. Who's Murakami? Is it some reference to heaven (village above?)

今日はまた嫌機だ悪いですね makes absolutely no sense. Check the original.
村上が死んだのもこういう時だった means "It was a day (or time) like this when Murakami died."
