Yes, I'm still alive. Hi!
And I'll be 100% on Dreamwidth from now on - if you are wondering, well, *shakes fist at Release 88*. The reasons why I dislike the new S1 (S3??) style, well - I can pretty much only echo everyone on the above post. Gah.

Loriot has died. And Neens is sad.
My grandparents had three Loriot books with drawings (that my mom has now inherited) and I loved looking at them whenever I was at theirs. And my sister and me went to the Loriot exhibition some years ago in Hamburg - simply lovely.

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
I can't help trying to remember the author or title of this one children's book. I've been trying to do so for years, actually.

English translation of Anton Hysén's coming out interview/article in full length
I've bought 11Freunde last month because they had the original interview with Anton Hysén where he outs himself, in full length and translated from Swedish into German. Now here it is, typed up in full length and translated into English by me. Wonky pictures will follow.

Random: I totally *heart* Ype & Willem.
And the current strip is so much love, really: here!In Dutch, though, but the context is easy to understand (it helps that many Germans consider Dutch to be just another German dialect *g*). I've been following the strip for years, and they're too cute for words. ♥ And yes, they're a couple; the photo strips are sort of autobiographic and there are ( Read more... ) -
