You left a weird off-topic post in the RIO Festival thread, was my best laugh this day.

Born in Odense.

But Danish as a citizen.

She's World nr.9 right now.

That it is.

I love that book.

That reminds me, I have to read Mother Night.  I think (I haven't read it yet, obviously), that it's related to the story of Slaughterhouse-Five.

I love the black comedy in Slaughterhouse-Five.  I was reading it on the bus once and was trying not to giggle too loudly and make a fool of myself.

I have the same problem when I listen to VdGG on my headphones whilst on the bus... not only do I want to tap my foot (and a lot), I also want to mime the lyrics.  I have to stop myself.

BTW James,

Slaughterhouse 5 IS great.

He doesn't care.

Quite good.

James wrote: I love the word defenestration. The thought of a special word for people who jump out windows, just amuses me somehow.

I know. I love the academic dryness and how evocative and silly it is.

No, no. That "started" the Thirty Years War.

We were there the last year of it.

I have no idea where my photos are but I have some from Praha somewhere.  I must try and find them and scan them in.

I wish I'd taken more though.
