Weekend. Time for some housekeeping. First of all, this weblog is now exactly one year old. Get out the champagne. Second, I've added a few more spreads to the Corgi and Dinky Toys gallery. The Snorkel Fire Engine is fantastic. Enjoy. 3:40:47 PM     |

Pixel Stuff. Funny little gif animations, blinkies and more are at moguchan. I found the link at all things kawaii, the site 'dedicated to cute'. 1:37:20 PM     |

Arno Schmidt. The Arno Schmidt Stiftung is getting better and better. Latest offer is the complete and extended inventory of Arno Schmidt's library (PDF), which is quite interesting. As a matter of fact it's very interesting indeed. And it's a free download. Free as in Free Beer. Guten Morgen! Ab heute gibt es auf unserer Site "Die Bibliothek Arno Schmidts" von Dieter Gätjens, überarbeitet und ergänzt von Günter Jürgensmeier (Menü Archiv, Untermenü Bibliotheksverzeichnis). Ergänzt wurden u.a. die Inhaltsverzeichnisse von Werkausgaben und ein Verzeichnis der Bücher nach Standorten geordnet. Das Verzeichnis kann als PDF heruntergeladen oder online genutzt werden (aber auch online braucht man einen Augenblick Geduld). Mit freundlichen Grüßen Susanne Fischer May I point my English/American readers to the translated Arno Schmidt? In a style often compared to that of Joyce's Finnegans Wake , Schmidt creates a kind of dreamlike narration that relies heavily on wordplay (especially neologisms) and floats in and out of the characters' subconsciouses. . . . Schmidt captures a colloquial German speech that Woods deftly translates. - Publishers Weekly Picture by The Cartoonist. That thing's hanging on my wall. Sad, isn't it? 12:19:06 AM     |
