Definitely not Belgium. In Germany people ask me all the time what the hell is going on. Most of them don't know we speak Dutch, French and German. They always say "Oh, you speak Belgian then?". And then the looks on their faces when I say there is no such thing.

Have good one!

Currently i'm reading Beautiful Losers by Leonard Cohen. Quite a good read but i like his songs better 

Oh, tell me if it's worth purchasing =) I read Tom Lanoyes Sprakeloos, which is a thing of beauty. Last week I read Mieses Karma by David Safier - easy summer reading. Now I'm reading The gun seller by Hugh Laurie (one is a fan of the man or one isn't) and at the same time Het derde huwelijk by Tom Lanoye (my favourite Belgian author). In Cologne is Von Bismarck bis Hitler awaiting me.

I'm listening now for the first time and so far I quite like it.

I redecorated my room today. Or rather, I put new pictures in my picture frames. Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Buster Keaton, Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman - Oh yes! Picture on twitpic.

Oooh, me likey! Very classy, Ally =)

Language? Is Holland dutch that strange to you Flemmings?

Don't get me started, you pushy people from the North  We actually have to learn Dutch words because editors don't want any Flemmish in translated books. So we have to study lists like:
"zeg niet 'mager soepvlees', maar 'jeugdvlees'", "zeg niet 'aftrekker', maar 'vloerwisser'" (no, Micky, no!)
In fact, Jeroen Brouwers calls Flemmish 'taalschurft'. I'm sure you understand I have to be a linguistic rebell.

(I'll stop now.)

The other language you might have seen was serbo-croatian without diacritics, which is my father's family's language.

That's what I wanted to know, indeed 

What nationality are you, Eddin? Can't seem to figure the language out.
