Trying to cram as few clothes and stuff in as small a suitcase and backpack I could find in my attic.
And after the trip, I will find out that I still brought too much.
Sure you're familiar with the concept.
You can have too much luxury...

Confronted with all this terrible news, you probably need a cat. And books.
You're welcome.
I have a couple of assistants like that too...

Obsession...
The good kind.
Just got a reply from a (Dutch) publisher whom I proposed two short novels: excellent books, with a dash of humor, really nice -- but he won't publish them because they are the kind of stuff his public will not read.
Speculative fiction/ literary fantasy, that sort of stuff.
As always, Tom Gauld...

Antwerp, yesterday evening: presentation of the translation of Juan Gabriel Vasquéz' new book (in De Groene Waterman bookshop).
Started reading right away, and it got me hooked from the first page.
So there we are: he started another war.
And what? He expects a medal for that too?
