webcomics...mmm...

Do you like comics? Well, I do. A lot. A whole lot. So, the concept of 'online comics' excited me from the beginning. First, I was reading any drawn/written bullshit over there, but now, I have a selected few ones to admire. Here are some examples, maybe some day I post more, maybe you'll have to go all the way to discover them, who knows.
The one above is Gunnerkrigg Court.

Then, there is Inverloch of course:




Although the story is not that well, this one is still on my list because of the beautiful artwork:
Earthsong



That's all for today.

two endings

Well, he's gone now and I have to go on with my life, for a couple of months at least. Then I can see him again... Probably...
Anyway, I'm about to finish that monstrousity of a book, I never knew translating would be that boring, even if the book itself was nice. I hope lots of people read it. I am most certainly no writer, I would get bored to death after having done more than ten pages, I even have difficulties with long poems, you know, but I admire those who can do it. Especially if the result is good. So I hope, I did a good job and gave the essence of the book right. Because it's not just about what the author wanted to say, but also how she wanted to say it, so it's not an easy job, I tell you.
Now, back to work.

Some cute pics

I just discovered a new site: Stuff on my cat!
As the title says, it's all about stuff on someone's cat, and it's funny:)
Here are some of the pics I've found funny/cute, go and take at look at it yourself.

Posting from Word

I just discovered a new feature of blogger, I can post from my good old Microsoft Word! That sounds nice, since I have it in front of me all the time (because of the translation process that I just mentioned). Now that’s another test drive, if I can manage to create a decent post from here. If I succeed, I can do it more often. Let’s see…

Translating a book

I was happily translating a book from German for one month already, and grew a bit too many feelings for the main character, I guess.
Now he is stuck in a middle-age inquisition dungeon, bearing different kinds of tortures, and guess what? I have to re-create every single detail, I cannot just skip the brutal scenes as I would if I were just reading it... sob... it breaks my heart, you know...
I hope the poor guy manages to get out without permanent damage. (I don't know yet, because I try not to read any further than the very page I'm translating, not to kill all the curiosity and fun.)

test drive

Well, let's see if I'll find something to post now and then. For now, I have to go back to my calculations for the graduation thesis, so come back in a couple of days...
