wiseheartMy Earthsea books have arrived! Thank you, Ithilwen!
Now I'm going to have many happy riding hours. :))
Oh, and BTW, we've just made it into the EU. [sarcasm]We are officially part of Europe now. Funny, I thought we have been part of Europe for more than a thousand years. The part which always got stomped over by Mongols, Turks and God know what oder invaders, while we had the high honour to be the puffer zone for Western culture.[/sarcasm]
No, really, I'm glad that they finally realized we aren't some barbarians from the Asian deserts. Took them long enough. I just don't get all that euphoric about it.

Date: 2004-05-03 09:29 pm (UTC)OK, I don't usually do this, but the typo is just too funny to let slide...so, Hungary has long been a puffer zone, eh?
Maybe it took Europe all these centuries to realize you're not barbarians because whatever pipeweed they were smoking while ravaging Hungary affected their minds not a little, and all they remembered were the barbarians east of Hungary they'd beat up the year before....

Actually, puffer zone is German, I think. Dratted languages. Why do they have to be so similar and yet completely different?
