An advertised death?

Thank you Ingrid Robeyns for writing up 15 months of Belgian political mess, where I seem to have lost all belief in these childish power games.

I'll just repost my claim for apathy.

There should be something like therapy for countries. Germany needs it to deal with its past, Belgium needs to integrate its multiple personalities. I haven't really diagnosed the other countries, but they seem to have issues, too.

The Netherlands needs it to get over its calvinist culture. ;-)

I might write up something more about it -- if I weren't so damn tired all the time.

Hey but you have good artists!

I'm reading "Les contes carnivores", a book written by a Belgian author whom I didn't know until lately. His name is Bernard Quiriny and I enjoy my reading immensely.

That's the thing: I know Flemish authors, but not French-speaking ones, because they aren't translated, and my French isn't good enough to read a book that's not written by Amélie Nothomb.

I beg to differ. Your French is good enough to read anything !

Hahaha! I can read, but it's very slow, and I don't understand a lot of the words. Actually I should read some things in French, so it would come easier and quicker for me, but I'm too lazy. ;-)
