So it&#8217;s going to be literature work &#8212; comparing Wilde&#8217;s <i>Salom&#233;<\/i> and another text (<i>Johannes<\/i> by Hermann Sudermann). That text was published 1898 and it&#8217;s impossible to buy it anywhere (believe me &#8211; I&#8217;ve looked), so I spent some time at the German institute&#8217;s library, photocopying the whole book.

And sitting in the grass, under the stars, surrounded by trees and with a swimming pool right behind me, gave the whole thing a special appeal &#8212; I adore open-air cinemas (we have two every year &#8211; one at the pool and one next to the cathedral), I spent way too much money on them every summer&#8230; <\/p>\n<p>These days I enjoy that kind of evening spent with friends more than going out clubbing &#8212; I&#8217;m getting lazy in my old age, I fear! *g*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At least I&#8217;ll be trying not to. \ud83d\ude42 The last few days have been either very busy or very lazy &#8212; maybe I&#8217;ll get the mix right one of these days&#8230; I could finally talk about my paper and got my ideas pretty much shot down.
