Happy holidays!
Happy Halloween to all who are celebrating it and a happy Reformation Day to the rest!
Typical of the German government to change its status from a public holiday back to a regular working day, I could strangle them. Grrrr. Although there seem to be a few states who still list it as a public holiday, so maybe it's just Hamburg. If that's the case, even more grrrrrr.
Here's a picture that does not really fit any of the aforementioned occasions - or both, if you are thus inclined:

(click to see the big picture - although some of the leaves aren't what they were before I uploaded it)
So, nearly time to head off to the Minnesang-seminar.
I don't want to go out there, it's all so cold and grey! I'm inside at the moment and already the cold and damp air is creeping into my joints... And the Bachelor/Master students are always so... keen. Can get on your nerves sometimes. And after that seminar I'll be squashed for a while, in Prof. Berg's seminar, which is a complete nightmare for the fire regulations (should we have any) and thus a typical German seminar. We're around 70 people in a room designed for maybe 20.
The thought of squeezing myself into that room alone gives me the creeps, and it always seems to go on forever and ever...
Ah, well. Off now.

That's a shoddy translation, but I couldn't come up with a better one. Do you know the concept of an "U-Boot Christ"? A submarine Christian? Those people who only turn up for the Christmas service? :D
I was just wondering if that's what's going to happen to second generation Wiccas. Wiccae?

It's Wiccans, btw.

Really? That's strange. I specifically read someone referring to herself as "a Wicca". Hm. Oh, and Willow on Buffy does, too! But maybe that's a subgroup or something. Wiccans sounds so much better. Hm.

Plural: Wiccans
Adjective: wiccan
All English, of course.
