I just discovered that Nemi has made it across the ocean! I randomly discovered her while visiting a tiny village in Norway, the name of which I can't even remember. I was in a store and saw the cover of the comic and was instantly drawn to it. I got it and made my Norwegian cousin, Egil translate every sketch while traveling by bus and boat along the fjords. I still have the book, a treasured keepsake from my European visit. I occasionally peruse it's pages, trying to remember what they say, trying to pronounce the Norwegian words, conjuring a distant memory of the warm hospitality of my Scandinavian family. When I got back to the states, I searched the internet for more of my favorite gothic comic girl and was hard put to find a site that made any sense to me. Eventually, I found that she was syndicated in the Metro, some UK rag (hey I don't know what it is... A newspaper? A tabloid? I'm just glad she exists in a language I can understand!) so I could occasionally check out what she was up to. Recently, however, I found her at my local library! How exciting, no? Yes! I am so getting a copy of the English version book.... um, someday when I can justify spending whatever it costs to own it... For now, I've got it on loan from the library. Long live the Library! I love you Library, you're like my second love... My first? Well I'll let you guess at that one!

Nemi!

Well, You Never Know Until You Try
The ten of swords... what does this mean?
Am I a martyr, a victim? Have I hit rock bottom? Is my life just a silly melodrama in the vein of Tartuffe? 10 swords... now that's excessive. Where did they all come from?
I think I'm going to marry my art. Nothing else seems quite right.

Pretty Boys
I love the crazy antics of these two Kiwis! Flight of the Conchords is the height of musical hilarity, and you should check them out. We all need a little rediculosity once in a while, especially when we feel like doody. I know you want to grab yourself a kebab, quit your full-time job to become a part-time model and watch a few blips of their show on YouTube. Go for it! You deserve it, damnit!
