Arbeit Macht Frei

More unusual days. I was with S is some sort of postgraduate room near the philosophy department. What began as a little look at the Goebbels Diaries (which happened to be on the shelf), ended up as an investigation into Prussian Blue, a rather fascinating white-supremacist pop duo. Following up links, we stumbled around in neo-Nazi blogs, which are quite nasty but very difficult to take seriously. There was the charming young blogger named simply fraulein, who listed as her dislikes "gays and mix people" (sic). An honest, but shamefaced lad described his hair colour as "umm, brown". He won't be given an easy ride, that's for sure.
At least some bloggers were still trying to keep something of an open mind. One chap listed as his favourite books Mein Kampf and 100 Years of Solitude. Now I reckon only one of those is on the KKK bestseller list.

After that madness I went to a rather good concert with M and Lila. This was an unfortunate turn of events for my housemate, Axel, who had mistakenly locked himself in the lounge at home. When Lila and I returned to the house later that night, we found him stoically settled on the couch, watching DVDs. Poor poor boy.
