I just received one copy each of LVE 5 and LVE 6. Of course they look - same as the volumes before - perfectly wonderful (*). Cover, titles, durations, etc. you can check in our official KS website; the covers are also here.
As already announced, they will be "in the shops" on last weekend of June. German Amazon offers them at the moment for 25.99 € each; a week before it was only 21.99 (!) And jpc.de offers them for just 19.99 (but plus postage), at least when I checked at six o'clock this afternoon.
(*) I just found one little typo - a wrong plural s - which I have overseen when I did the proofreading).

"... Da zwingt unser schwarz-gelbes Kompetenz-Team gerade den Sozial-Staat in die Knie, und die Bevölkerung hat nichts Besseres zu tun, als im Rudel Moped zu fahren oder sich beim Grand Prix Musikanten Wettbewerb in Ekstase zu schreien. Politik ist von der massenkompatiblen Festplatte schon längst gelöscht worden. Die Regierung freut es. Gegenwind aus der Bevölkerung ist so mühsam. ..."
Fussball kommt noch dazu.

Habe meinem Sohn gerade erklärt, dass & weshalb Telefonnummern in USA-Filmen immer mit "555" anfangen... da seh' ich abends zufällig im TV den Film "Last Action Hero", und, was zum Teufel...? Genau dieser Hollywood-Kniff wird im Film erwähnt und mehr oder weniger ausführlich erklärt (der Film persifliert die und spielt mit den Mythen Hollywoods, vor allem denen der Action-Filme).
Nicely said (a quotation from Last Action Hero):
Nick: There are lots of things worse than movies: politicians, wars, forest fires, famine, plague, sickness, pain, warts, politicians...
Jack Slater: You already mentioned them.
Nick: I know I did. They are twice as bad as anything else.

Julia und ich, wir haben es endlich, endlich, endlich entdeckt, dieses sagenhafte Etwas, über das jeder munkelt und auch jeder eine Meinung hat. Auf dem Weg zum Billard-Spielen fanden wir es verschämt versteckt in einer schmuddligen Berliner Häusernische:

The PC is here again and the whole day I tried to put my "old" programmes and files on the new harddisk; mostly I was succsessful (or just lucky).
Not yet working: My beloved text programme "WordPerfect 12" (for The KS Circle, which should be written, printed & posted in the next few days) and "Photoshop CS" (not quite so important) ... because both do not accept my six years' old serial numbers/codes.
Of course I can use Microsoft's "Word" for doing the "Circle" (it is waiting for me on the harddisk), but I'm used to & I love WordPerfect, 'cause I use it since 1992 and know it throughoutly.
PS: Thanks to Julia, I have now WordPerfect again.

One week ago my PC's harddisc went on strike and now my daily tool is in the hands of a specialist here in Berlin, because this time even PC virtuoso Lennart in Tuebingen could not help me via the telephone, as he kindly did, and always successfully, during the last 16 years.
Meanwile, in these dreary days I am allowed to use Julia's laptop, but only during the small time she's not using it and out of house (at the moment she's buying a table-cloth at a shop in Friedrichstrasse).
Of course, all my addresses and other helpful data are NOT on Julia's Samsung, which isn't really positive for my daily work. Let's hope that I can at least finish the June issue of THE KS CIRCLE in time... If not, then you know at least why.
PS, 21 May: I just was told that I will get back my necessary tool only on next Tuesday (25th) ...hopefully with an intact hard disk that includes all its former contents.
PPS: The new table-coth (Tischdecke) looks much better than the old one. Julia has a good taste and hand for such things.
