Freu, Freu! Frau Bhuti is hosting this year’s Secret Santa blogs. Blogwichteln is guest-blogging on someone else’s blog secretly and them never figuring out who you are! So much fun. Last year the most charming blogger you could ever wish for gave me a delightful entry. Herr Hollemann was running the show, but he’s moved [...]
You simply must see the great Disney exhibition at Kunsthalle der Hypo-Kulturstiftung in Munich, which traces the European images that inspired the look of Disney’s films. I had some surprising insights. And the gauches, pastels, oils and paintings on celluloid produced in the Disney Studios are just delightful. (Exhibition through 25 January 2009.)
As I was [...]
I found the following very charming “Secret Santa” or “Wichtel” in my in-box. Thank you so much, Unknown Wordler and Help-Shift-Happener (and thank you, Hollemann, for running the show):
Liebe Anne, or should I say
dear Anne?

If a blogwichtel kommt daher and reads this blog and thinks “o, jemine, o graus, das ist ja ois änglisch” please don’t worry, I can also read German. Or Frankonian or Bavarian or Suebian. Whatever.

Beautiful, touching photos and text. Also see Phillip Toledano’s website.

Interesting bloggers are involved, and it’s a lovely challenge, so I’ve been boldfaced enough to sign up. You too? Register by 8 [...]
When I first started this blog I was unsure what approach I should take. I mean, I don’t stand in the middle of town talking to myself. And I keep my private life private. At least I used to think I did. Until I got this message on Skype from a woman in Russia who said, “Anne, do you know that your secret journal is online?” Last week, when I told my brother Adam over a Mass at the Oktoberfest that I had blogged about our mother, he gave me this very strange look. My husband tells me my topics are too complicated. So what am I doing it for? Give me a few minutes of your time, and I’ll explain.
