I don't have anything new to report  
Meh, I don't feel like doing anything except lying in bed and reading Chamber of Secrets. I'm currently rereading the book, so I can go through the new chapters on Pottermore (I know, they're not that new - but unfortunately the new chapters went up just before the Muse gig, so I didn't have time to explore them then, and later I was busy with post-concert stuff). It's so comfortable! I don't mean lying in bed, I mean the book. This is one of the reasons the Harry Potter series are my favorite books, because when I read them I kind of feel secure.
Might sound silly, but that's a language thing. The feeling sounds better in German.

Heh, 'tryg' looks kinda funny. I guess if people had to say what 'geborgen' looks like to them, they'd call it derpy.

I translated the German word in French and it gave me our equivalent of 'safe', and that's exactly how the HP books make me feel. Makes me want to re-read them as well, instead of reading all that depressing French lit I have to study :)

For me safe is more of a neutral word, it lacks the meaning of comfort that geborgen has. I guess I should just say comfortably safe in English.
