Is Christmas in Sweden* as wonderful as I imagine? Like a beautiful holiday greeting card come to life? Or am I romanticizing it too much?

I think you're romaticizing...
Right now it's about 7 degrees celsius and we got some of that really annoying rain. You know the one that's more of a fog than rain.
It's like it has been october for 4 months now.

:edit, added:

You're right on Jul, Touched is right on God, it means good, has nothing to do with religion. And önskar is something like wish. So, I wish you a merry christmas!

DUDE! I didn't realize you were THAT Shawn the Touched. I think we talked a few times in the past. I remember seeing your original stuff a Loooong time ago. You were one of the first indie anime guys on the scene.

How many Shawns the Touched are there? ^^ Yes, of course I remember you, and I'm glad to see you're still active. I am too, though mostly behind the scenes doing paying work instead of my personal projects lately. Still doing occasional personal work, of course. Here are a couple of my "recent" works:

Of course, with what I can do with AS now, I'm a little embarrassed by the lack of movement in a lot of these.

EDIT: Oh yeah, here are some more recent ones:

LOL! Your interview was funny. So that's where that picture comes from.

Please enlighten the rest of us.

Would probably be more appropriate in my introduction thread, rather than in this holiday greeting.

Sure, I wouldn't expect you to post any self-aggrandizing URLs or anything like that here.

Happy New Year.

Touched · Post by **Touched** » Fri Dec 29, 2006 4:42 am

Surely those URLs are anything but self-aggrandising. As I understand it, a brief diversion is acceptable in a Misc chit-chat post, but your request for more information (which now seems insincere) was making me uncomfortable with the length of the diversion, hence my suggestion to move the discussion. There's no need to be catty about it.

Thanks for posting those links. I was unfamiliar with your work - nice stuff.

...the length of the diversion...

Is this the ghost of Joe Barbera??

Sorry man, that was too easy.
