"An SEP," he said, "is something that we can't see, or don't see, or our brain doesn't let us see, because we think that it's somebody else's problem. That's what SEP means. Somebody Else's Problem. The brain just edits it out, it's like a blind spot. If you look at it directly you won't see it unless you know precisely what it is. Your only hope is to catch it by surprise out of the corner of your eye."
Douglas Adams

Blogs are wordy arrows aiming (Pffff!) at an SEP hoping to make it visible to others. Totally futile. Because all arrows together end up creating an insanely disorienting forrest of arrows pointing in all possible directions (and then some).
So, my SEP of the day? Just heard that two of my latest translations are hitting the stores. So? I'm happy. And I'm waiting for my sample copies. So I can craddle my newborn paper babies and cuddle the covers. Like an insanely proud parent unit. Which from you're perspective? Is an SEP. Totally. Nobody here speaks German, and the likelyhood of any of you stumbling across it? Next to none. Still. Me? With my SEP? Happy. Very! And because the me that is happy is talkative my SEP turns into a YP - Your problem - because I'm spamming your blog feed. Uaaahahahahahahhlalalalalalalalalalalala....
