by Leonard Cohen.
Give me back my broken night
my mirrored room, my secret life
it’s lonely here,
there’s no one left to torture
Give me absolute control
over every living soul
And lie beside me, baby,
that’s an order!
Give me crack and anal sex
Take the only tree that’s left
and stuff it up the hole
in your culture
Give me back the Berlin wall
give me Stalin and St Paul
I’ve seen the future, brother:
it is murder.
Things are going to slide, slide in all directions
Won’t be nothing
Nothing you can measure anymore
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
has crossed the threshold
and it has overturned
the order of the soul
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant
You don’t know me from the wind
you never will, you never did
I’m the little jew
who wrote the Bible
I’ve seen the nations rise and fall
I’ve heard their stories, heard them all
but love’s the only engine of survival
Your servant here, he has been told
to say it clear, to say it cold:
It’s over, it ain’t going
any further
And now the wheels of heaven stop
you feel the devil’s riding crop
Get ready for the future:
it is murder
Things are going to slide …
There’ll be the breaking of the ancient
western code
Your private life will suddenly explode
There’ll be phantoms
There’ll be fires on the road
and the white man dancing
You’ll see a woman
hanging upside down
her features covered by her fallen gown
and all the lousy little poets
coming round
tryin’ to sound like Charlie Manson
and the white man dancin’
Give me back the Berlin wall
Give me Stalin and St Paul
Give me Christ
or give me Hiroshima
Destroy another fetus now
We don’t like children anyhow
I’ve seen the future, baby:
it is murder
Things are going to slide …
When they said REPENT REPENT …

Yes, picins is indeed very nice, and especially great for figures that I don’t care for a caption. I believe Tufte has a similar idea of putting a small diagram/chart in front of paragraphs. But I cannot find it on Google now.

arschkalt = ass cold = colorful german expression used to indicate
extremely uncomfortable lack of warmth. americans of a certain age
will sometimes say “cold as a witch’s tit” to indicate similar
temperature readings.
alvar aalto is a famous finnish architect, and “kaalto” changes his
last name to mean “cold-o”, sort of. 
btw, this place really is in the middle of nowhere, and a bit
dormlike… however, the openness is very nice.

New pingback on your post #204 “Ipe & Beamer”
Website: Vanity of Vanities, all is Vanity » Blog Archive » Lowly paper
Excerpt:
[...] [...] Which brings us to the fact that a new version of Ipe (using QT 4) was recently released, and it works very nicely. Especially because you can tell it automatically to save both pdf/eps versions (which is nice if you use latex/pdflatex simultaneously). Sadly, the Debian version is outdated so if you use Debian you might to compile it yourself. Ipe works very nicely if you need animation in your presentation (here is more info). If you want to see talk slides using beamer and Ipe figures, see here (source). And here is a Ipe figure that uses several views for animation in the above presetnation. [...] [...]
