The Brummies and the Londoners getting it on at the Bloomsbury Ballroom celebrating Bestival 2007 and we still have 4 months to go or the whole of summer ahead of us...i can't wait. Two pirates

Welcome back...I wish some people didn't read this blog in fact I hope they won't. And then there are so many others whom I want them to read it. But we can't have it all...Tonight I felt the need to resurrect this place, ironically enough. I still don't know in what language to write but I do write in Mourga in Greek so I might as well mix it up a little here. I do have ANOTHER blog but it's for

As the song says...It's the day before Good Friday here. I don't know how it's called. In Greece we have the Great week before Easter Sunday so ehach day is Great Monday, Great Tuesday etc...Might translate as Good Monday etc...You get my point unless you have a pea for a brain, at which point I guess everything is green for you and that makes you happy...I see...Yeah so it;s REALLY quiet here,

The time has just changed and I am watching a music chart show. Franz Ferdinand are performing The Outsider like they do in their actual conerts with more than one people banging the drums. Yey! It was one of the highlights of the gig back in November and I am happy to see it again.Flat hunting is not going very well. It is a very stressful affair especially when one is working as I do and there

Today I was meant to go to a work meeting thing but Noel, with whom I'd go there, was ill so we couldn't go. In a way I didn't mind as I'm still coughing uncontrollably and, you know, it's not nice really. So, instead, I spent my day indoors again. It's still very cold here. Oh man, how I HATE winter. Hmmm...I will show you how I want to be all year round (and no, it's not boring); I have a great

Still at home, still at the same position on the sofa - dent included - still coughing, still feeling like shit anyway. When will all this end? It is springtime, technically. There should be some sort of re-birth, right? Well....no....it's fucking cold in these parts of the world, with snow. Still winter, no re-newal. Nothing...I feel very weak from my cold and weak from the pain that has been in

Today was an okayish day...woke up alone, hurting like hell from the "beginners" dance class of the previous day - "hold the pose!"...Went to work, met with Fab Katie for a coffee, walked around, got a bus pass, hopped on the bus, bought milk, got home...I can barely walk but that'll show me to not exercise before....Did some research, started cooking, had juice,ate, excited about seeing

So, the other day an email came to me - how, I don't know- but anyway, it was about this independent online radio station called Radio Indie Pop . The reason I visited it was because in the email it said that Album of the Month was the new B&S album "The Life Pursuit" so wehey, I thought, I am at work and I am bored, let's listen to some music. So I went there and I was sooooooooo happy to find

I forgot to mention earlier about this trend of funny videos online. The information age brings us all closer lol. So there is this website called You Tube where basically you can upload your videos and find all sorts of other videos and funny, even hilarious, stuff. Anyway, last night Babis and Debby and Leanne were educating me on the wonders of funny videos. Some of the people who are in these

Here we are , the year 2006, 10 years after "If You're Feeling Sinister" came out and the new B&S album, "The Life Pursuit" is imminent and it sounds FAB!!! I went and saw one of my favourite bands of all time on the 26th of January at the Birmingham Academy, and boy it was one hell of a gig! There was dancing, there was swearing, there was crowd-surfing, there was excitement and I WAS THERE!

This blog is going through a crisis because I am going through one too. i wasn't in the mood to write at all. I just thought now that I wanted to winge a bit.I am still in Athens and I am freezing. It is very cold and the radiator system here sucks. We use heating oil and as we are in a block of four flats, the central heating switches on certain times in a day. It is cold I am telling you!

Yes I have landed...I am in Athens since Saturday midday. I ate souvlaki -woohoo- and I am complete. Before the trip I managed to sleep for 2 and a half hours so by the time I got to Greec I was dead. In the first flight I had a drunk Polish man next to me - at 5am for goodness sake!- who was SO irritating argh...Great...the mouse has frozen and I will soon have to re-start this state of the art

I am at work. It is 15:50 and I finish at 17:00. Today we have done nothing. Almost. There is a pile of chocolate that is neverending and we are eating it. Since I came in this morning we are just being blobs. I like it but I am a bit bored now. Then again there are no students here so there is not much we can do about that. Tomorrow we will finish really early. I still have not bought presents.

Well it's that time of year. Again. An religious or not, it's a fun, happy season. It doesn't have to be but there is some sort of festive atmosphere and that can only be a good thing. So anyway, I want to wish Merry Christmas to everyone.

Environment? Pfft...Who cares? I don't, not after today. But I guess it all started last night. It was after midnight after all.

I have not written for sometime. Warned you this would happen didn't I? It is typical of me. It is like when I REALLY do want to keep in touch with people yet I just don't email them or call them or text them - ok I never have credit, but you knew that... What is that all about anyway? I am a social person, I like people, I HATE losing people - unless I don't like them. Sometimes you gotta do
