Tales from the crypt

2006-06-12T20:52:00.000-07:00

You know how toddlers throw huge ass fits?
Fists clenching, heads banging, tears rolling, blood curdling screaming, toys smashing?
Five minutes later they're insanely happy again right?

I just tried it. I must report that the end result was slightly different.

My mascara smudged, my voice took a hike...along with my dignity. My brain cells are in a coma. I threw out my back, body parts I didn't know existed are swelling.
I'd pour myself a drink right about now but all the glasses are decorating the new *trashed ala chic* look the house is sporting. Maybe I'll straighten it up tomorrow... or burn it.

Oh well, dont you have to try everything at least once?
You know...just in case the end result is insane happiness.

*Yawn* tonight's ramble has come to an end... besides I have to go answer the door for the cops.

I bought a book, and not just any book, a book the size of a small building!
It's full of fashionable, flamboyant, vain photographs.
I have a bit of a crush on it but shhhh....

It's interesting how I don't post about all the important things that happen in my life.

In the last few months I've gone to festivals, concerts, met amazing people, and rather surprisingly even put some order to at least some of the crucial yet ignored ideas that have been floating around in my mind for oh shall we say, the best part of the last few years.

But have I posted about any of it? Nope. Zero. Nada. I dare say I'm not cut out for blogging. I'm just not an open enough kinda girl...that or I'm plain ol'lazy.
But for some odd reason I haven't said Sayonara...so if any of you still want to read what kind of silliness I can come up with, but which actually is really of no particular importance, you are more than welcome. (Yes, I know, how very generous of me. )

Randomness part un:
Loxy fady of http://www.loxyfady.com/ fame , is a good stranger to write long-assed letters to. And the best part about it is, she actually sends long ones back in return, which is surprising cuz usually I get one-liners back, you know... of the "Get a life" sort.

Randomness part deux:
How beautiful is the last track on Bowie's album *Low* ? If your opinion is different than mine... well uh, I dont care what you think OK?!!

Randomness part trois:
Someone recently called me uber retarded. I liked it. I liked it alot.

Randomness part quatre:
Yes, I googled the spellings of the french numbers....

Assault on the senses

Breaking the Waves (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115751/), is probably one of the most heartbreaking films I've ever seen.
It captivated me, it pissed me off, I adored it and yet, I don't know if I could see it again.
If you're an aspiring actor/actress (watch it and learn, Emily Watson is perfection). Hell, it doesn't matter if you're an aspiring anything, if you give a damn about films, watch it! Ohh I'm dramatic I know ; )

Hey you,
voices in my head
You can talk
Just please
One at a time

I was going to post about complex realities but who cares about them anyway.But I will ask some of my infamous profound questions...

2006-04-15T09:54:00.000-07:00

How did the "Headless Rider" know where he was going?

If ghosts have the advantage of being invisible, why do they insist on being *caught* by wearing a sheet?

Where is Old Zealand?

Since everyone automatically answers when asked " What is the secret of your success" how come its considered a secret?

Instead of taking something that is "good for your headache" wouldnt it be more logical to take something that is "bad for your headache"?

In the process of a breakup, shouldn't the phrase " You will never find another like me" be considered a wish/blessing instead of a threat? Duh, they dont WANT to find another like you...thats why you're breaking up!

Phew, it feels good to come out with all this, they were building up and I was feeling terribly confused. = )

SOS

2006-04-06T10:40:00.000-07:00

This morning at the gym, the lady on the treadmill next to mine dropped her CD player. As she bent to pick it up I glanced at the CD that had rolled out from it.

*Scriptures: The Song of Solomon*

(Small pause for shock and disbelief)

"Thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead" (96 kcal burned)
"Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn" (heart rate above average)
"Thy nose is like the tower that hangeth over Damascus" (150 kcal burned)

She must have a lot on her plate.. the poor Christian lady, having to combine working out, the word of God, AND erotica!

I'm impressed...in a disgusted sort of way.

Shalom

Sometimes you see a side of yourself that you really hate.

What sucks is when someone you love also sees that side.

And all you wanted was to prove that you actually are worth being loved.

But you fail....

2005-10-27T20:07:00.000-07:00

What a sad example of negligence this blog has become! Keeping up with a blog can be a pain in the ass but I've had a nice "vacation" and here I am once again pondering what to blog about.
So, I'll just ramble as usual....

Last night I went to a HIM concert. It's quite ironic that I would go to one of their concerts in the States as in Europe they're pretty damn huge but hardly anyone knows about them here.

It was a small venue but there was a good 500 people there which was I'm sure a small crowd compared to what they're used to, but hell of a lot more than what I was expecting. Another thing I wasn't expecting was that they'd pack 500 people in a venue that can barely hold 200!

First of all Americans have some fuckin pent up aggression. Don't get me wrong...I dig a sweaty,grimy, screamin, body bumpin, crazy concert as much as any true rock chick! But the place was full of raving lunatic hormonal maniacs! I was never so close to wanting to punch a couple of hundred annoying teenagers in my life! ( Ye children of little something or other ,you will live to see another concert again! Now...pass the chill pills!)

So besides having to remind myself that I'm in concert and not World War bloody 3 it was worth it all when Ville Valo finally came out. And yes, that is the lead singers name, not a lollipop convention. It makes sense though....he's Finnish.

I'm not even HIM's biggest fan I was just happy to see them because Ville was the coolest and hottest guy I've seen in a long time, because I can't resist a man who sings with a ciggy dangling from his mouth or fingers the entire time...and oh his voice is damn sexy. Call me vain.

I also finally went partying on 6th street in Austin! You wouldn't believe the amount of godawful drinks I had to down before finding a bartender who could mix properly. I was so happy I would've asked him to marry me, but I'm already married so I settled for a quick screw in the bathroom....Nah, I'm kiddin!!
But I had fun, and I loved all the cops with their horses parading the street. I'm sure the guy they attacked in front of everyone and held his jaw to the ground with their knees didn't love them all that much tho. Again what's up with the aggression ppl? Surreal stuff!

Ok I've had enough of typing. Happy Halloween!!

Just shoot me

Forget all the new shows starting a new season on tv. The only channel you can afford to watch this year is the Weather Channel, lest you be caught unaware of which new hurricane is about to strike!
All joking aside, good luck to all those evacuating and may this one be the last one.

What's wrong with this picture?

2005-09-19T20:46:00.000-07:00

As nature would have it, each woman must relive her teenage routine life (Pimples, greasy hair, moodswings) once a month. Why on earth couldnt it also throw in the perky boobs and ass huh?

Ramblings

2005-09-19T13:52:00.000-07:00

There used to be a time when a ball was announced months before the event and the guests obsessed and counted the minutes, till the day finally arrived.
A time where dining in the local restaurant/taverna/diner with your friends lasted for hours.
A time where when soldiers were at war the country they left behind would be in a state of mourning and people would rejoice in the streets when the war was over.
A time when people wept(or celebrated) when their leaders passed away.
A time when a single kiss was worthy of a play.
A time when you would be elated to receive a handwritten letter from a friend or lover.

Is it just me or have our attention spans gone down to the size of a peanut?

We expect everything to be done immediately. We get annoyed when our means of transportation is late, when it takes more than 5 minutes for the waiter to serve us or when a link on the internet doesn't appear in 1 second.
We think the world has ended when our date doesn't try to kiss us on a first date, or god forbid he doesn't call us in 36 hours or was it 48?

We watch the news and we are reminded of the current events, sometimes we are outraged, sometimes we cry, on rare occasions we laugh. For the most part we sleep quite soundly that night.
Its not like we are completely insensitive. We are still concerned about the wars, the catastrophes, the crimes but they don't really haunt us.
We have become so used to the media overload that indeed, we do voice our concerns,but do they truly affect our day to day lives?

I'm not saying that I'd like to go back to waiting indefinitely for all the above things, Im just amazed at my intolerance to do so.
Truth be said, I am happy to be part of this modern age. At the same time I cant help but wonder if the world we live in has become a lot less passionate.

2005-08-26T06:30:00.000-07:00

One thing that's fabulous about school is that it knocks your kids out by 8.30 pm.
Which means a bit of time in the 24 hour period for just...moi!
Last night I watched two films.
The first was "Head in the Clouds".
Frankly,I'm too lazy to get into what its all about. I thought Stuart Townshed and Charlize Theron had alot of chemistry (they're a couple in reality) and were rather sexy onscreen together which is basically the only reason to watch it.
Starts out well but kinda messes up towards the end.

Sideways on the other hand, was fantastic. I have been wanting to see it all year but hadnt gotten around to it.
Miles Raymond (Giamatti), a divorced middle school teacher and failed novelist, and his altar-bound friend Jack (Church) take a wine-tasting trip in California, pondering questions about their directions in life.
I loved the Miles Raymond character, possibly because I related to the manic depressiveness and failed novelist parts. Heh heh.
The only bad part of the experience was not having any delicious wine to drink , so definetly have some wine on hand if you watch this, or you'll spend the entire movie craving for some.

I just had the perfect Indian takeaway meal. It made my day.
There's nothing more dissapointing than going out to eat or ordering food from home and it tasting like shit.
We ordered lasagna once and it tasted like boiled liver and "slopwash". I should have known better, when I talked to the guy to order it....
Him: Something or other restaurant. How may I help u?
Me: Yeah hi, I'd like to order the large lasagna.
Him: I dont think we have any left.
Me: Well it's ok........
Him: Hey wait actually I think we can scramble something together for ya ok?
Me: Oh ok thanks.

Yeeeeah not a good sign, but by the time it dawned on me the dogfood had merrily made its way to our house.

Anyway all that to say, that I had great Indian food and it made me blissfully happy :)

Evolving

2005-08-13T08:33:00.000-07:00

Adolescence:

I noticed a bunch of young teenage girls at a store I was in the other day. They were loud ("Oh my gawd, look at this shirt, its like, awesome"), they were giggling like hyenas (everytime a guy passed by) and ofcourse they all looked identical.
In short, they had all the qualities that make teen girls so uh ....endearing.
Surely I couldnt have been so annoying in my teenage years?
* I only wore black till 16 to show my loyalty to grundge and rock. But at the time so did everybody else.
* I was naturally always right! No ifs and buts about it.
* I'd stare at boys and then quickly look away if they looked back.
* I was an emotional wreck. My world as I knew it fell apart at least once a week.
Thank (insert entity you believe in here) we learn to chill out.

Friendship:
Some old friends came to visit. Hadnt seen them in about 4 years.
It slowly became apparent that the only thing we still had in common was our old friendship.
Our interests, our tastes in the arts, our definition of having a good time, our beliefs, they had all changed. We automatically switch from friends to acquaintances.
It seems only a handful of people become best friends that "get" you for life.
Life wouldnt be the same without them.

Children:
I have two lovable lunatic sons. They are now 8 and 6. I used to look forward to them growing older. Thats not quite the case anymore. They are growing too fast, too soon, dammit!!

Future:
They say life gets a whole lot more fun for women once you are over 30.
I always thot that was bullshit, but now Im not so sure.
My sons will be 17 and 15 when I turn 35. Hmmm, I dont feel so bad about the boys getting older so fast anymore.
I'll be starting a completely different phase of my life, a more independant one.
Terrifying yet exciting!

Insane pathetic women

2005-08-02T11:31:00.000-07:00

I dont usually listen to random conversations while in public, but this one was taking place right beside me at a bar, and it was too amusing to ignore.
It went something like this.

Girl#1 Oh wow, check out that guy over there!
Girl #2 Let me see, oh yeah I see him around alot, he's absolutely gorgeous.
Girl #1 Really, you've seen him before? And you havnt chatted him up?
Girl #2 Well, I have a hard time walking up to guys and flirting with them.
Girl#1 You really should with this guy, or I will!
Girl#2 Oh no, its ok I dont really feel like it.
Girl#1 Ok sweetie but I really do feel like it, you dont mind do you?
Girl#2 No, why would I mind? I hear he doesnt like forward girls tho.
Girl#1 We'll find out soon enough.

Girl#1 walks up to hottie, introduces herself, he gets her a drink, she flirts, they dance, after 20 mins walks back to Girl #2.

Girl#1 Wow he's soooo hott, we're gonna meet later, isnt that fuckin great?
Girl #2 Actually it isnt fuckin great at all, you knew I like him but you dont care do you?
Girl #1 Hey, chill out, you said it was ok.
Girl #2 Its not ok!
Girl #1 You shouldve said that before, just because you cant get any, doesnt mean you have to take it out on me!
Girl #2 What? The only reason you get any is because your boobs are always hanging out of you shirt, like a whore.
Girl#1 Well at least Im not a crazy bitch like you!
Girl#2 Ho!
Girl #1 Bitch!

Rock Star

2005-07-29T00:13:00.000-07:00

I have to say, even though Im not big on reality TV that I'm totally enjoying"Rock Star:INXS".

Maybe it's all the rock songs in various renditions and strong vocals, which is a nice change to all the bubblegum pop thats on most shows.

He's not bad to look at either :-)

Perfect? Me? Never!

2005-07-28T23:53:00.000-07:00

How come every time I make a special effort to do any particular thing perfectly,I always fail miserably?
Yet every time I do something perfectly, I might as well not have because there was no need for perfection in the first place.
I suppose I should be happy I do anything "perfect" at all....even if there's never anyone there to watch me do it.

-End of self-pity session-

Sick Slacker

2005-07-23T19:18:00.000-07:00

I've been such a slacker when it comes to posting on here.
But I have good reason...I've been sick! But who wants to hear about my sick days? Nobody? That's what I thought.
We shipped all our furniture from Greece and it arrived on Friday. So once I got over"pretending I was dead" I got out of bed and started ripping boxes apart and helping to put furniture together.
I quite fancied myself as being a domestic genius ... I think that no more.
I have some ideas...some good but mostly crap ideas on how to furnish and decorate this enormous house.
I'm at a stage where I mostly just stare at the bare surroundings in a stupified"Holy shit, what did I get myself into " kinda way. Oh to be able to afford an interior decorator.

Random thot #1:
I read today that Gus Van Sant made a movie about Kurt Cobain's life called "Last Days". This I've gotta see.

Random thot #2:
I must be the only person in the world that can't find a single coffee I like in Starbucks!

Of films and such

2005-07-14T00:21:00.000-07:00

Isn't Netflix wonderful? Im not necessarily a fan of all things cyber. For example, I don't like browsing for books online. There is nothing more exciting than going into a bookstore ( ok there are things more exciting, but not many), especially a second hand bookstore and searching to find a perfect read.
Videostores are entirely different.
The neon lights, the little colored signs on the boxes letting you know that "Hey, you know that movie you've been waiting a month to watch? Well its STILL not available!" All that to say I'm a big fan of Netflix.
I am a cinephile. So those who know me, know that I frequently open my big mouth about my opinions of various films. I hope nobody minds me occasionally sharing those opinions on my blog. And ofcourse if anyone disagrees with my "reviews' , I always love a good debate.
A few years ago I grew bored of the typical Hollywood repetitious industry and started a slow and gradual love affair with indie/foreign films ,which has now blossomed into a full blown passionate relationship( God, that was cheesy!)
I cant say I have given up blockbusters entirely because I like keeping myself informed about such things. I cant very well pretend I don't want to watch.... lets say...Brad and Angie sharing a screen.
One word review. Daaaaaaamn!

Oh and if anyone has any abstract recommendations let me know.
By abstract I don't mean such titles as "Dude, where's my dildo?", "Geranalmo" and "Tookie Raider". (Whoever recommended those ones, all I can say is "Where's your dignity? Shame, shame, shame on you.......they were absolute crap!!" :-)

Vacation Dreaming

2005-07-09T14:17:00.000-07:00

Zakynthos

Santorini by night

Im daydreaming about vacationing right now.
I miss the greek islands, each one so different, each fairly close to mainland, so easy to escape to at a moments notice.
There are alot of dreamy sounding places not too hard to get to from here tho. Carribean comes to mind. Any other suggestions?

Adventures of the unfortunate

2005-07-05T12:14:00.000-07:00

I usually love doing things first. Being the first in my group of friends to discover a new band, restaurant, club, alcoholic beverage etc, naturally so I can be the first to brag about the experience.
Something I have never done that alot of my friends have done, is meet someone that I only know from cyberland.
I have a friend thats staying with me for awhile. She is pretty, single and on various occasions chats with cute guys she's met online. She showed me some photos of one particular guy "J". Tall, short spikey black hair,cute smile,slim,sexy eyes, in one word...attractive. She laughs out loud alot while chatting with him, he must be charming.
Being as it was the 4th of July last night, we ofcourse wanted to go see the fireworks, so while trying to beautify myself (as if), I hear my friend talkin to someone on her cell. Its J. He wants to meet us there. She casually says "Well we're going to eat somethin real quick at McDonalds (the shame) so just call us a lil later and maybe we'll meet up."
At the above mentioned junk food restaurant, Im carrying my tray of food back to the table my friend is waiting at. Beside her I see a guy staring at her. She looks back and looks at me, her eyes as big as saucers. She introduces him to me and I pretend to casually shake his hand,while I feel a mini heart attack coming on which then turns into a very controlled effort to stop a fit of uncontrolable laughter.
I go back to my previous description of J.
Tall= Hunchback.
Short spikey black hair= Short slimey mousy hair...with dandruff.
Cute smile = Teeth that he apprently borrowed from someone in the middleages.
Slim= Pot belly
Sexy eyes= Small eyes and one of them is lazy.
Attractive= The man needed to go shopping...the list? Soap, shampoo, razors, aftershave, toothpaste, clean clothes, and possibly even a few liters of bleach.

"Aw maybe Im being too vain" I thought, " I shouldnt judge people with the way they look"(or smell), so I searched for hints of the charm I thought he must have. My search lasted for approx. 2 minutes. My conclusion? If my life depended on it , I'd rather sleep with Frankenstein.

What about his photos. How could he look so different? Thats when I formed my second conclusion. "Damn it, I hate, hate, HATE photoshop!"

Thankfully I had a fun time watching the fireworks, unfortunately my friend didnt enjoy them as much, the stalker kinda ruined it for her.

Train of thots

2005-07-02T22:53:00.000-07:00

Today I had my TV on for a big part of the day catching glimpses of the Live8 concerts while going about everything else I had to do.
A train of thots ran through my mind in rapid succession.
I thought of how annoying it is when celebrities "preach" to everyone about giving to charity when they are living in utter extravagance.
I thought about if the people attending the concerts or the people watching from home, like me, would even remember what the whole deal was about the next day. Maybe we would buy a band to wrap around our wrist and feel like we did our part and ultimately feel good about ourselves.
I thought of how I felt years ago when I left behind a big part of my life. Disilusioned. Because I had grown up thinking I was leading a life that helped people, that I was making the world a better place, but then realising that I had done very little if anything at all to help those in need. I imagined what I might have accomplised if I had worked for any humanitarian organization for those 20 years instead...what I might have been able to offer then.
I thought about how wonderful it would be if these politicians would actually make these decisions to drop the debts, to make trade fair, to send better aid. Could it be so simple?
I thought about everything Ive seen, heard and read about Africa and other third world countries, all the sickness, all the wars, all the injustices and how alot of times I shut what they're going through out, I shut it out because it makes me feel selfish for worrying about the things I do.
Ultimately, I dont know what I or others could do, I dont know if these concerts or marches can change anything, if the celebrities are phony, if politicians that act interested are just pretending, if its better to be a pessimist or an optimist.
But I feel I have to talk and educate myself about it, debate and rant about it.
Because some things are so insanely unfair we should all be furious about them.

This year I havn't been listening to much melancholic music.

I first heard Damien Rice 4 months ago.

I am now listening to melancholic music again.

Blogging! Not sure what I think of this epidemic called blogging, but I have decided I will form my opinion by adding myself to it. I am well prepared it might be one of those cliche moments of my life where I do something I live to regret but ...what the hell.

Frankly I dont know what Sting was going on about, he has nothing on me! I'm a Greek woman in SA, San Antonio of Texas that is. Yeehaw.
I won't get into the reasons of why, when and again in case you missed it, WHY I am here but lets just say the reasons are good enough.
Needless to say I am experiencing something everyone has experienced at some point in their lives...withdrawals.
Small cafe's where you can sip frappes for two hours withdrawals, windowshopping in small boutiques withdrawals, socially smoking without feeling like a criminal withdrawals, restaurants without the waiter telling you his life story withdrawals, almost getting run over by crazy drivers withdrawals, beachbar, taverna, feta, retzina, tiny car, fashionable people, and many more kinds of withdrawals.
I feel like going to an AA meeting and proclaiming "Hello, I am Christina and I'm a European snob!"
I refuse to make resolutions on how to shun this characteristic, because quite simply I do not wish to. Saying that, I don't want to sabotage my chances of having a great time here because of it. I do make it a point to embrace cultures....and people....no matter where it is, in this case even San Antonio.
