NYE

i was contemplating what great final piece to post before this year turns its back on us and we go wave 'hi' to new chances, but i couldn't think of much. actually, i thought of too much, as always. so then what i thought was that i'd just stop thinking. i'll have my coffee and go help organize the party for tonight - mulled wine, jello shots, fruit salad, cakes and muffins and playlists and all - and then, after midnight, it's total free fall. no new year's resolutions, no promises, and no more goddamn thinking. that wouldn't have to mean i'm giving up on everything i've been working for, i'll just let it come to me this time :)

i don't have any special picture to go with this post,
but i bet everyone has as much showers to take, hair to dry, jello to cook as i do,
so have your coffee in peace, and i'll see you all next year!

fa-la-la, etc.

christmas shopping can kill your feet,
getting all the presents home can break your back,
and gift-wrapping with organic rope and paper makes you bleed.
it's like sacrifice, it's almost religious.
but of course it's my favourite holiday :)

have a very merry one, everybody!

the lights and buzz

"I'm coming home from my hardest year

I'm making plans not to make plans while I'm here

And this life has been no holiday, a complicated situation

I'm fine with all my memories

Still I could use vacation.."

happy holiday's and remember that life is short - eat dessert first!;]

i'm gonna dance with somebody

i just about forgot that mando diao are playing at the principal club in thessaloniki on saturday, so i haven't made any definite plans, but i'll be catching the 5 o'clock bus, so if anyone is up for it, give me a call, or just be there ;)

out with the bad, in with the clean

not that i'm close to the planned renovations i've been looking forward to so much, but coming back from ikea with another load of new stuff, i decided i can't stash all the coffee tables and decorations away in my 'soon to be used' cupboard, so i decided to get rid of some old stuff.

and we all know how that goes - once you get started you get sucked in the 'oh hell, i don't need that anymore' whirlwind..

so today, once i'm done, i will be throwing out what now looks like tons of magazines and seasonal-decorations. i left a note for the neighbours, but i was thinking, if anyone wants to call dibs on old french/italian/american/british issues of Vogue, Elle, Elle Decorations, Marie Claire, Glamour, or missbehave, Intelligent Life, even Thrasher, Bike, Freeskier, Freeze, and a ton of Intro[bg] and Free[gr] mags, they can send me a pm. also if you're in need of halloween pumpkin lightchains, or candleholders, and old golden rudolfs and santas..
