Why is it weird to read this and become a bit sad? Everyone has their right to believing in whatever they wish as long as they don't restrict the freedom of others and this is definitely one of these cases. But why do I get this feeling of sadness then since I understand the irrationality of its presence? Have I been too much "raised" in typical greek fashion that I cannot fight something

Rest in piece Richard...You were always the atmosphere in Pink Floyd's music."He was gentle, unassuming and private but his soulful voice and playing were vital, magical components of our most recognised Pink Floyd sound." - David Gilmour

... feels like it has lost its meaning. When I started writing it, I thought it would be a great way of keeping people in touch with the things that happen to me in Japan. 3 years later on, I went back in the U.K. and now in Greece; I'm not really sure how this blog will turn out... Maybe this is the last post, maybe not. Who knows... Thanks for the reading anyway, all three of you :)

I know what most of you think about R.E.M. "They where great back then..." riiiiiight.I must admit that I wasn't a big fan of "Around the Sun", BUT they always had little gems in their not-so-great albums. So I don't want to hear more about it. They are masters of their kind.

A little historical background here people. Guy Fawkes was someone who tried to demolish the English parliament at 1606 by usage of explosives (Gunpowder plot). The English found him in time and his plot failed. After arrest, he was sentenced to the ultimate punishment for treason - Hanging, Drawing and Quartering - a punishment that one can remember from the movie Braveheart.So, on the 5th of

Apparently, New Democracy will be again government and our own right-wing party LAOS will have more than 3.5%... The second party, PASOK, will probably be again opposition. I am not surprised really as their leader, even though had some European vision of modernisation, in the end disappointingly turned to the battered-to-death-but-never-old "vote for us so that the RIGHT are not government"

I bought Zeitgeist by the (new) Smashing Pumpkins at the same time with War Stories by Unkle but I was a bit skeptical about blogging about it immediately.It was mainly the fact that two out of the four original members, James and D' Arcy were not part of the reunion, a fact that alienated many more fans. The truth though is that D'Arcy hasn't been in the public eye since the Pumpkins' reunion

41 people lost their lives in the worst ever summer fires with a very strong indication that many are intentionally createdvideoThe eternal question remains, who does this and for what? And why the fuck isn't this burned land a forbidden construction zone for 2000 years?But it's cool... We don't need more fire-fighting airplanes, even though every summer we get fires; instead, let's get more

Eat as much as you can in your house, with beautiful food cooked by your portuguese flatmate's visiting girlfriend (THANK YOU AGAIN). Have someone there eating like 3 people (you know who you are). Leave your flat. On the way to the second step, almost have a fight on the upper deck of the bus (you

So... what started as an effort by Prince Albert to create a centre of excellence that would rival MIT made it to its first 100 years. Founded in 1907 by merging many institutes in the (very very expensive) area of South Kensington, it has been standing well. Thus far it has accumulated 20 Nobel prizes, the Times cited this year as the 9th best school overall and 4th in engineering world-wide,

Oh, and I've translated most of the greek version of Songbird. I think it's a great effort being open-source and all and it is really a clever idea, to "play the web".

Is having too many options a good thing? I have recently tried to figure out what I want to do with my life after the PhD. First comes the big question: Go back to Greece or stay to the UK or even go to Japan?It is difficult, really. Of course, I'm not the one facing the same problem. Almost everyone I know is kind of thinking in a similar manner. Then, the second option pops up. Stay in academia

There are times when something comes, a film, a record, a book that just changes one's landscape. Haruki Murakami's Norwegian Wood is such a book.It might be a love story, but an amazingly written one and so moving that I cannot really describe this bittersweet feeling right now. I can't remember the last time I finished a book at 5am in the morning. I don't read nearly as many books I would have

Στο δρόμο του γυρισμού, ανάμεσα στους μεθυσμένους του βρώμικου λεωφορείου, άκουγα την ανυπέρβλητη μελοποίηση του Σωκράτη Μάλαμα του ποιήματος του Κωνσταντίνου Καβάφη, Δεκέμβρης 1903:"Κι αν για τον έρωτα μου δε μπορώ να πωαν δε μιλώ για τα μαλλιά σου, για τα χείλη, για τα μάτιαόμως το πρόσωπό σου που κρατάω μες την ψυχή μουο ήχος της φωνής σου που κρατάω μες στο μυαλό μουημέρες του Σεπτέμβρη που

Many people have asked me why I sold my Mp3 player. And it is difficult to explain why, since it was definitely a great piece of engineering. It was small, light with a high capacity and really good looking. So, since it had all of the above, why did I change it?Because I was sick and tired of large corporations dictating me on how I use and listen to my music. The plague called DRM is a menace

It was a tough decision, but I've decided it.It's out there!

Some things in life are just like a commercial.Tickets to see the Strokes in Hyde Park ---> £40Sony camera to take images of you and your friends ---> £300Random white-trash drunk/stoned caricature pees on your feet and almost getting into a fight with the party of his 5 wanker friends ---> A lot of nerves, an almost brawl, change of positioning in the crowd and 2 washes of the peed

Times are wild and I had to have a haircut. I wanted to try something new. Something radical. Something so radical that even my flatmates could do it. And here it is...Maybe it's too radical....The feedback is good though.Maybe I'll keep it...

I just got back from watching Miami Vice. What a dissapointment... the story was very weak and the style did not reach the peaks of Heat or The Insider. It's too bad because I dragged 6 more people with me, since the trailer was fantastic. I cannot believe such a weak film is a Michael Mann film... And all because of the fantastic trailerI'll be more careful next time.Gong Li looked fantastic by

I had the luck to listen to this song. It is, I think, the last video Johnny Cash did before he died... I could write a lot about it but I will leave it to you to decide if you like it or not. I always get goosebumps when watching it...

So, I'm back to London. I have left all the great people in that great country to return to the UK. I am not sure if this blog will continue to exist. To be honest, I don't see a point to it. Still, I will think of its fate. It will probably transform into something else, that I don't know of.I don't think any interesting things will happen from now on. Not at least at the same degree to the

Today I'm sick, so I found some time to update the blog with this post about Hanami. A FACT KNOWN TO ALL OF HUMANITY: Japan looks its best when sakura (cherry-blossoms) is about.As with all of the countries in the world, in terms of natural beauty spring is the most beautiful season of the year. But in Japan, sakura blossoms and makes nature at this time unbelievably beautiful! Ofcourse, japanese
