SAY WHAT?!

Today was a little awkward. I'd grown used to being with Lianne, and other people beforehand for over a month and it doesn't bother me that I'm by myself, but I felt a little off without her here today...
I mean, I had a nice routine going on... We'd spend the day doing God knows what and then we'd get back home, have supper somewhere and talk to our peoples afterwards...
I still talk my people every night... I even made a phone call to Canada this afternoon.  Thank God for computers (and phones).

I went to Athens today and visited two museums. The first was the Numismatic Museum which houses countless ancient (and modern) coins in the very house of Heinrich Schliemann (Google him!) --- Pretty cool!

I went to the Cycladic Art Museum down a few blocks afterwards and was so impressed with the Cypriot Art wing --- So colourful!

I walked in the Plaka for a little bit after for a little over an hour -- bought a kitschy, but light souvenir.

I was a little skeptical when I got to Syntagma Square in the first place this morning, because of the riots that went on a couple weeks back.  But, the police presence is so strong that I was fine. It's unfortunate because around the square, everything is up-scale and nice looking. It's just that stupid sqaure that is a PITA... It's right in front of the Parliament, which is right in front of the Presidential House... Need I say more?
Anyway, I'm taking it easy tonight --- hope to talk to a couple people... that's all folks.

HOLY SKATA!

You know the song 'Billionnaire' by Bruno Mars? Well, it just came on... I'm rocking to it and next thing you know: 'I want to be a billionaire, so f-ing bad..'

SAY WHAT?!

Christo Hesus! I forgot I was in Europe -- where they are more concerned with violent/gory movies than nudity and swearing... OK THEN!

LIGHTS OUT MY HOMESLICES!
