02:16 pm: Our Universities are battlefields!

I don't usually update here and I don't usually write about that stuff but yesterday's events propelled me to do so.  For those of you who do not live in Greece I have to explain though.
Yesterday, there were Dean elections at the Universities. Some students belonging to the left parties and the students who belonged to the ruling party started fighting. However, at our University (in Pireus) things got out of control. The ruling party had some henchmen with wooden planks and the leftists were fighting with molottov bombs. As a result everything inside the University was trashed and some cars burned down and people were rushed to the hospital! I was lucky enough not to go there yesterday (thank God for my japanese classes). Even the Uni's site was hacked and doesn't work right now!
Today, there are probably no classes. How can the professors teach in a thrashed class? Tomorrow I have to present a project but I wonder if the Uni is going to open? They destroyed it! I'm also worried about the exams that start next week. They may be pushed back... 
I swear that the situation at the Greek universities couldn't get worse! Since the government is pushing that law about the private Universities, we have been in a state of chaos. I envy the foreign Universities that don't allow political parties to run them. I hate politics! Politics in Greece at least!

Oh yeah: Some photos the leftists took. You can see the ruling party's henchmen. They are really scary!

09:19 pm: My j-drama list
Just for the fun of it, I'm posting the list of completed j-drama series and specials that I have. The star next to some titles means that either I haven't watched the series yet or I'm in the midst of watching it.

01:16 am: SNOW! SNOW! SNOW!
As KinKi Kids would say... It's snowing! Ever since Saturday evening! And since Sunday noon it started falling harder! Now everything outside is white!!! Pardon my excitement but I live in the Athenian western suburbs and here it rarely snows. Last snowfall was 2 or 3 years ago! This year's is the strongest one so far... Ah! How I wish my dad was around to see it! He loved snow so much! 
It's 1am right now and I went outside for a while. Everuthing was silent! I never understood this sound of silence thing but I think I experienced it for the first time today. No sounds from cars or tvs or the wind. Nothing. Just silence... It's scary and exciting at the same time!

10:54 am: HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Happy new year everyone! Best wishes for this year to be a good one! For me, 2007 ended in tragedy but I'm picking up the pieces slowly (I still cry at night before I go to sleep cause dad's face pops up in my mind...). I'll be fine!

So let's see the plan for 2008 (for my Internet life):
- I'll continue with the uploads. More Jpop PV's coming your way! I'll try to upload at least 6 per day...
- Start fansubbing. I'm planning on entering a jdrama fansub group as the translator. And maybe do a solo translating project for older dramas and specials. I have set my eyes on doing the whole 2007 Spring special of Yonimo Kimyona Monogatari (the one with Sho) cause I really liked that.
-  Maybe... just maybe... finally get an LJ paid account and make my journal more decent! Hahaha!
-  Buy yet more stuff from the net. I wanna get some mangas too. 
- Start playing WoW. It is my favorite MMORPG and dad's last gift to us. He didn't manage to give it to us personally. I'll put the account to good use!
- Continue dad's legacy in Lineage 2. He was his clan's representative and his spirit lives on through his favorite character: AndroklisGR. But how the hell I am going to adapt to a lvl 55 character when I'm a noob I still don't know! :P

That's it for now! Have a nice day everyone!!!

07:31 pm: The worst is over, time to move on
Seeing the post below I can't believe the irony of it... I wrote: 'If something worse happens I'll  update the post". Well, it happened. That same night... You probably won't believe what I'm saying but... but... my father died... It's no joke. It was sudden. He was so healthy a few hours before! But he fainted after he drove me to the subway. When we took hm to te hospital, he gave in... In less than 30 minutes. He was such an innocent man... a child at heart. I wanted to say so many things but words won't come out. I'm finally free to speak about this. My father left me so many things, so many memories. The last memento I got of him is a cd from his friends at his Lineage II clan. He was singing "Born to be Wild", just 2 nights before his death. He sounds like a rock star! I'm so proud of him. I'll carry him inside me forever... At least he died happy. And not once he believed that he was gonna die. He left with no regrets. Rest in Peace Daddy! I love you! And I'm moving on. For me, mom and sis... I'll be strong! I promise you!

11:16 am: Me is unlucky!
Hahaha! I cant' believe my (un)luck today! It's probably not my day.
Aside from being late for work here are some things that happened to me today so far. ?I'll update this post if something more happens to me by the time I go to sleep.

1. Got stuck it the elevator. Alone.
Yep. The place I work in on the 6th floor of the hospital. Today I though that I was lucky that there was an elevator right in front of me. And empty as well. But I was wrong. When I reached the 6th floor I couldn't open the door! The elevator wouldn't move either! I was stuck. Thank God I didn't panic! I pressed the emergency button but noone came. Eventually the elevator fixed itself and I was able to get out. Hahaha!

2.Lost my huge post on my greek blog
For some reason when I posted it , it didn't come out so I had to do it all over again.

3.Pressure
I'm getting pressed to finish a powerpoint presentation. So I need to go! Stress is killing me!

09:46 pm: また病気？
私はまた病気です！だから明日の日本語のレスンを中止します。まあ、実は明日ストライクです。レスンのところへ行けない。。。：P　
今たぶん熱があります。でも頭がまだ痛くない。私は頭痛が大嫌い！どうか神様今晩眠らせてください！

Somehow, today I'm in the mood of writing in Japanese (despite being sick). I'm really enjoying this! I'm probably going to be writing more in japanese it the future.

01:22 pm: Party Report
I'm at work right now and I'm extremely bored. So I thought, what the hell, I'll update!
This Saturday was my sister's birthday and we threw a party at our house. Our parents are way for over a week now so it was something we did on our own. This is what happened...

01:35 pm: Sick...

I seem to have disappeared from the face of the Earth... well, the Internet... 2 reasons for that:

1. It's been a week since my connection has died. The reason: The Internet provider is experiencing some problems with our area so until the end of the year I'm not going to have any access to the Internet from my computer. For the time being I'm borrowing my dad's PC to post.

2. I'm sick. Really sick. With fever, a running nose and a terrible cough that is remindant of an old man. It's been 2 days now... I'm not sleeping cause of this and I feel very tired. When you're sick you appreciate health even more. So my advice to all of you: Stay healthy! Don't allow yourselves to experience what I'm experiencing right now. Sure I got sick before. Last winter I had a fever that wouldn't go down for 2 weeks. But when you're healthy you seem to forget it. Ain't that right?

Ooh! My head hurts! Gotta go and lay down at my bed. Bye!

09:44 pm: Το ελληνικό μας μπλογκ!

11:20 pm: A dream with KAT-TUN Part 2
OK! Here is the 2nd part! (oh and btw Ueda was not in this dream as you may have noticed! I don't know why! And I did not ask the guys about it! Maybe he had other bussiness)


So there you have it! Actually I hadn't seen any JE related dreams for almost a year! But 3 days ago I dreamt of KAT-TUN doing a spaceship skit on TV. And it inspired me to write a fiction about it! So maybe I will!

09:42 pm: A dream with KAT-TUN Part 1
Around last year I saw a dream with KAT-TUN. It was a scary dream and it was quite big and I wrote it down so that I wouldn't forget it! Brace yourselves guys! This is BIG!

  
That's it for now guys! I'll post the rest later!　あはははははは！夢は不思議だねえ！

04:02 pm: Turkish Star Wars



Just cause I'm in the mood... Yesterday night we stumbled across this video with my friend Fay, and we almost died from extreme laughter. It's a Turkish version of Star Wars! No kidding! The shot this around the same time Star Wars came out and they even stole some scenes from the original movies! The result is hilarious! Turkish kung-fu and a Darth Vader that looks like the sultan! It's so bad it's actually good! And I thought Bollywood was funny! 70's cult Turkish movies are as well (and maybe funnier).

02:37 pm: Crack Post: When J-dramas meet Greece
I knew I had to make this post someday but I kept forgetting it until I came across the last photo... Anyway, you guys will be surprised at how many Greek random elements can be found in J-dramas. Especially dramas that star guys from JE! I have watched over 100 dramas and heres some of the things I found extremely funny when watching mostly cause they are Greek!

10:32 pm: Update finally!
Well, it's an update! How come you'll ask! Well, I became really busy lately and I am to become more busy soon cause I have a job! It's full time for 2 months and it's practical exersice. I'll be working at the Informatics department of a big, private hospital. Kinda like the ones you see in Jdramas. It's gonna be tough but I'll try not to fall behind on my fandoms. Jdramas, jpop and such... Oh! Yeah! Me and my friends are starting a greek blog soon! It's gonna be crazy with lots of stuff from movies to sports commenting. I'll be in charge of Asian pop culture and I'll try to make it widely know to Greeks who still think that Japan produces only anime! Hehe!
Oh and let me ask a question. Would you like me to upload JE mp3s and videos (other than PVs) here? I would like to be more active u know! ^^ How about other Jpop??

06:50 pm: Tekkon Kinkreet report
 Ok. Yesterday I went to watch Tekkon Kinkreet, the movie where Nino made his voice acting debut. I was mesmerized when I learned that they were screening it as part of the Premiere Nights festival in Athens. So here is my opinion on the movie and Nino's voiceacting as Kuro. Just click on the cut.
