Or semi - friends only. :D Most of the entries concerning real life or personal thoughts will be locked, while I'll keep picspams and some fandom-related posts public. If you want to be added: comment in this post saying hello, and I'll probably friend you right back!

First meme of the year, and it's gonna be here for awhile! In this entry, I will keep track of the films I watch, the books I read, and the TV episodes I see in 2008. I think I can manage 25 books and 100 movies, but 500 TV episodes seems like a highly unlikely goal. But if you never try, you'll never know... </Coldplay> :D Snagged by lime_and_salt

 I will mark with an asterisk the films/books I highly recommend. Feel free to make any suggestions for films/novels/shows in the comments!

A few observations (or ramblings, it depends) on this week's Lost:

OMGGGGG I just watched The Office season finale! First of all... I loved the episode, and laughed out loud most of the time - there was so much awesome crammed into it. Second of all...

HOLY SHIT.


PPS: Presentation today went really well! *jumps in joy*

Hey all! It's another quick, random post by your LJ friend Angie. :D

+First off, I FINALLY got around to doing something I promised to do ages, AGES ago. I promised to moonys_missus  that I would upload some videos, from a concert of Michalis Hatziyannis in 2006. The VCD where I had stored them had disappeared and I couldn't find it anywhere (I have a few hundred CDs strewn around in drawers and lockers, and some of them are unlabeled, ugh!). But while I was looking for another DVD last week, it randomly popped up.

So here are some clips from that day, along with some youtube clips of him singing, from last week.


+And a question to my f-list. Has anyone watched Felicity? I found this show at a DVD club that has literally every show I could ever want to watch. I'm in the middle of watching a lot of shows right now, but this always sounded interesting and I'm a sucker for anything JJ Abrams does (I like to torture myself). But is it any good? Is it worth getting into? All opinions are very very welcome!

Remember a month ago, when George W. Bush posed with the Easter bunny? Well, now he's hosting a meeting with the president of Mexico and the PM of Canada, and he couldn't resist celebrating the occasion. So he's dancing it out!

So, this is it! In seven hours from now I'll be flying to Barcelona! I am ridiculously excited over this, seriously. The combination of my love for Spain, plane rides and trips abroad is making me ecstatic.

I only have 4 hours to sleep, because the travel agency people are being crazy and asked us to be there at 04.30 in the morning. For a 7 o'clock flight. I think they're exaggerating a bit. Packing was not boring at all, mainly because I decided I wasn't gonna carry around a huge, heavy suitcase, and took only the clothes and shoes I definitely needed. iPod, check. Sudoku puzzles, check. Barcelona guides, check. Camera, check (I promise to take nifty pictures and post them!). I think I'm ready to go!

Everyone have a lovely weekend, I'll talk to you guys soon! Cheers and hugs to all!

Google had some interesting announcements today.

First... We're going to Mars!!! I knew these guys were up to something. And then, the introduction of GMail Custom Time. AKA, the art of "manipulating and misleading people with falsified time data".

Hope everyone had a fun April Fool's Day! :D

PS: OMG, Google is on a roll today! A rickroll, to be exact. Go to YouTube's main page and click on any of the featured videos. AHAHAHAHA THIS IS AWESOME!

Because I'm in a movies mood, and lists/memes are always fun (at least when you're bored), here are the moives I've seen from the top 250 of imdb.com. Some of the conclusions drawn are: a) I need to watch more Hitchcock, b) A lot of the ones I haven't watched, I already have on DVD (God bless Greek newspapers and their Sunday offers!), and c) When IMDB users are voting, there's no telling what you'll see qualifying as "one of the best movies ever".

TOP 250 at IMDb.com - Bold the ones you've seen.

And since we're on the subject of movies, I feel compelled to share a couple of videos. A couple of days ago I discovered, through ohnotheydidnt, that there's plenty of "re-cut" movie trailers on YouTube. They edit scenes together and put the right music, in order to completely change their genre. First, a trailer of Mary Poppins as a horror movie. This is actually really scary.


And then there's "Must Love Jaws". Yes, it's Jaws, made to look like a romantic comedy/adventure, complete with voice-overs and cheesy ballads. I fell off my chair laughing at about 01.58. Be warned though, this is Jaws, so lots of blood and gore abound!

Because I was bored, I went out hunting for funny things. This made me laugh a lot! Then again, it may be the insomnia kicking in.

This was taken out of Bored.com's Real Breakup Stories From Real People. It's the dramatic reading of a break-up letter by what must be a 13-year old. Bad grammar, horrid syntax, and abundance of teen angst.

Youre such n ass wipe n bastert!!
