Another year, another Glastonbury!!! And as always, it didn’t disappoint. This year it was a different experience for me but it was still a lot of fun! :-) It was the first Glastonbury since 2004 that I didn’t experience on my own. Mary was with me, which meant that camping …
I love going to the theatre and I try to go often. Earlier tonight I saw a play that I particularly enjoyed. I went to see “Breaking the code”, a play by Hugh Whitemore about Alan Turing. I loved the script and the local production in one of Seattle’s many …
/**/ Remember the “No pants light rail ride”? This time we did a “Choo Choo train” in downtown Seattle :-) Like before, it was organized by the “Emerald City Improv”. That was last Sunday and it was soooo much fun. There were so many surprised and/or laughing faces of people …

I just watched “The Rage in Placid Lake” (an Australian indie film), which was cute. I liked these lines delivered by the main character towards the end of the movie. “There are moments when you know what you need to do. If you stopped and analyzed it, it’d be crazy. …
I spent my afternoon at the Pacific Science Center today. I went there for the “Animation” exhibit, which I enjoyed very much. However, I was mostly taken and pleasantly surprised by Chris Jordan’s photography exhibition. Chris is a Seattle artist (photography) who, after a long career as a lawyer, gave …
/**/ Amongst the videos I was sent today, these two really stand out, for different reasons. The first one is beautiful and moving. Kseniya Simonova, a sand artist from Ukraine, participated in a talent show on TV and won. Apparently she joined the competition because she wanted to help a …
/**/ My best friend Kostas Amoiridis is a photographer (mostly fashion) back in Greece. The photo at the corner of this blog was taken by him, for an interview of mine in a Greek magazine (plus some others for other similar occasions… the ones where I pose :-) Kostas is …
