28 November 2006

Did you miss me? OMGWTFGREECE?!1!! My phone (along with those of a lot of other people) has been out since last Thursday, and thus, no internet. I have no idea why. [More:]

In fact, as far as I know, they are still out... but I am in Athens now (for this week), staying with a friend, so I'm online with her connection. I'll probably be sharing some Athens photos during the week. Also I finally got a cell phone... I hardly ever need one, but being without regular phone service for five days will do that to you.

Here's a photo of some nice trees I took yesterday at the Acropolis.

"Did you miss me?"

Not at all.

My Agents are everywhere.

We have cameras.

Hi, guys! I missed bunnies so much! I had to do non-digital stuff! It was horrible!

We don't know what happened to our Dingle stash, taz. For honest!


oh my head hurts...

Turn my back for two minutes, and yer having a flingle with the Dingle! I oughtta bend you over my knee.

(Actually, I was thinking about doing that anyway.)

Welcome back Taz! Fabulous pics. Color me green.

Good grief, what gorgeous pics. I'm glad your camera was functioning, anyway! :) Welcome back!

That "kissing" shot just blows me away. It's photoshopped, right? I mean, there's the Acropolis and yet behind it there's a modern southern European city. But in the foreground there's a tree I always think of as belonging in Athens (is it a cyprus or something else?) and kissing (which is ancient too).

I really have to go to Athens next time I'm "home". Well, Greece I suppose. I want to see all of it.

Lovely, lovely photos ... BUT DID YOU GET THE COAT??????
posted by WolfDaddy 28 November | 09:49
did you miss me?
Yes
posted by getoffmylawn 28 November | 09:52
I would like to know about the coat too.
posted by GeckoDundee 28 November | 09:57
I was actually wondering where the hell you are. Now I know. You were in hell. Athens looks too pretty to me, too. I guess it's your photographic skillz.

GeckoD, yes these are cypresses. Very beautiful trees. But I would think of olive trees and mulberry trees first before cypresses.

What I want to know is, what are you doing there? Are you having fun? Where are you going? What do you see? I am actually dying to know. Also, about the coat.

You should be thankful they connected your phone back within a month and they might consider waving this month's service fee. You spoiled American!

One more thing I want to know: do you like Athens better than Thessaloniki?
posted by carmina 28 November | 10:55
Wow, what beautiful pictures, taz. Yay for getting back on the internets as well!
posted by gaspode 28 November | 10:57
No phone service for a week? Where do you live, Greece or something?!

Glad you're back. I think we all just figured it was, like, Greek Thanksgiving.
posted by stilicho 28 November | 11:38
Heh. For Greek Thanksgiving, they take your internets away.

So, the COAT. Well, bunnies, I didn't get it. I gathered my resolve, my courage and my cash, and marched right down there to get it, but when I tried it on... it was fabulous, and, oh, babies, like buttah, but... it had... omfg, big honking SHOULDER PADS. Quarterback SHOULDER PADS. Jesus wept. He wept about the SHOULDER PADS.

So, I'll keep my eyes open, and if it's still there after xmas, and marked down, I'll get it and pay a seamstress to remove or replace those monstrosities, but I couldn't justify to myself paying more than I should for a coat, then paying to have it altered on top of that. *sigh*

About Athens, I'll have more to say later - I still haven't explored enough. My friend here got sick today, so I've been staying with her serving liquids and invalid food. Mr. taz is working, of course, but he will have Thursday off, so definitely more playing then.

I thought your contributions were on the light side recently, taz. Glad you're back and posting gorgeous photos!
posted by deborah 28 November | 13:35
Oh My God I need to get out in the world more. Preferably to somewhere with green trees and water. I miss water.

Welcome back, mistress taz. I didn't miss you because I've been too busy working to come here for the past week or so (yeah, sucks to be me).
