Eléni & M Move to Athens - Part 17
This new series has its history in the form of several short stories, several poems, and a 13-part series that is linked at the bottom via Part 16 of this series. Anthi Psomiadou has graciously agreed—I keep repeating it—to appear again and again as a fictional character called, Anthi, really, as she did in the first series. Yet, this fictional Anthi is slowly becoming a second Athena, which may beg the question if the title of this series should have been, Eléni and M Move to Athens to Be With Anthi. The problem with Greece is that she is just too beautiful. Anon

Eléni & M Move to Athens - Part 16
This new series has its history in the form of several short stories, several poems, and a 13-part series that is linked at the bottom via Part 15 of this series. Anthi Psomiadou has graciously agreed—you already know that she did—to continue to appear as a fictional character also called, Anthi, as she did in the first series. However, this fictional Anthi Kanéna appears to be real somehow, perhaps taking after the real Anthi just by sheer coincidence, intensity, energy, and or some kind of faith. There are two kinds of people. Greeks, and everyone else who wish they were Greek. From My Big Fat Greek Wedding

Transparent Wood
It seems that there are still too many trees on Earth. We already have glass made mostly from silicon dioxide, also known as silica, but it easily breaks when too thin or not bulletproof, unlike a tree’s heart or the skin of its sheared meat. Let us cut down more trees in their infantile prime and turn them into transparent wood. How neat it would look while keeping the elements away in a new style. A transparent ceiling for stargazing, a transparent floor just in case we want to see the ground or what is happening in the basement, transparent walls green-painted for sport, and transparent windows as the pièce de résistance. We never had transparent windows before. How quaint! How revolutionary!

Eléni & M Move to Athens - Part 15
This new series has its history in the form of several short stories, several poems, and a 13-part series that is linked at the bottom via Part 14 of this series. Anthi Psomiadou has graciously agreed—oui je suis sûr (yes I am sure)—to continue to appear as a fictional character also called, Anthi (flowers, in Greek), as she did in the first series. Blue-and-white flowers in blue-and-white Greece. What a sight! What a scene! My heart could stand still. There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance. Socrates

Eléni & M Move to Athens - Part 14
This new series has its history in the form of several short stories, several poems, and a 13-part series that is linked at the bottom via Part 13 of this series. Anthi Psomiadou has graciously agreed—sans rien dire mais tout dire (without saying anything but saying everything)—to continue to appear as a fictional character also called, Anthi, as she did in the first series. It is no coincidence, methinks. It must be μοίρα (fate), or what science describes as a series of incessant actions and reactions that tend to culminate at specific points in spacetime and affect certain protagonists. The world is expanding Greece and Greece is the shrinking world. Victor Hugo

Eléni & M Move to Athens - Part 13
This new series has its history in the form of several short stories, several poems, and a 13-part series that is linked at the bottom via Part 12 of this series. Anthi Psomiadou has graciously agreed—with a good number of words—to reprise her role from the first series as a fictional character also called, Anthi. What a coincidence! Goddess Athena works in mysterious ways. The light of Greece opened my eyes, penetrated my pores, expanded my whole being. Henry Miller

Eléni & M Move to Athens - Part 12
This new series has its history in the form of several short stories, several poems, and a 13-part series that is linked at the bottom via Part 11 of this series. Anthi Psomiadou has graciously agreed—she is sweet—to reprise her role from the first series as a fictional character also called, Anthi. These series have become The Fellowship of Athena (the real Anthi proposed to call it a fellowship). I wonder if there will also be a ring or something even more precious. As you set out for Ithaca, hope your road is a long one, full of adventure, full of discovery. Konstantinos Kavafis

Eléni & M Move to Athens - Part 11
This new series has its history in the form of several short stories, several poems, and a 13-part series that is linked at the bottom via Part 10 of this series. Anthi Psomiadou has graciously agreed—you must believe it by now—to appear as the fictional character, Anthi Kanéna, in this new series, a character perhaps representing ideals which may not always correspond to those of the real Anthi, though only fleetingly, so it seems. Since we cannot change reality, let us change the eyes which see reality. Nikos Kazantzakis

Eléni & M Move to Athens - Part 10
This new series has its history in the form of several short stories, several poems, and a 13-part series that is linked at the bottom via Part 9 of this series. Anthi Psomiadou has graciously agreed—her comments are proof—to appear as a fictional character in this new series, where she represents the real Greek soul of the story apart from Goddess Athena, of course. Crete is the largest and most populous (around 635,000 people) of the Greek islands and the fifth largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, bounding the southern border of the Aegean Sea. Crete rests around 160 km (99 miles) south of the Greek mainland and has an area of 8,336 km² (3,219 miles²) and a coastline of 1,046 km (650 miles). Wikipedia

I Had a Dream About a New Social Network
Prickbook - The Prick Social Network Unlike Assbook where all members are Asses; in Prickbook, all members will be Pricks; real pricks. Your Prickbook picture or avatar will be of your prick. A woman will not be able to use a pic of her pussy since she is surely not a prick, and thus she will have to borrow it from another prick. Whose prick? you may ask. Any prick as long as the prick to whom it belongs allows her to. It will be one of the few Prickbook rules.
