Greece

I've been making myself a little crazy this week by watching the riot and protest footage from Athens. Here's another, in case you're interested. The coverage is finally starting to get beyond the police shooting, which is good.

I remember a conversation with my cousins about problems that she was having with renters (who weren't paying for months). Antigone explained that they can't kick them out because the police and local government won't do back them up because as a family, they don't have clout. With the economic downturn and the shooting to spark it all off, the riots and protests are not a surprise. I just wish that something would actually be done besides the opposition party forcing the conservatives out.

Press reset

Looking through some pictures that my students took during our trip, I think that I have to finally acknowledge that something in my head is stuck in high school. I used to wonder what happened to "old" people style-wise and now I'm one of them. :)

Every time I'm in between haircuts, I default back to a straight-cut with bangs (I'm still not ready to expose the fivehead to the world). It's not really a big deal except that looking at myself in the pics, it just looks like I'm trying to be younger than I am even though it's just plain neglect and lack of creativity. It's a good thing I'm visiting the States or I'd probably have the stuck-in-high-school hair until summer.
