Monthly Archives : October 2017

Two hours at the water supply company, another couple of hours at the bank, one hour at the telecommunications store, all of these to pay bills. Hundreds of people everywhere, arguing, fighting. Two times in the same row then bank system goes down, everybody complains, no transaction then the chaos. Back to the office, site and office are being renewed, everything in its wrong place, a mess. For some reason, my intuition protected me all this crazy day. So, I kept laughing and muttering “whatever” no matter the mess.

#Everydayness

I was observing a bunch of grapes (I can be a creepy weirdo) and I did the parallelism. Each one of us is different, other happy and exuberant, other miserable and pessimistic, other rotten and completely elusive. But we all hang under the same bunch, staffed all together, disparately similar.
Everydayness is my graphic diary.

Father and mother, waiting in the rain for Codot (pronounced konto, means short in Greek) to parade. All went well, but I just lost the video. Fucking technology !@#$%^**

S H I T!

Today, Everydayness becomes 3 months old. Like 3 months old children it took a lot of effort, care, and attention but it also gave me a lot of joy. Life goes on (fortunately) and Everydayness grows. Us too. Everydayness is my graphic diary.

Cheers!

There are many days that a thought comes and sticks in the mind (of course there are also days when no thought comes). And this has nothing to do with what you experience or think or feel. I simply wore a blouse with swans this morning. My mind took me to the swan lake which I associated verbally (in Greek) with the expression “circle lake” and then I visualized the expression. And that`s it. Void thinking, void drawing. No reason.
“Everydayness” is my graphic diary.

Hello, I am Gina. I can see, hear, think and talk as much as I can. Today I got another pair of eyes. Something like “big brother”…

New product! Eyewear for 4 dimensions. You see the past, the present, the future, and afterlife. So you do not need anything else. You save time and money. Do you want to go for a coffee with your friends to talk about new, stunning facts in their lives? No need! Put on the 4D glasses and know them all. Futurologists, psychics, even the cinema are over. Put your glasses and you know from the trailer the end of the movie! With the new 4D glasses you’re far beyond!

When I was young together with my friends we had built our own hiding place. There are many occasions that I go back to it. It is small, peaceful and secure. There is enough light and is difficult to find. It offers some kind of carefreeness.

A. The point to which someone is pointing the missile, the shot to strike.
B. For someone or something to which an aggressive, hostile behavior is directed.
At any time and where you are not expecting it, you may become the target. So, be aware!

My daughter realized I was tired today, so she gave me this gift. Today’s “Everydayness”. It is Greece as she senses it.
Thank you, Athena!

Today I bought a newspaper with an inset on Egyptian mythology. I remembered how much I like Egyptian art and I said to do some drawings these days …

I am not much of a reader. I would even say that I am quite queer with books. But one thing I’ve noticed and loved is that wherever there are books (library, reading cafe, home or office library) it is quiet. And quietness comforts me. Plus the feeling that time does not exist.

One of the characteristics I’ve gained while getting older is filtering. That is good.

Every day I see more and more clearly what they say that humans have characteristic of some animals. Many times we realize we belong to more than one species. I have not cleared yet. For ourselves, it is harder to say. For some people around us, it’s easier to say.

I heard that expression from a relative of mine (Pamela) about 20 years ago. I don’t know if it is being used anymore, or if it is old-fashioned. But it amuses me because I visualize it every time I use it.

Just this. Excuse me, but it is Sunday. Shiny and calm.

Dedicated to all girls (older or younger) who are kind of dramatic.
I was too a drama queen in the long past. It worked, especially with my father. My mother would catch it due to her personal experience. And me, as an ex-drama queen, I can easily tell when my daughter uses drama tricks. I don’t need these stuff anymore. It is quite dramatic from times to times, so I’d better lighten it rather than let it drag me down.

It is those times that you have to decide yes or no knowing that neither will have devastating consequences. And it is your guts that say “yes” and the logic or the boredom that says “no”. Well, I always believed why not? And either I won or lost it does not matter. Because what’s finally left is that at least I did not say no, I always chose yes.

Today’s “Everydayness” is the combination of 2 thoughts. One is Chara’s Orfanidou thought (whom I don’t know personally, but I saw that post of hers on Instagram that went like that: “Smile! Tomorrow you may lose your front tooth”). The other was my own thought where I remembered that perfect, dark, folk song that says, “Eat and drink and have fun, those who pass on the other side never come back.” For some reason, the combination entertained me a lot!

These days my feet have grown wings. I don’t have timeeeeeeeeeeeeee….
