Broken Shit On A Budget

I can’t believe it’s actually still beach weather. Proper beach weather too, not that British excuse for beach weather when it’s already dropped to being chilly enough for a jumper but you’re determined to eke it out for as long as possible anyway because it’s not raining yet and end up shivering by the shoreline, taking out the odd seagull with a nipple. We spent our first full day in Tolo…

literally not a single soul asked

but, i'm going to share anyway. here are my favorite reads this year in no particular order:

Fiction - Novels

Fyodor Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment" (Honestly, a masterpiece. I can't wait to devour his entire library. Read it. No notes.)

Leo Tolstoy's "Ana Karenina" (If you're looking for your next existential crisis, here ya go.)

Donna Tartt's "The Secret History" (I know I'm super late reading this and the whole world has already been in love with it for ages, now I finally know why.)

Bram Stoker's "Dracula" (In all fairness, this is on my list every year).

Mary Shelly's "Frankenstein" (This is also always on my list, idec. Shelly's monster may teach you a bit about being human.)

Stephen's Fry's "Mythos" (Honestly, just a super fun read. Really good starting point if you're a budding Hellenic or into ancient Greek mythology, in my opinion. As long as you take it as a starting off point for further research and understand that he has put it together to be entertaining.)

Emily Brontë's "Wuthering Heights" (You will never love a book so much where 97% of the characters and their actions are entirely insufferable. You might wonder why you began, but won't be able to stop and will be grateful that you didn't. Handsomely and meticulously written, as well.)

Elizabeth Kostova's "The Historian" (Historians, anthropologists, romance, and vampires. Chef's kiss.)

Madeline Miller's "Circe" (I JUST LOVE IT OKAY)

Anne Rice's "Interview with the Vampire" (I will never take criticism about this book. No notes, lmao.)

Fiction - Novellas

H.P. Lovecraft's "The Dunwitch Horror"

H.P. Lovecraft's "The Lost City"

H.P. Lovecraft's "The Festival"

Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's "Carmilla"

Aristophanes' "Lysistrata" (Every moment of this will have you saying what the actual fuck lmao)

Non-Fiction

Viktor Frankl's "A Man's Search For Meaning" (Just saying, this is written by a Holocaust survivor who is also a psychologist. There are graphic depictions of his sufferings. Major trigger warnings and all that - but, I still highly recommend as this is a really life changing book. His message and eloquence touched me in an indescribable way.)

Walter Burkett's "Greek Religion: Archaic and Classical" (Really, I recommend this as required reading to all Hellenics and those interested in ancient Greek religion.)

Dorsey Armstrong's audiobook, "Medieval Myths & Mysteries"

Lacy Collison-Morley's "Greek and Roman Ghost Stories"

Anne Baring and Jules Cashford's "Myth of the Goddess: An Evolution of an Image"

Estelle B. Freedman's "The Essential Feminist Reader"

Alexandra Kollontai's "The Autobiography of a Sexually Emancipated Communist Woman"

Bernadotte Perrin's Translation of Plutarch's "The Parallel Lives" (Juicy Roman drama).

Marcus Aurelius' "Meditations"

Robert Graves' Translation of Suetonius' "The 12 Caesars" (Juicy Roman tea, with a hint of bias though)

Miss Universe Greece 2022 National Costume

Goddess HERA was chosen as our national costume, since we want to convey to the whole world on stage the slogan for GREECE - TAKE OUR HISTORY BACK. So we chose the ultimate Goddess, the Goddess of Gods Hera, who symbolizes beauty - family and protection of its members. For us, Hera is the primary protector of the Institution, so the Time has come to show her with our message. Her elaborate spear is a reference point of dynamics and protection. The Peacock with the 1000 eyes in its tail aims to turn everyone's eyes on us and open its tail on stage and become a symbol of brightness, shedding light on TAKE OUR HISTORY BACK. As you can see in the costume, it is lit up.... this is a small snapshot that will take place, since we have asked for the lights to be turned off at some point..... THE REST ON STAGE AT MISS UNIVERSE 2022 - NEW ORLEANS, USA. As Miss Universe Greece,I am very proud to dress up as Goddess Hera on the stage of Miss Universe and I promise to make all Greeks in every corner of the earth proud

Post will be updated with final costume

The Very First Olympics

So there’s this rooster near where we stayed in Stemnitsa, which is actually fine because there’s always a fucking rooster it seems and we’re kind of used to it now. But every time the rooster crowed it triggered a dog which started howling. So our nice, rural alarm clock that we’d become accustomed to suddenly became a chorus of canine laments from 5am which isn’t the best way to wake up but…
