As a teenager, I was actually a fan of this song (which should disclose my age, I guess) and I desperately looked for Despina Vandi's album in all music stores. People always told me that the album was nowhere to be found, because it was released by Universal Records and that record company had gone bankrupt, so the deliveries were disrupted or something like that. I am not sure if it was true, at any rate, I haven't tried to verify it. I didn't have a computer and/or internet connection at the time, so people didn't understand my frustration when they told me that I should just download the song from the internet. Buying a CD (or even a friggin' cassette) was truly my only option. It is amazing how things are easier right now. I am perfectly aware that some people still cannot afford a computer or having an internet connection, which is hard to believe in the 21st century. But it happens. Anyway, I just wanted to share how the search for this song somehow became a personal odyssey for me in those years. Come to think of it, I don't think it was a great song according to my music taste today, but I guess I was so stubborn that not being able to find Despina Vandi's album made me even more obsessed with the idea of finding it... as I started to see it as a trophy of sorts. Fun times, despite all the difficulties.

I could use a good bit of chamomile, but also something that can wake me up more. Quite a bit of nimbus laying around above me today.

I'm gonna have to learn that dance. It's things like this that give me hope for humanity.

Oh, that is very good. Yeah, hard to watch that without smiling.

It would be a good dance to learn. Fun to break out at parties.

The traveler hears this as they sit upon the bench shivering.

Oh good!

Hops up to stand in line.

Chilly out this morning, huh?

At least it doesn't look like it'll snow. I find the cold rather invigorating.

I wish.

It hasn't gotten below 40 yet this winter and I enjoy the cold

Accepts the drink with a mildly perturbed state of being.

Thank you...somehow you managed to give me my regular, though usually it's cold.

Peers over the steaming glass at the odd character running the shop.

You know me too well.

Wanders back to the bench.

Harteath wrote:I wish.

Sits down to contemplate.

Mm...yeah. It's reaching below 30 lately, I think. I'm already tired if it. I don't like the hot weather either though, because...you know, heat. I guess the cold is nice for sleeping and hot drinks and ice cream. I'll try to stay positive about it...winter blues are kicking me over the head in the mean time.

One should know their friends well. It shows that they've been paying attention.

People of Agora, tomorrow is Arisis 6th, Renewal Day (Dio do Devenucione).

The city's public libraries will have extended opening hours at all branches and will be offering forgiveness of one half of all late fees accrued.

So bring in all those books you've been holding onto that belong to the community collection, pay off your fines and have your membership renewed.

I'm praying for a "Library Fine Amnesty" to happen in my city. I've got well over a hundred in fines at the moment...

I've also been considering creating a new identity just in order to get a fresh library card.

You'd have been better off just purchasing the material you'd been borrowing.

I'll borrow DVDs from my local library, if I feel the need to watch something I don't have to own (I'm too poor to go out to a theater, lol).

Morocco mole wrote:You'd have been better off just purchasing the material you'd been borrowing.

Indeed. I sort of...forgot, then months went by, then I found the books during a move, then more months went by before I finally returned them but without paying the fines. That was about three or four years ago.

I'm not paying the fines. So I'm just resigned to no longer taking anything out of the library again until another Amnesty happens to roll around. I do miss it, though.

Gates of Horn and Ivory wrote:I finally returned them but without paying the fines...

At least the books are back in circulation.

I have a friend who owns a used book store and they lend me a lot of books that they end up just letting me keep in exchange for artworks for a board game they are creating.

Always good to have connections at your local used book store.

Aw, that's sweet.

Oh, dude. That sucks. I actually probably owe a bit to libraries across the states. I have no idea how much though, I just move and realize I have a book packed away that's now mine.

That's pretty awesome. I love old books. I love new books too. I love books.
