Work again, LWN again, and all other usual Thursday staff. After work, I went to meet my brother for a pint or two at Chesters.

Just Married
Somehow, day-time work is much more difficult after two night shifts in a row. I barely made it home and didn’t think of going anywhere, but Olga and Hazard were persistent enough for me go to the movie and see Just Married. Overall the film was OK, or even good. The part about childhood dreams of weddings was the best though, and was worth the whole movie. Also, the ashtray thrown in the head and the monologue after it were excellent! :)
P800 links
It’s Sunday and I have few moments to look for sites about my new SE P800. So, here we go:
- P800 forum @esato.com – lots of discussions every day.
- www.p800.co.uk – news, forums, links, etc. Lovely place.
- twilightwap.com – nice collection of polymorphic ringtones. I’ve enriched myself with Robert Miles’s “Children”, Pulp Fiction theme, South Park TV intro, and Imperial March of Star Wars. :) I’ll come back to this one when I am bored again. :)
sep800.mine.nu – kind of a personal collection of ringtones, sounds, pictures, software and a bunch of other staff. Very nice.
There are, of course, plenty of other resources…
Spending the day
That’s beach day again. I’ve spent some time in the morning annotating Hazard’s pictures, but didn’t manage to release them to the general public. :)
Beach place this Saturday was Kourium, near by the colliseum. Lots of ways, top-less babes, sandy wind, sun, and some beer. Nice time. No pictures though. I’m like fed up of shooting the same place for the 10th time. Anyway, you get the feeling. :)
After the beach, we went to Hazard’s place to have some very, by now, well known mussles. With Lev this time. In order to have proper time to enjoy those mussles we decided to have some Pizza Hut before. Anyway, the process of cooking mussles was very similar to the last time and interested ones can look it up in the photo gallery. ;) The result was excellent again, although not as good as the last time. Still, close to perfection. :)
Since beach and mussles are not enough to stop energizer bunnies like we are, we continued with nargile at Lev’s place. And watermelon. And more nargile. That seemed to be ending the day…
…but the way home was through a well known hot doggy place, so we couldn’t resist the tempation and got ourselves a nice and testy hot dog each with ketchup, mustard, and fresh onion. Paired with coke makes a good meal on the beach at 2 o’clock in the morning. Now, real trip home and hopefully end of the day. :)
By the way, I’ve managed to release the pictures from Hazard’s computer, while he was cooking. So, enjoy three new annotated albums (Sea, Akamas, and Mussles).
Limassol Beer Festival
Work…work…work. Last day of work for this week, though :)
After the work, I’ve picked up Lev, Hazard and headed home for Olga. Then, all together we went to Germania restaraunt for some real good food and real good beer. Places like this are empty these days, due to so called “Beer Festival”.
Now, let me tell you something about beer festival in Limassol, Cyprus. First of all, Cyprus has nothing to do with beer. It’s a wine place. To prove this, Limassol hosts wine festival every year for last 20 or 30 years. And it’s kind of cool – all wine makers present themselves in one place. By “all wine makers” I mean really ALL wine makers – from individuals to factories. And all of them gather in one place. You pay a pound or two for the ticket and you can enjoy all the wine you can. This is, though, very different from the beer festival. Originally, there was no beer festival in Limassol. Niether was any in Cyprus. But, there happened to be one successful bar, called “Chesters“, and you know it, if you’ve been on these pages at least once. I am a regular there. Anyway… The owner of that bar decided that it would be nice to start a good tradition for beer lovers. So, he started hosting “Chesters’ Beer Festival” every year right in front of his bar. Many beer importers were putting their tents around the place, live music was playing and hot dogs were cooking. Anyone who thought they were missing something, could pretend to be vising the bar and just going in for a good old whisky or something. So it was for three or four years aucasinosonline. Then, Limassol municipality decided that most of the city is missing it, and that it would be good to have some extra money instead of giving it some rich guy who already has a proper bar, so they started their own festival. I knew from the very beginning that it will suck, so I didn’t go. But Lev did. And his impressions were much worse then what I was expecting – no draught beer, no Carlsberg, no food, no proper sound. Rap music mixed with greek traditional music, announced by DJ for small, but expensive bottles of beer. Everyone ended up in the brewery, which is nex to the festival place.
So, since everyone was on a festival, we had a great time in empty German restaraunt. Then we went to Hazard’s place for some more beer and a movie. It took Hazard some time to reconfigure his Nvidia to spit things out to the TV, since his last upgrade, so we had a pleasent game of chess with Lev on my newly aquired Sony Ericsson P800. :)
After Hazard managed to bring the vision back, we watched “The Animatrix“, which was good, but boring enough to not stop me from falling asleep right in the middle of it. Give me a credit – I hate Japanese animation, so I was very strong to stay until the middle. Though it was exactly Japanese, but it was very close. :)
By the good old tradition, after falling asleep at Hazard’s place, I get home and continue sleeping there… :)
