“Κουβάλησε δυο δυο, τέσσερα τέσσερα, έξι έξι, τα βιβλία του πατέρα και του παππού του με τελετουργικό τρόπο στην αυλή του σπιτιού. Έφτιαξε σορούς εδώ και εκεί, τα περιέχυσε με πετρέλαιο με μεγάλη προσοχή και τα έβαλε φωτιά.

“Let me tell you about my favorite day of the month, properly dubbed my A.D.I.B. (stands for All Day In Bed). On that designated day, I will buy candy, chocolates and order any fast food meal of my choosing. I will then spend the rest of my A.D.I.B. in my pajamas on the couch, watching a movie marathon. I’ll watch the corniest chick flicks, the most romantic of dramas, and the cheesiest comedies. I will also pour myself a relaxing hot bubble bath with aromatherapy beads while reading a magazine. That entire day, I am off the grid and completely unplugged!”
