Today they are airing the Armenian Music Awards here and so my singer friends and I are getting together at my apartment to watch it. It will be great to see what everyone is wearing and who wins what. Just Kidding.

I guess this is the equivalent of the Academy Awards in LA.

Today I went to my friend Mash' 18 Birthday. It was cute to see all these young kids dancing and slow dancing and Armenian dancing and laughing... the kids here know how to have fun. They are always in groups of guys and girls and they joke and laugh a lot. The guys mostly all dance except those who are shy and just sit in the corner and smoke.

Tomorrow I am commissioning an artist to paint Winnie the Pooh in my Kitchen... I met an artist who is struggling to keep his family going. I didn't like his abstract work too much but asked him if he could draw cartoons. Once he proved he could I put two and two together ... helping him out and getting a mural of the "Winnie the Pooh" picnic scene.

I love living in this country, every little thing you do you pour economy into your land... into your people..
