I will stick to much lighter subjects today. Well, after three years, I finally got a TV. I had always said it was pointless to have a TV here without cable, so yes, I got that too. What a surreal experience watching the Simpsons at 9pm for the past 2 nights. And I saw an ad for "Survivor: Marquesas", a show which I have heard so much about, but missed the entire thing being here. I can't say I have missed TV a great deal, but those couple of shows I do enjoy, plus a good nature channel and an occasional good movie is really nice. The only thing missing is a home improvement show. I love watching them build room additions and tiling floors and donig all sorts of other projects I may or may not ever try for myself.

I won't be logging for another 4 days. We are going up to Sanahin for a long weekend. I haven't spent much time in the country-side for a long time so I will enjoy this. It will also be interesting to see how Easter is celebrated at one of Armenia's most magnificent monasteries also. So here is a funny exchange Tamar Hajian shared with me. One of her neighbors many Easters ago was greeted with the traditional Kristos haryav i merelots, and forgetting the traditional reply (something I have been guilty of a number of times) ended up replying, "Daros' kezi". Hehehe, that one cracked me up.
