May - June in Southern Cali......
Graduations, parties, weddings, christenings... the list is endless. All this, not to mention the frequent events taking place at Golden Palace, Ararat Home, the new HMEM Ararat Ballroom and/or Alex Theatre in Glendale. It's kind of funny how I drove by there today and I saw that all of the concerts listed were Armenian ones. Seems like we took over one more venue.... :) I spent the weekend down in Palos Verdes... the "South Bay" area. One might think that there aren't any Armenians there, but the truth is (and we all know this is a fact) there are Armenians EVERYWHERE! It was definitely weird being entirely surrounded by odars, but I have to admit it was somewhat of a "break".
There's actually a lot going on right now! Today I went to Sardarabad Bookstore and did A LOT of shopping! I hadn't been there in a while so I stocked up on some books that I could read while I'm in bed the next few weeks recooping. I got Viken Berberian's "The Cyclist" and Boghos Kupelian's "Passport". I got Vahe Berberian's video and my family and I died laughing, because it's all "soooooooo" Armenian! I also got some maps of Yerevan, I guess maybe to make up for the fact that I won't be there this summer. I got Robert Kurkjian's and Mathew Karanian's new guide for travelers to Armenia (not for the guide...but it has INCREDIBLE pictures). I was so excited I even threw in a couple CD's! Well, I thought since I'm here why not buy everyone's gifts from Sardarabad too! So I bought all my friends their graduation gifts ... little something-s from Hayasdan.
That's pretty much it for right now... It's funny how when you have nothing to do, it always turns out that you have a MILLION things to do! I thought I could put away my little black calendar book, because now that there's no school I won't have to keep track of all the things that are due on this day or that day.. BOYYYYYYYYYY was I wrong?! Welcome back blackbook! :) ohh ya.. and Welcome Arsineh!!! :)
