i got sick yesterday. it must have been something i ate, but all the locals are convinced that mrsel em (i literally got cold, and thus am now sick).
i was scheduled to finally hang out with lena... and i was 2 hours late into our appointment but she was sweet and understood. so we got home and i called lena. i was still feeling a little sick but decided company would do me good. after a brief convincing session that i am ok and capable of serving tea in my "state" lena said she would drop by and bring a friend.
now i was laying on the couch, moaning and whimpering, waiting for lena to come over. arthur kept asking me to drink tea, jermuk, water, juice, tea, jermuk, water, juice and i was just NOT cooperating. then he left the room and i figured he became frustrated and gave up. a minute later he called me... i said, i can't come... he said hurry it's important. i went into his studio and he had found my favorite song karaoke, (overjoyed by stevie wonder) and so he passed me the words and said he wanted to record me.... music healing, i love it. pretty soon, in my terrible voice, i was building castles in the sky and loving life. by the time lena and carlos came over i was dancing the kochari. that was an amazing way to get my mind off stuff, i just feel bad that arthur had to sit through that horrible singing session.
seeing lena was fabulous. lena is special... not a lot of people in this world like her. after meeting her and becoming her friend you feel like you have known her forever. she is so comfortable and so smooth. no materialism, no pretences, nothing... just a good human being in front of you who is sweet, funny, understanding and smart. although i hardly get to see her, we always pick up where we left off. it is always fun with lena.
with lena came a new friend. welcome to yerevan, carlos. what an interesting guy. his father is an armenian who was born in mexico, his mom is mexican. he was born and bred in mexico in a small armenian community of barely 500. he is gettinghis phd in anthropology and is studying armenian communities in latin america... he is here in armenia now for five months to study armenian. he floored us, he knew so much about armenian culture (he said his access zone was ordering books on amazon.com). he seems excited to be here and is excited to start armenian classes.
i am feeling better now, although the night was not carefree. today my body hurts, my head hurts and i am weak but at least i am not sick anymore.
it is cold again. someone told lena that this is going to be a cold winter! anyone study weather around here? what does it mean when the summer is mild and cool... does that mean we are going to freeze our butts off over here?
