After more than five months of waiting in limbo, my brother finally got his work permit to work in the USA. He left yesterday for Washington. He’ll be working for the ANCA. I think this job will fit him like a glove. If any of you know Apo, you’ll know what I mean.
Anyhow, on Saturday we had a farewell party for him at a friend’s house. Her name is Peruz and she had spent a great part of the summer in Armenia and Lebanon. As she was showing me pictures I saw many of my friends and some of the loggers. I saw Madlene with her brown, curley hair (I’ve always known her as a blond). Raffi K and Zabel looked great too. Apparently you guys had a blast this summer. Pictures don’t lie.
In Montreal the weather is crazy. It was 12 C today and will be 28 tomorrow.
In the Armenian scene much is happening here. The Hamazkayin literary committee has put a great and inovative program for this fall. For instance, on October 4, a young Journalist (S. Piliguian) will be presenting A System of a Down through videos & CDs and on Oct. 18-19 there will be a photo-exhibition - presentation of the photo-album & art-agenda of Hrair Hawk Khatcherian. My favorite is the Video presentation of an ethnographic study by a young 21 year old member of her study of Kessab & its youth & also the wedding ceremony (rituals). I also heard that very within the next weeks the Echmiadzin Prelacy is hosting a 2 day seminar at McGill University in conjuction with its Religion Department. The topic of course is the Armenian Church.
As for me, I got my first real bruise from squash today… now I know why they call this game squash ! I have a big blue in the middle of my face right on my nose. I received a raquette in my face… but I won the match… all five games ! Do they have squash in Armenia ?
I don’t know if I mentionned this, but I am working on the LCO summer campaigns for next year. I would like to bring in some new and fun ideas. Any suggestions ?
