i am going to be on the next tata cd. you read me right!!! the next tata cd. i got the call a few days ago, "madlene we need your english and your voice for our upcoming cd"... i recorded on friday night, a short bit of talking for his upcoming song and it was fun. tata is a really modest nice guy and it was great working with him. arthur came for moral support and tata and arthur caught up on old times and talked and laughed. i told him that i really like his music and took his cd's with me from la to nyc and from nyc to yerevan. he laughed and told me it's ok, he loves to travel.
i also got a call from the head of the sociology department at yerevan state university and it looks like i will have a chance to teach a class or two at ysu starting in february. i will be teaching the sociology of consumerism and those who know me, also know i can go on about that forever. i am busy working on a syllabus right now so i can submit it. the classes will start in a few months so i am getting ready already. i am so excited that i finally get to reach the youth here. i think i will dedicate an entire class to mc'donalds (old log readers will giggle at this).
work at the cascade is going smoothly. the cascade already looks soo different. the landscaping is breathetaking and the inside work is moving full speed ahead. hopefully we will have a functioning cultural center and transportation mode by early next year.
arthur and i will be taking a trip to america soon and we are really excited to go and catch up with our friends and my family. there are a few things we are saving to do in the usa, like shopping for clothes and eating chinese, mexican, and yummy sushi and seafood. i can't wait to dig into some chilean seabass. i will be torn between my mother's cooking and a fatburger... but will manage both and gain winter weight while in LA, I am sure of this.
speaking of food, there is a new sushi restaurant here in yerevan. it is on toumanian and is a real sushi restaurant. the old sushi place was amalgamated into a yerevanian jazz club (pablavok) and so you could order sushi or borscht... but this new place is japanese designing and a sushi bar with a sushi only menu. we will try it out in a few days.
I WENT TO THE CIRCUS THIS WEEKEND. whoaa, it was cool. arthur and ellen (arthur's neice) and i sat in the front row and got a lot of attention from the clowns. they called arthur on to stage, announced that it was arthur ispirian singer and did a magic trick with him... that involved ropes, a female magician and bonding. i took some pictures and told him i would use it against him later. i was forced to hoola-hoop by some clown in front of the entire audience. having not hoola hooped in years and years... i found it to be quite difficult. but since i last hoola hooped (age 12 at the latest) i have grown hips... and they actually helped me out for a few seconds.
today my throat hurts. i will pop in an old movie and veg in front of the tv until my throat does not hurt anymore. on the way home i will buy lemons and we have some of the best honey that kelbajar has to offer. hoping this will speed things up.
