My December 5 log… I don’t know if you are still interested in “old news”.
It’s been a cold week… I mean reeeeeeally cold! Yesterday was -18C… yep that is 18 below 0… 0 being the freezing point.
It snowed a lot too. Did I tell you that Amassia had built her first snowman when I was in Armenia a few weeks ago? Anyhow, it’s winter alright and it really feels like Christmas.
Talking about Christmas, our “perfect”, very politically correct Canadian society would like to start calling the “tree” by its new and “respectful” name … Holiday Tree! I mean really! How far can these people go? I really have to get out of here!
Inch vor eh, I saw Ararad twice. Both were very different experiences and I read them differently each time. I have to say that I enjoyed the acting. Arsiné Khanjian was at her best. I don’t know when we can start talking about scenes and details about the film… since I believe there are a few of you who have not seen it yet.
I miss Yerevan. I miss the noisy Abovian/Tumanian khachmerouk…
…my log ended here!
TODAY
Montreal Armenians have been quite active. There has been a book sale at the community Center. Last Sunday, Prof. Marc Nishanian spoke at Hamazkayin, and I was the host of a half hour show about the Armenian community of Montreal. The show was in French and aired 4 times. My co-host Celine Kuyumku and I demonstrated a very cool and hip community that is well connected and very well organized. I think most of the viewers were satisfied.
On another note, my brother told me about the fact that the US government had put Armenia on their list of countries where its citizens had to register at the borders (finger prints etc). I just a few minutes ago that only 3 days later, the Armenian lobby was able to remove Armenia’s name from that list. I must say that this makes me feel very proud. It was great to see Armenians from Armenia and the diaspora working together towards a common goal… and the result was excellent! Bravo mezi.
You know, I still haven’t seen Gor perform live!
NB: Bonne Fête Patrick.
