What a weekend, what a weekend. Why so great? Because I didn't have to do nothin' for nobody. All Saturday I spent photographing my portfolio material for my new website (reinasdesign.com coming soon), just to end the day with friends and a movie: "Halfbaked." Not being a weed-smoker myself, but having plenty of pothead friends (mom, dad, close your eyes) it's sometimes fun to watch movies that make fun of them. My favorite is the guy on the couch. That's his name in the movie: the guy on the couch.
Sunday brought me an early morning wake up call... for minutes I tried to shut off my alarm until I realized it was my phone ringing at 9:30 in the morning. It was none other than Armen Carapetian letting me know he was in town and hungry for brunch. So I spent the day with him and his cousin eating... a lot... with a brief intermission for another movie: Legally Blonde... ranking in Arsineh's top 10 favorite comedies. It's up there with Coming to America and Princess Bride. Go Reese Witherspoon.
I slept sorta late Sunday night, so when I had to wake up on that dreaded Monday morning, my body was not cooperating with my sense of logic. I get up early on weekdays... not because I have a job, but because my parking pass is only valid from 4pm to 9am, so I gotta get my Corrolla out of that lot first thing in the morning. So I woke up with little sleep, turn the shower on and wait for the hot water... and wait... and wait... nothing. I took an ice cold shower. Funny, I never had that problem in Armenia. All day was spent with Armen again, but running around for both of us. He had a meeting, I had to prepare for the Ambassador's visit, Tom Samuelian turned up and we drove him as well. It was a loaded day of taxiing and meeting. Rather fun, I think.
Ambassador Ordway's visit was interesting. He was brought to my office for a tour and was told I spent time in Armenia, so I told him what I did there. Just in the middle of the conversation... the cell phone rings. Oh no, it didn't just ring. I seemed to have forgotten to switch it off of the funny ringer sound I set it on (the sound of a bugle horn). He got a kick out of the "crazy sounds these phones have now." Hey, how many times do you get to say, "Excuse me Ambassador, I have to take this call." And now I can add him to the long list of people who have said to me, "I hope to see you in Armenia soon!" Yes, Ambassador, I do too.
Finally I got home and relaxed with a nice episode of Boston Public. Things are starting to seem okay this year.
