cold and rainy. still have the winter blanket and absurd electricity bills are the only thing stopping me from keeping my heater on all day. i write this as i approach may 1 and wonder why i still have not packed away my winter wardrobe.

my hands are killing me, i am completely ignoring my carpell tunnel syndrome and i had to take aspirin last night, it hurts. but there is no way around it... i work a lot and hands are not something you can set aside and not use.

i have been working non-stop for so many days that i went crazy yesterday and marked it as a day off from everything. the television stations called in the morning to interview arthur and we decided... NO, NOT TODAY! it is our day off.

so we had breakfast with friends, visited arthur's family came home and hung out at the apartment and eventually settled down for a nap. the house was a mess and i had not done cleaning. we were woken up by the doorbell... surprise filming... they just walked into our house. we were pissed. we smiled and faked it but we were not happy about it.

next we went to my cousin david's house (he recently just got engaged to the beautiful lala) and lala had made a traditional persian-armenian dish. we talked and hung out all nigt until we were tired and ready to retire.

today there is another filming at our house (do these tv stations not have studios and sets? i dont understand) and then... we are having a small after russian hang...

i have been taking russian for over two months and i must say... we are doing ochin kharasho.
