The foliage is beautiful here in New York, lovely shades of gold, orange, and yellow, mixed with red. Although the days are getting chillier, making it extremely hard to get out of bed, and go to school. I miss summer already.

I have been looking everywhere for the Ararat movie on VHS. I do not want to purchase it online, and none of the stores, or blockbusters have it. I'm so mad for not having bought it in Armenia this summer. It was everywhere, in every store, shuka...but here, I'm lucky if they can pronounce it. The reason why I want is because my teacher thought it would be a great idea to extend the Holocaust unit further, with the addition of the Armenian genocide. After my teacher and I looked everywhere for the tape, he threw in his towel, and I resorted to buying the DVD. He said with a DVD it would difficult since there is no DVD player etc. etc. etc. Now he does have the DVD player, except we are on a different unit: governmental conspiracies. So this is great I will bring in the DVD when the unit is over, and I'm glad that my class is still enthusiastic about it. The reason he brought in the DVD player, was to show us segments from the movie Capricorn One. A 70's movie, with bad syncronized music and OJ. A team of scientists stage a phony Mars landing, however everybody believes they land on Mars. I won't ruin the movie, but it really makes you think about the CIA.

I'm excited to see who wins tonight. I hope Yankees!
