It has been drizzling for almost a week now on and off. Never a strong rain, but a few hours of sprinkling, usually right before I need to walk somewhere. I walk almost everywhere, but in the rain a taxi is quite tempting, and oftentimes hard to get.
Yesterday I noticed that Haig, who logged here a few times tried to claim on Ara's site that he was removed for having written negative logs, which is hogwash, and I had told him so before. HE was the one who asked me if he could be a logger, and after taking a chance on a guy I had never met, and asking him repeatedly to log more often, after a few weeks more of silence I removed him. Most of you probably don't remember him because he logged so infrequently, but it was just really obnoxious of him to post that after he had made the same claim to me and I had cleared it up. I have never, not once mentioned the content of his logs to him, ONLY asked him a number of times to log more often (which I would not have even done if I had an issue with his logs). I have removed a number of good friends for this same offense including Aram, Ashod and Rhoda, three of the original loggers. Which reminds me... Gayane Yoghurtjian, where are you??? Alright, I have been dwelling on this theme too much lately, but it just has kept coming up.
So the anti-spam software I installed last spring really turned out to be a bit of a flop, since it caused my system to be a bit unstable, but I have found a great new spam fighting system I think. I have only been using http://www.0spam.com for one day now, but it is already working like a charm. I recommend trying it if you have a spam problem, you have got nothing to lose. It has really cleared out my inbox. I still have to go and look at the spam folder now and then, but it is not in my face at all and I deal with it when I want to, not all day long.
Oh yes, last night was quite an arguement at Sayat Nova Restaurant. We love the food there, and the atmosphere, but last night we decided to try the wine and ordered two bottles that we know cost 1,000 dram in the stores, not imagining it could cost much more than a couple of thousand dram a bottle. The bill came for 9,600 dram for the wine alone and after they explained it is "by the glass only" (something they did not mentioned when we ordered a bottle) and that a glass is considered 100ml of wine (which means a normal bottle of wine is considered to be EIGHT glasses of wine at 600 drams each). Well we were quite unhappy and argued a good long time, and unsuccessfully. At the least we said they should have warned us when we ordered a bottle, that it is not measured by the bottle, but by the glass. Well, that was an interesting lesson. I don't know what I learned, maybe to study the menu like a consumer rights freak, but it really did leave a bad taste in my mouth... at least we did get to see the Bart Simpson vs. Australia episode afterwards which raised our spirits!
