So the fires are over, and really if you watch the news at all... you start wondering is there a war in the middle east somewhere or in Southern Cali?? There's really a lot going on in L.A., but of course I will only mention a few things. Work is doing pretty well--we're busy. Our new house is still coming along slowly. We are now working on the curtains/blinds department, and my room still has boxes all over it since I haven't had any time to go through everything. This weekend I'll be visiting IKEA one more time to buy some loose end stuff (for example much-needed curtains). The good news is, that 90% of my books are up on my shelves, and it feels nice to sit back and look at my "treasures". But I can't help to wonder...how would i move all my books to Armenia when I move there??? Let's just say I have about 10 times the books Artbridge has... I can open a library! :) (heyyyyyyyyyyy there's an idea!) Another funny thing--and anyone who really knows me will really crack up about this (especially my cousins). During the move, I seemed to have lost one of my shoes...and no I don't mean one pair... ONE SHOE... oor es goshig??? Should I tie a napkin and throw it somewhere in my room and hope the shoe turns up? (hey--don't knock it... it has worked for my remote).
Last weekend I went to SF with 2 friends and my cousin. We had a great time. We spent all day saturday at Napa Valley, visiting the different wineries, and then later doing some shopping in the city (SF). Sunday morning I went to church with my sister ... since she is the choir director there. I hadn't been to church in a while, and hearing the "Hayr Mer" really made me realize what I'm missing. For some reason, though... church in LA isn't quite the same. I'll try to find one that gives me that same feeling. One thing though... how funny that right before the haghortutyun.. everything the Der Hayr said I had done wrong -- he was right on the money! Made me think. So on Sunday evening we went to the Arax Mansurian concert at the Legion of Honor, and unfortunately it wasn't all that I thought it would be. I will leave it at that. But it was interesting nonetheless.
While I was gone, on Nov. 1st the United Human Rights Council organized a "protest" in front of the Dorothy Chandler in Downtown LA, because the government of Turkey was celebrating its 80th anniversary. AYF members were present at the event, outside the Dorothy Chandler passing out fliers to the people attending the event, informing them of the crimes the turkish government has committed against humanity. Well, 2 members had purchased tickets and were inside the event, and under their clothes wore the t-shirt that read, "Turkey: Republic of Inhumanity". Of course once they exposed the t-shirts they were removed from the dinner. The point is that we really educated a lot of the non-Turkish people who were present...and they were very interested and supportive.
Next weekend I'll be flyin' out east for the AYF's 70th anniversary. Just when I needed a break from L.A. -- perfect timing!
