Tomorrow is Great Barekendan, or Armenian Mardi Gras/Carnival, followed on Monday by Lent. I don't think I will keep the Armenian Church Lenten diet this year (going vegan), which is Bak in western Armenian and Bas here in Eastern Armenia. I am still considering doing Bak-light (just being a non-strict vegetarian - ie. eggs, fish and meat broth are ok), but even that seems like too much trouble :-) No really, unless you cook at home, vegetarian options are not exactly plentiful here, especially this time of year. And I usually eat out or order in since it is pretty cheap.

Today I will get some remonding quotes - wish me luck, maybe do a little gardening, have an evening with friends, and tomorrow all I have on the agenda is carpet shopping. Last night I saw "Adaptation", a Nicolas Cage flick. It was pretty cool. So that is the status of things in my world...
