System is "taking a break"

After this summers Ozzfest, System of a Down is going on a hiatus. They will do their own things for a while... Read the MTV article for details.

Meanwhile, here the weather is nice and warm this past week, but raining every day. The construction mess in Yerevan makes that rather muddy in parts of town. But, the first section of the Northern Avenue is now practically done. The sidewalks are being finished (I'd give that another week), you can already walk around, the big barrier is down, and you can get a good feel of what the finished street will look like from Opera. I'll have to get some pics for you folks...
