Make a Lavash Pizza!

I love to eat well and anyone who knows me can attest to that, so is it any wonder that this blog entry is devoted to a new interpretation of the pizza?

Garlic, olive oil, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke crowns, olives, and some basil, with a bit of mozzarella and parmesan...

That does look good. Round it off with a bottle of Tan and you're in business!

Armenian Reporter Loses It

Here's a hilarious video of an Armenian reporter - or the Circus director, perhaps - losing his mind on camera.

Put the volume up.

Edit: The crazy man in the video has been identified as Sos Petrosyan, the director of the circus in Armenia.

Update On Krtsats Kukuruz

If you recall I posted an entry about the now-destroyed krtsats kukuruz or corn cob building that was a veritable landmark in Yerevan until recently, when it was sold for a ridiculous amount and destroyed to make way for an expensive new hotel.

All that aside, it turns out the American Krtsats Kukuruz was used in at least one movie. This clip is from 1980's "The Hunter" with the legendary Steve McQueen.



Enjoy!

Armenia's 2008 Eurovision Entry: Sirusho's Qele Qele

Have a listen. To me this is the most un-Armenian song you can have. Why? First off, Qele isn't proper Armenian, and second of all, the whole song sounds Arabic.

What do you think?

Oh, and don't forget to vote for your favorite!

Click to enlarge. Full size is HUGE so be patient.

Here's a neat chart showing the evolution of our alphabet. Amazing, isn't it?

Video: Police Forces Shooting at Protesters

I promise this will be the last of these videos.

Update: A lot of people are telling me that some of the bullets used in these videos are rubber, meaning they would hurt but not injure or kill the person. Whether or not that is the case clearly cannot be determined.

Video of Protests in Little Armenia

Here's a short clip of the march in Little Armenia earlier today, March 2, 2008. Some claim up to 50,000 people showed, but I find that hard to believe.

Oh, and it seems that most people were...older. Figures, because younger people have better things to do than waste their time with a pointless march.

Imagine being there and not being Armenian.
