look at this sample of written armenian that came with a credit card renewal. it's only some legalese but it's so pretty, reminding me of when g.b. shaw first saw the gaudy neon ads of times square (when that was still a novelty) and said, "it must be beautiful if you can't read." well, perhaps that's apocryphal or me just misremembering because i can't find the quote online, but you get the idea. been thinking about armenia since tommy, a gables neighbor, stumbled upon our screening of the exterminating angel at QFC a few weeks ago. he's part amernian and followed up with an invite to a film at the beacon he programmed, which i attended tonight. before this, my knowledge of armenia was limited to kurt vonnegut's bluebeard, so it felt good to expand my horizons with Barev, yes em, however slightly.
