oh lala - Tom is a fancy schmancy social butterfly, pass it on.

Going to see Wicked tonight.

Have no idea what the rest of the weekend holds beyond watching baseball.

I know I'm horribly late on this (wasn't online at all yesterday after 5), but, Kat, I have a local-ish friend with a very, very similar background to L's (even grew up in the same area, and similar family dynamics--except her dad died when she was young, and her relationship with her mom became much rockier without that buffer and mediator between them). I'd be happy to ping or call her; she's got tons of local Armenian-American groups, churches and individual contacts, and even if nothing changes mom's mind, she could at least offer L some perspective on family and future and finding your adult woman's self from within the constraints of that particular set of cultural expectations.

What are people doing this weekend?

I'm driving back to uni, on the other side of the country (which, let's face it, isn't all that far in the UK!), and attempting to finish this paper. Which is rather exhausting. That's about it, apart from trying to remember to eat and sleep. (I don't do so well with living alone. I'm looking forward to coming home properly in August/September.)

Also trying not to panic about the fact that, when I next come home, it will be to a different apartment. And that The Girl is trying to move all on her own. Gah.

Going to see Wicked tonight.

Nice! It's a fun show.

Free Comic Book Day, which everyone knows is the bestest holiday ever!

Woot! Blackest Night #0, baby!!! t edit Ooh, Avengers also! I wonder if my comic store is still giving people with pull lists 2 free comics.... t edit again And Love & Rockets!

One of them was written up in the New Yorker!.

Are you going to try for the Most Sharp-Dressed Man award?

I totally forgot this was Derby weekend. We were invited to a party in Louisville Saturday night, which seems either really fun or entirely insane.

flea - are you looking for used or new?

Nice! It's a fun show.

It is! I saw it with my daughter in New York a couple of years ago. This is the road company and my husband and son will get to see it for the first time. Gotta love a show in which the only truly evil character is the PR hack.

I vote for some combination of both.

This weekend I am putting this paper to bed. Also hopefully getting rid of out futon couch/bed and futon chairs.

I figure at night the traffic from Cincy to Louisville won't be any worse than normal. (Of course, by saying that, I've just ensured a 3-hour backup.)

This weekend I'm getting a piece of furniture ready for transport to some distant family members, and preparing my executrix files for a county clerk.

Also, gardening and wine.
