From the blogger of Iran Rigged Election:
I will participate in the demonstrations tomorrow. Maybe they will turn violent. Maybe I will be one of the people who is going to get killed. I’m listening to all my favorite music. I even want to dance to a few songs. I always wanted to trim my eyebrows very thin. Yes, maybe I will drop by the salon before the rally tomorrow! I have to watch some great parts of Hamoon* again.I also have to go through my books. Shamlou** and Forough** are worth reading at these moments. I have to review my family album too.And my friends! I have to call them to say goodbye. All I have are two bookshelves full of books which I told my family who should get them. I’m two courses away from getting my bachelors degree but who cares about that now. There is a lot on my mind right now. I am writing these scattered sentences for the next generation so they know we were not just emotional and caught up in excitement. So they know that we did everything we could to create a better future for them. So they know that our ancestors surrendered to Arabs and Mongols but did not surrender to despotism. These words are dedicated to the children of tomorrow …”
I don't think I would ever use this phrase in an unironic sense but
Allahu Akbar!

As part of my Digital Design class, we had to make a new blog to post assignments to. I'm still keeping LJ, but I thought I'll plug my new blog as well. It looks like I will be missing A-Kon for the first time since going back in 1995(?).
At least they gave me the option to leave. Watching the inauguration right now. Not a whole lot. I ended up spending four days house-and-dog-sitting for my brother, at which I played a lot of STALKER: Shadows of Chernobyl Wednesday night and Thursday, then got Fallout 3 Friday and played the hell out of that for the next couple of days straight. I want to thank Your result for The Presidential Capacity Test... Religious Adviser to the President74% Values, 37% Charisma and 59% Judgment!
"Do you pray for the Senators, Dr. Hale?" someone asked the chaplain. "No, I look at the Senators and pray for the country." - Edward E. Hale Sorry. You're simply not Presidential material. You simply don't have the leadership ability or the charisma to pull it off. The public have no faith whatsoever in you pulling through. They do believe you though. Your spotless track record and focus on strong character values means they'd believe every one of your campaign promises and bribes. Too bad you're stammering too much for anyone to understand a word you're saying. You're better suited to an advisorial role. Let's make you a religious adviser, hm? Not too much power. No silver-tongue needed. But your emphasis on honesty and loyalty should hopefully keep the President on track.
Other possibilities: ![]() Due to my back condition, my attendence to this coming AnimeFest is becoming unlikely. Unless there's some miracle between now and Friday, I am not likely to appear. My back is still killing me, the medication makes me loopy, and it hurts for me to drive a car unless I absolutely need to. I know that a lot of people I haven't seen in awhile are going to show up, but now I will miss them. Jesus Christ, what a week I've been having. First I go to the doctor's for a back injury, now I have mine and my mom's husband's cars broken into and ransacked them. They also triggered the garage door remote, leaving our home opened up to thievery. Luckily they ran before they could have followed through, but shit, I've been up all night due to this, with paranoid thoughts feeding upon themselves: What's that buzzing sound? Is that JUST the wind blowing? Why hasn't my mom called back? Oh, great another Shadowrun supplement is out. I'll probably buy it, since I'm a completist asshole. Wish there was someone out there who'd want to play the damn game. I just had a dream that I spent $480 dollars on a X-Box 360 from some place in Nicaragua. I did this over the phone and with my credit card. http://www.rr.com/flash/index.cfm?rev=1 Carefully screened, so to avoid any embarrassing pictures, right To
I am tenatively planning for the Shadowrun game to be run this Saturday. I have nothing else planned (i.e. no school, no work, Cloverfield comes out next week) and should be able to get started early if necessary. Let me know if this will be okay or if you have any other plans. |
