(no subject)

I'm having those nights where I can't sleep. Except that I don't know what to do now. In the good/bad old days I might turn on the stereo at 3am and scrub the bathroom, or dye my hair, or make depressing mix tapes and cry. It's harder to do all that while living with someone though.

Maybe I'll dye my hair green, or blue.

Dear CNN, Please Check Twitter for News About Iran - winner of the very best headline EVER.

I have no idea if the opposition will ultimately prove any different. But regardless of the parties and countries involved, the theft of a free election is heinous. Violent suppression of protests and media is intolerable.

Will this be another situation like Hungary in 1956? Will the world do nothing, like Czechoslovakia in 1968? I hope not.
