So Hot...So Very, Very Hot

Holy crap, it is literally 98 degrees in our apartment (really, the air conditioner is broken and that's what the thermostat says), so this is going to be a quick one.  The keys are going to melt to my fingers and start coming off soon:

Spacemen 3 - Hypnotized

Man, remember when MTV used to actually play stuff like that?  I don't.

Oh Iran, you are like a girl I used to know.  Things gets more and more interesting, and then you suddenly start to withdraw, so I respect your right to your own life and privacy.  Ever so gradually, I start to move on as I see there is no hope of your return, and as soon as I have all but completely lost interest and have even started talking to your cute neighbor Armenia, you come back in full force to toy with my emotions again.  

Now, what I meant to say with that creepy metaphor is that even though I was emotionally prepared to start complaining about other things, events sort of flared up in Iran again today - there was another protest, again quelled violently and with all the bells and whistles (tear gas, helicopters, you know); even a couple of high-ranking clerics and presidential candidate Mehdi Karroubi made an appearance, and although Mir Hossein Mousavi was supposed to be there, he was stuck in Tehran's notorious traffic (kind of a funny image actually - I can totally see him banging on the dashboard and getting all flustered).

You can find all sorts of stories about it today so I'll just let you all go to whichever news source publishes the political views that most closely align with your own if you want more details.  More is likely to develop over the next few days, but I can almost promise you that I will have nothing to say about it until this air conditioning is fixed - I'm literally sweating a pound a minute just sitting here in my bed.

Anyway, if you're interested in seeing some videos of what went on today, they can be found here.  Now if you'll excuse me, I am going to go try and lay still...as still as possible...
