(no subject)
So, how was my week?
1. I've barely had any sleep because I've been obsessively following the happenings in Iran. This is basically the only thing I can do, I suck at networking or I would've done something with Twitter.
2. I've been sick. I think I have the flu. I'm wearing a fleece sweater over another sweater. Yesterday I almost got violently sick. Ick.
3. Did a grammar test.
4. Watched a lot of Iranian vids on YouTube with my parents.
A video with pictures from the last couple of days. The song is a popular revolution song from 1979. My dad was shocked when he heard it, because he hadn't heard it in years. But he could still sing along. I can actually understand the lyrics and it's pretty heartbreaking. (Found through The Daily Dish)
My elementary schoolmate.
You are with me and my comrade all the way.
We’ve suffered together.
Your tears and sighs are mines as well.
Engraved on this blackboard are our names.
Remaining on our bodies are still the scars of the lash of tyranny and injustice.
This uncultured landscape of ours is covered with weed instead of the green of grass.
Either good or bad, dead is the hearts of all its people.
Your hands and my hands must rip these veils apart.
Who else, except for you and I, could cure our wounds?
But he said that this was the song everyone sang to celebrate the revolution (Spring, congradulations. That's a sucky translation but there isn't a phrase that comes close.)
Anyway, icons.
#1 inspired by a comment strangerface made. Yeah. Art is by Amok.
The rest is made with art from Mike Miller's Hedge Knight comics. They're really cool so buy them.
Don't hotlink, credit, blah blah. You know the drill.
ETA: Replaced the Disco Ned one with one which doesn't exceed LJ limits.
