0. Why is it that whenever I post something here, I always want to do it very late at night? :P
1. ( I probably write too much about The Letter, but this is hopeful. )
2a. As many of you already know, this past Tuesday was my 21st birthday (and for those of you who wished me a happy birthday on Facebook or LJ, thank you!). ( Read more... )
3a. Tomorrow (technically today) my mom wants us to go to the New Britain Museum of American Art, because they offer free admission in the morning (not like the two Yale-affiliated art museums closer to home are free all the time, but apparently we're just conveniently forgetting about that), and because it's one of the few interesting places in the state that we haven't been before. I kinda don't want to go, mostly because I'm in one of those I-don't-want-to-go-anywhere-or-do-anything moods I get sometimes, but we'll see. If I do go and actually enjoy myself, you'll all know sooner or later. ;-)
3b. And my dad is supposed to start taking me out driving tomorrow too. Again, kinda reluctant to, but I should pick it up again pretty quickly, and I definitely need to get my license by the end of this summer. We've waited far too long to get it.
4. Today is the one-year anniversary of the contested presidential elections in Iran that led to the rise of the Green Revolution, the movement seeking to overthrow Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the current autocratic Islamic Republic, and promote liberal democracy and social justice in their country. I know I haven't posted about it for a good six months, but that was because I heard nothing filtered to me through![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
ontd_political or other news outlets I usually go to for information about the protesters or the movement in that time (if I had heard anything about Iran, it was either about the political oppression in the country, now given more attention thanks to the protests, or about sanctions and deals regarding their nuclear program, which I find both silly and hypocritical, but that's neither here nor there); the Wikipedia link I've given should be a good recap of what has gone on in the past year. Anyway, seeing that this it has been one year on, here's a quick linkdump of what people have written so far:
( Linkdump beneath the cut.... )
