sing for the moment

[mimesere]

hm. We haven't heard from my brother yet, or my cousins (some of whom apparently go to Tehran University :( :( :( )

My mom has been glued to the television (though even she says they're not telling her anything).

I am...well. I am reading Night Watch and hoping for the best.

a protest march:

["Allah-O akbar (God is great)
Mikosham mikosham ghatle baradaram-ro (I'll kill the murderer of my brother)
Basiji-e bi-gheyrat, Doshman-e khoone mellat (The shameless basiji, is the blood enemy of people)"]
from http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/

ETA: I should note that my mom thinks (and I agree) that the reason my brother/cousins/various distant relations have not called us *here* is because they think the phones are tapped and people are listening in. Hence the activation of the International Phone Tree. So we're hoping to hear from my cousin Rosie in Germany soon.

{{sheila}} still thinking of your brother and your family there. will now devote wishpower to international phone tree.

International phone tree is awesome and spans 4 countries outside of the US and Iran. It is like the hyped up on steroids version of the "call your mom" voicemail.

And thank you :)

Is it cool if I pray for your brother and other family there?

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Of course :) And thank you.
