Normal relationship stuff is being unpleasantly spiked with international news this evening.
N flew out to visit her family for a couple of weeks this afternoon. Unfortunately, they happen to live in Tabriz, in Iran. This was supposed to be a sure win for the presidential challenger Mir Hossein Mousavi, it being his home town and an Azeri stronghold. The results didn’t come out that way and now there are kinda alarming clips on YouTube and Twitter echoing ominous retweets.
I’m sure the use of social media to circumvent political suppression in this instance is fascinating but I’d be happy with a simple text message right now.
