Hello, my dears.
I'm still in a fairly deep depressive funk, which, going by past experience, will probably last at least another couple of weeks...Katrinaversary+birthday=blechh
I'm taking a break from covering Iran for a little while, unless something really changes dramatically. I just can't cope with it right now.
In the meantime, here are some excellent sites you can use to stay on top of the ever-changing situation there:
I can't praise this site highly enough...the "news and current events" threads are always interesting and insightful. NiteOwl's Green Brief is always cogent, well-organized, and pertinent. One stop shopping for all of your Iran needs!

iran_translator, oxfordgirl, onlymehdi, and most especially sp4rrowh4wk have proven to be very reliable sources with good information
Time.com and Huffington Post have been fairly good at keeping up with the situation and reporting consistently.
If anyone wants to add any links, please do so in comments.
Thank you everyone, for being so understanding. I probably won't be reading LJ much or commenting for a bit...see y'all on the other side.
