The phone just rang. It was Arnold! Our governor. He asked me to join his fight
against "special interests" by attending some rally somewhere near
San Francisco on Sunday. And then he hung up. The recording was seamless
and as natural as I've ever heard. It scared me at first, and then his accent,
and thoughts about the whole marketing and presentation of politicians, made
me laugh.

Love comes when you least expect it. It's like the number nine bus. You wait
and wait, it doesn't turn up. You decide to walk to the next stop, look behind
you and there it is - too far to run back to.

Why is the word dictionary in the dictionary? If you don't know what a dictionary
is why would you be looking in one? You buy a vacuum cleaner you don't need
to be told it's a cleaning device. It's a fair guess you know that already.

I just weighed myself after taking a shower. My pants felt bigger than usual
when I was putting them on. I thought the time is right. I stood on the scale
with delshooreh and excitement. It showed 192 pounds. I smiled ear to ear:
I've lost 10 pounds in past three months or so -- just by generally eating
less, especially at night. I should be 30 pounds less in a perfect world.
I'm glad it isn't.

peyvand khorsandi:
I was looking at my six-year-old cousin yesterday and noticed I was wearing
the same clothes as him: combats, T-shirt, trainers. Children should be forced
to wear suits, pressed shirts and proper shoes until they're 21. Then they
can dress like adults.
Ilnaz Roomiani:
I noticed that you showed Darius in the UK
music charts. What is much more exciting is Deep Dish also on the list
with the song Flashdance.
This is an excellent dance track. The featured singer Anousheh is great as
well. It would be cool if you featured this song and let other Iranians
know about the good work these guys are doing.

note from tehran
I don't want to "roode-deraazi", but did you know some of the ISPs
in Iran have begun filtering iranian.com? Like I am at work right now, and
the provider I use here (Afranet) gives me the "access-denied" page
almost everytime I try to see your site, but the one I use at home (Neda Network)
never does. Strange thing is that it used to be the other way around, meaning
Neda Network was censoring iranian.com for some time and Afranet wasn't. Thought
you'd be interested to know. Btw, please don't publish this as
a "letter to the editor". :-)

javaneh and i flew to washington a few weeks ago to attend saman's
wedding. when we got onto the united airlines plane, i noticed there were
bibles in the magazine racks. is this a new practice? what on earth? isn't
taking a flight scary enough these days? do we need to increase an already
super religious climate? do passengers need to feel they're in a church? i
think the questions themselves gave me the answer: we live in an ultra religious/
conservative era. look around you. in almost every country the mood is wayyyy
to the right. so we shouldn't be surprised. but a lot of us are.
at saman's wedding, a friend of mine said she had noticed the same thing. on
a recent flight she had been upgraded to first class. when she got her meal,
there were small cards on the tray with quotes from the bible! her reaction? "what
the fuck?!" ohoy! listen up you airline knuckleheads: why not quote mark
twain? albert einstein? i dunno, confucius? or rodney dangerfield? we have
moved beyond jesus (and mohammad and bab). stop stirring religious fervor for
a fast buck. it's not worth it. the world is turning into one giant temple.
let us at least be god-free in the skies.

Philosophy, as I have so far understood and lived it, means living willingly
among ice and high mountains, seeking out everything strange and questionable
in existence, everything so far placed under a ban by morality. The ice is
near, the solitude tremendous, but how serenely all things lie, how freely
one breathes, how much one feels lies beneath one's self. -- Friedrich

I myself won't be able to follow the match live. I'm playing tennis with

about him later). I cancelled our Monday game because I had to re-string
my racket. When I called him this afternoon we agreed to play Wednesday morning
