Well, I didn't have anything in particular to rant about, dear LiveJournal, until I saw that you'd further modified the look of your site.

( What the ever-loving hell, LiveJournal? )

С ДНЕМ ПОБЕДЫ!"Victory Day - May 9: It is the greatest holiday for Russian people. It is both joy and sorrow. But there is much more on this day because we managed to defend our independence and we won 'The Brown Plague' and stood the test of war with dignity. A great gratitude to those who lost their lives for today's peace and happiness. And eternal memory will last forever."
Happy belated Victory Day to the U.S.A., as well...:-D!
And happy Mother's Day, too, lol.

EDIT AT 1:19 P.M.:

“Comin’ In On A Wing And A Prayer
Comin’ In On A Wing And A Prayer
Though there’s one motor gone, we can still carry on,
Comin’ In On A Wing And A Prayer

What a show! What a fight!
Yes, we really hit our target for tonight!
How we sing as we limp thru the air
Look below, there’s our field over there

With our full crew aboard and our trust in the Lord
We’re Comin’ In On A Wing And A Prayer”

“Мы летим, ковыляя во мгле,
Мы ползем на последнем крыле.
Бак пробит, хвост горит и машина летит
На честном слове и на одном крыле..."

"Ну, дела! Ночь была!
Их объекты разбомбили мы до тла.

Мы ушли, ковыляя во мгле,
мы к родной подлетаем земле.
Вся команда цела, и машина пришла
На честном слове и на одном крыле”

I found the song and its lyrics at this blog!

There were two bombings in Moscow today. I'm not even going to go into a rant about terrorism; rather, I'm going to state the fact that my heart goes out to the innocent victims and their families....

I saw this in a few journals on my f-list and decided to post it, too.

<div align='center'><img src="http://i42.tinypic.com/33de9vp.jpg"></div> <div style='text-indent:20px;'>If you are reading this right now, you have more luxury than someone in Iran could ever hope for right now. If you are watching TV or a video on youtube, updating your status on Facebook, Tweeting, or even texting your friend, you are lucky. If you are safe in your home, and were able to sleep last night without the sounds of screaming from the rooftops, you need to know and understand what is happening to people just like you in Iran right now.</div> <div align='center'><img src="http://i44.tinypic.com/334ot1v.jpg"></div> <div style='text-indent:20px;'>They are not the enemy. They are a people whose election has been stolen. For the first time in a long time, a voice for change struck the youth of Iran, just as it did for many people in the United States only seven months ago. Hossein Mousavi gained the support of millions of people in Iran as a Presidential candidate. He stands for progressiveness. He supports good relations with the West, and the rest of the world. He is supported with fervor as he challenges the oppressive regime of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.</div> <div style='text-indent:20px;'>On Friday, millions of people waited for hours in line to vote in Iran's Presidential election. Later that night, as votes came in, Mousavi was alerted that he was winning by a two-thirds margin. Then there was a change. Suddenly, it was Ahmadinejad who had 68% of the vote - in areas which have been firmly against his political party, he overwhelmingly won. Within three hours, millions of votes were supposedly counted - the victor was Ahmadinejad. Immediately fraud was suspected - there was no way he could have won by this great a margin with such oppposition. Since then, reports have been coming in of burned ballots, or in some cases numbers being given without any being counted at all. None of this is confirmed, but what happened next seems to do the trick.</div> <div align='center'><img src="http://i42.tinypic.com/300hbmg.jpg"></div> <div style='text-indent:20px;'>The people of Iran took the streets and rooftops. They shout "Death to the dictator" and "Allah o akbar." They join together to protest. Peacefully. The police attack some, but they stay strong. Riots happen, and the shouting continues all night. Text messaging was disabled, as was satellite, and websites which can spread information such as Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, and the BBC are blocked in the country. At five in the morning, Arabic speaking soldiers (the people of Iran speak Farsi) stormed a university in the capital city of Tehran. While sleeping in their dormitories, five students were killed. Others were wounded. These soldiers are thought to have been brought in by Ahmadinejad from Lebanon. Today, 192 of the university's faculty have resigned in protest.</div> <div style='text-indent:20px;'>Mousavi requested that the government allow a peaceful rally to occur this morning - the request was denied. Many thought that it would not happen. Nevertheless, first a few thousand people showed up in the streets of Tehran. At this point, it is estimated that 1 to 2 million people were there. Mousavi spoke on the top of a car. The police stood by. For a few hours, everything was peaceful. Right now, the same cannot be said. Reports of injuries, shootings, and killings are flooding the internet. Twitter has been an invaluable source - those in Iran who still know how to access it are updating regularly with picture evidence. People are being brutally beaten. Tonight will be another night without rest for so many in Iran no older than I am. Tonight there is a Green Revolution.</div> For more information: PICTURES: <a href="http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2009/06/irans_disputed_election.html">here</a> and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mousavi1388/sets/">here</a> NEW INFORMATION: <a href="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/">Here</a> - near constant updates <a href="http://community.livejournal.com/ontd_political/3342819.html">Here</a> - ONTD_political live post ON TWITTER: @<a href="http://www.twitter.com/StopAhmadi">StopAhmadi</a>, @<a href="http://www.twitter.com/ProtesterHelp">ProtesterHelp</a> <div align='center'><img src="http://i39.tinypic.com/1o3deg.jpg"> دنیارابگوییدچطورآنهاانتخاباتمان دزدیده اند Tell the world how they have stolen our election</div> <div align='right'> - original post by <lj user="one_hoopy_frood"></div>

One day the Dynamic Duo of Miguel and Tulio () watched a movie called The Road to El Dorado (). They soon found themselves glued to the T.V. screen (). Just as the credits were rolling an hour and a half later, Chel dropped by to say "Hello" ()! Tulio suddenly started to stress out () because he realized that it was now November and that NaNoWriMo had officially started. He knew that if he didn't start and finish his own NaNoWriMo novel this year, Cortez would have his head () (for what reason exactly, we'll never know). Over the next few days, Tulio read the first three Harry Potter () books to get inspiration, but after a while he started to get distracted by movies--including The Wild Thornberrys Movie (), The Hunchback of Notre Dame (), The Lion King II: Simba's Pride (), and Anastasia (). (Sadly, he had misplaced his Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron DVD, otherwise he would have watched that, too.) Chel got annoyed by Tulio's inattentiveness () and threatened that if he didn't get to work on his NaNo novel, she would break up with him. In the end, Tulio finished his novel with 50,000 words and was proclaimed an official NaNoWriMo winner (). Surprisingly enough, it was Tzekel-Kan who ended up enjoying Tulio's novel the most ().
