Still too much smoke on the news.

This photo has been bugging me ever since I saw it on bbc.co.uk.  Sometimes when I see it I think it's funny; other times it makes me bite my lip hard and want to cry.

The caption read:  A US soldier goes window-shopping at a local shop in Karada, Baghdad.'

The paper today said that, not counting the daily bombings, 3000 homicides occur in Baghdad

I hate the war. They always talk about Iraq war and how many people are dying. The title just tells about the news.

OHMYGOSH HAPPY BIRTHDAY. (BelatedbelatedbelatedIknowbutARGHsorry.) I haven't heard from anyone in so long I completely forgot there were such things as birthdays. OHGOSH Vic has a birthday too. Tell her HAPPYBIRTHDAYHAPPYBIRTHDAY for me, will you?

*grovels* forgive me, o Cornelius :(.

And anyway, where have you all been? I haven't seen any of you online for the past... two weeks. Month, even. Although that may be a slight exaggeration. I don't know... have you guys had an influx of exams or something or just been too busy to talk? I'm lonely :(.

And we're learning about media and the Iraq war in Media Studies at the moment... 's interesting the media is always concentrated on where the Americans are. Africa, where there's famine and AIDS a-plenty? China? No... just America-concerned things. I mean, the Middle Eastern stuff has been going on for ages. It's only recently it's been picked up on.
