A report from Baghdad

There's this guy named Trueman who's been posting about his experiences as a soldier deployed in Iraq over the past few months; I've been reading his LJ (rebelcoyote) since the summer for a take on the war that you don't get via the media's filters.

Last week, he was injured and one of his best friends was killed - overnight, he wrote about it here:

I'm not going to try and summarize; his words speak for themselves.

Just had to share - mugglenet has screencaps from Charles II of Christian Coulson, Sean Biggerstaff and Shirley Henderson here.

I so dig the hair!

Why? Why? Why?

Ken® as Aragorn wears an elaborate costume featuring a cloak and body armor, crown and sword. Barbie® as Arwen looks serenely beautiful in a light green gown with long sleeves lined in white chiffon and silver loop trim on the bodice and sleeves. Her long flowing hair is adorned with a beaded butterfly patterned hair ornament.
