I like movies. I'm a genuine movie-fan. I like them way better than anything T.V. has to offer, in the same light as why I'm more of a record/cassette tape/MP3 fan than a radio fan.

After rewatching "Waterloo" for the gazillionth time early evening, then talking to my GF on the phone at around midnight. I was still wide awake 2 hours later, playing Rome: Total War. So what kept me up?

Well, I had only one Gallic province to wipe out. Interestingly enough, their last province was not in France--it was in the Iberian peninsula hehehe), and I promised myself to wipe the Gauls off the face of the Earth with that last battle on Spanish soil, and what a grand ...
