i am so addicted to Age of Mythology. Thank god for LCD screens or my eyes would be falling out. I'm trying to be a reasonable person though... an hour here, an hour there, some me-time to break up the day. I'm not normally into computer games... my only vices being the Sims (and any Sim game like Sim City, etc)... and now Age of Mythology. I blame Jenn. She got me into it! The common thread with all my favorite games is that it involves building my own little EMPIRE! Except in A of M i have to conquer and destroy my rivals... *insert evil laugh here*

the funniest part of all is that i turned on the tv last night and saw this featurette on old Greece... examining how they used to defend their cities etc... and i understood it from an entirely different point of view, thanks to A of M. It all made so much more sense!!

(my favorite form of attack is by sea)

i'm also 50/50 about the olympics... seems like that's all there is on tv (frustrating) but when i do turn it on, i get hooked into watching because it can be kinda exciting!

i've been learning some classical guitar... kind of a fun spin on things. Makes me feel very much like a music student again... reminds me of taking classical piano when i was a kid. yeesh. i was just a kid, wasn't i??? it sounds like so long ago. i haven't kept in touch with really anyone from school... have no clue what anyone is up to except for maybe one person. heard of a lot of people getting married through my one or two last connections but that's from running into someone maybe once a year...

did you ever do that thing where you load up google and just put people's names in? i don't find much... marc has been trying different sentences to see what comes up.... apparently there's a whole trend out there... what is it called, google-whacking? or something? i've got to pay attention to details more.
