On Independence Eve I Ponder Solitude. Apropos?

Alone.

There's no one here but me. And I could use some company. I spent the day playing Civilization III and reading Truth by Terry Pratchett. Terry Pratchett is the equivalent of literary television for me. It's not exactly profound or thought provoking (at least not to my over-extended esoteric head) but it's highly entertaining anyway.

Now, I will dive back into the wine and watch Oceans 12 and Sideways. Movie reviews will be forthcoming. I'm going to watch Oceans 12 first because I want to be good and drunk when I watch Sideways, since it's a wine movie. It's also supposed to be one of those "What's it all mean?" movies, and that's what I'm trying to figure out.

Right now, I want to know:

Why am I alone?

Civilization III

I can play that game for hours. Which civilization do you use when you play? For me no one builds empires quite like the Romans.

I shift around a lot. I like the Romans and the Greeks, and Babylon of course. I usually change the names though. Right now I'm Supreme Mugwump S'ma'la'am of the Sirians.

Hey, stop being so wise already. Hey, how far from Omaha are you?

Um.. bout 4 hours... why?

A freind of mine has a friend who lives in Omaha he might go visit. It crossed my mind for a moment, contemplating whether I should go along or not, if he decides to go. :P

Well.. If you do, let me know. I would love to go out there and meet you! :)

I'll let you know. It's a long shot, but I was curious.

[identity profile] maeghanne.livejournal.com 2005-07-04 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah... if not then.. you'll just have to come visit me in Europe. ;)

That's much more promising :)
