It's because of Civilisation 2.
I love to play Civ2. I have been being the Japanese and naming towns after anime characters. I had to start again once because the mean old Greeks were picking on me. My new game is much better because I am the most advanced civilisation and I am at war with nobody.
My long weekend was full of Civ2 and relaxing. It was great.
I have read The Dice Man by Luke Rhineheart, which was very well written if disturbing. Kinda Fight Club-esque thematically but with much more psychology. Much longer too. I am now reading Brilliance of the Moon which is the third book of the Otori by Lian Hearn. i am making it last by only reading it at home.
I saw Jesus Christ Superstar last night and it was fantastic. I'd tell you all to see it, but I think the season is sold out now. Our seats were right at the side of the stage so we could see the middle of the stage and the far side but the side closest to us was hidden by the erm, side of the stage. Thankfully not too much of the action happened there so it was OK.
The girl playing Mary (didn't buy a program so don't know her name) was fantastic. She had the most powerful amazing voice, and she was pretty and had a great outfit. For the costumes they had gone quite traditional Isreali with long skirts for both sexes and very drab colours. Judas wore black and was an incredible actor. Jesus was also wonderful. He wore long white robes much of the time and was very good at portraying all the varied emotions.
I just love Andrew Lloyd Webber's music too so I had a fantastic night. I was all hyped up when I came home and then I played Civ2 and my brain was hotwired. I couldn't get to sleep for ages and when I did get to sleep I dreamed about live action Ranma 1/2. It was pretty disturbing.
I've also been having training at work, which has been really great. I'll write some more later, but work is busy and when I get home it'll probably be Civ2. So no promises.
