Watched the 2004 Troy film with my girlfriend tonight.
It was.
Fine.
No one was very likable and the plot felt a little jumbled, but the latter was possibly because I did not pay a great deal of attention to the film.
-
Thinking about Rome again.
-
Ren Faire was awesome. Lots of good music and there was a buhurt group (think like MMA but with medieval armor and weapons)
-
Watching all of HBO's Chernobyl and then Nuremberg in the same day was uh
Quite the experience I suppose
Anyways dad and I made spaghetti and it turned out really well!

Gonna take my girlfriend shooting on Tuesday. We're also going to the Ren Faire this Saturday. She's dressing up, I'm not. I want to slowly add on to what I wear as a costume to Ren Faires, but I do not currently have much disposable income to be spending on such additions and upgrades, unfortunately. So, she will be in a mostly period-accurate (to early Middle Ages Northern Europe) costume, and I will be Regular Man

Sketched and inked the outline of a new map last night. I think it turned out pretty well.

Bought Crusader Kings III. It was on sale for fifteen dollars (my computer will explode if I try to run it)

On this day in 763 BC, Romulus founded the city of Rome. Rome would last as a state from that day until May 29th, 1453, with the Fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks. It existed as a continuous political entity for over two thousand years.

Currently reading Caesar by Adrian Goldsworthy, The Komnene Dynasty by John Carr, and The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli. All quite good.

Crusader Kings II with a bunch of the DLCs. Some of the most fun I've had with a game in a while. -
On this day in 44 BC, Gaius Julius Caesar was murdered in the Senate House by a group led by Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longigus. He was stabbed 23 times, and his death triggered a series of civil wars that ended with his great-nephew Octavian as the first emperor of Rome

Dang I forgot how good all these Civil War songs are. When Johnny Comes Marching Home and Marching Through Georgia are especially fun to listen to.

Little thing I wrote earlier.

---------
The dawn shone brightly on rank upon rank of steel. Helmets and spears glittered in the rising sun, making the Calamon Heights appear to glow, from a distance. Maelon had assembled nearly twenty thousand men from across the realms that remained free. Vunara, the capital city of the small kingdom of Bæryvun, lay fewer than a dozen miles to their South, fortified and prepared for a siege, if the assembled army failed. Across the heights to the North, arrayed in an unruly mob, was the force led by the demon called the Scarecrow. Perhaps it was a trick of the eyes, or perhaps it was the darkness of the Abyss, but it seemed that the light of the sun did not reflect off of the enemy—rather, it seemed that the light was absorbed and strangled. Maelon’s gaze lingered for a moment longer, his thoughts obscured with doubt and worry, before turning and making the short walk back to the tent he and his brother shared.
The tent flaps hung loose, neither tied closed nor open. Brushing one aside with a gloved hand, the king ducked under the top of the opening, letting the flap fall back into place, gently pushed around by the rising breeze. Thaddeus did not look up from where he sat cross-legged, his greatsword laying unsheathed across his lap. Thaddeus had one hand underneath the blade, the other extended outward, palm up. His eyes cast down to the sword, his mouth moved silently in repetition of a wordless prayer, one that Maelon had heard more times than his own name.
None of that, of course, was out of place. What drew Maelon’s eyes, though he had seen it before, were the lines of fire streaming from the lanterns to Thaddeus’ outstretched hand, and from his outstretched hand into his sword. Few times before had Maelon seen his brother do such a thing, as it took great focus and time, such as the two had not often had before battle. It was also a thing that Thaddeus was loath to do, as the great power coursing through him and the sword after the ritual grew at times of duress difficult to control.
