Thrill of the fight

Civ3 is effecting me again. Last night I waged war on the Russians. Tanks versus riflemen, I took two cities including the capital. Then Germany declared war on me because I didn't want them in my land. Tanks versus archers is never a fair fight. I squished the archers and swordsmen and then I took their capital.

About this time my people all started rioting because they don't like being at war. I was tempted to switch from democrasy to Nationalism because then they'd all be happy about being at war, plus they work faster but I chose the path of peace instead. I'm only at war with the Iroquois people now. I'm sending a galleon over with tanks in it. They have horsemen.

I'm reading Enchantment by Orson Scott Card. It's good. Kinda sexy. I was not expecting it to be sexy at all. It's about a guy who finds a princess asleep in the forest and wakes her up. She then takes him into her world (970 ad Russia) where everyone thinks he's a weak weirdo. They have to get married to break Baba Yaga's curse on the Princess and just now they've run away and travelled into the present. There's a whole thing with magic bridges between worlds and you can't take things from one world to another. Hence: nakedness. There's more to it than that obviously, but I'll let you read for yourselves.

It's bad to read things at work during lunch hour that make you feel sexy.
That is all.
