5. I was going to see it this afternoon...
but when I got to the local theatre near my apartment (I hadn't been before.), they wanted $11.50 for a matinee so I decided that I'd wait for it come out on DVD and redbox it. It doesn't look like a special-effects laden movie so I don't think I'm missing much to not see it on the big screen. I'm not paying $12 (incl. tax) for a ticket and $8 for popcorn and Coca-Cola.

7. I am reading a series of novels about the late Roman Republic. Great reading.
Just finished reading the period which covers Cicero's consulship and the Cataline conspiracy. during a Senate meeting Caesar gets a note from his lover Servilia Caepio, Cato the Younger's half-sister. Cato sees Caesar getting the note and goes "AHA! We have caught him read-handed conspiring with the traitors!". Caesar shows Cato the note and starts a huge commotion, LOL.

21. Colleen McCullough's Masters of Rome series, I thought that might be it.
I actually have the first 2 volumes but have not read them yet.

17. For those that don't recognize it,

I probably should have mentioned that before. :dunce:
