HBO's Rome.

Have to say.. it might have been a magnificent empire in the ancient world.. but it caused untold suffering to millions of people. Can't imagine the sorrows people experienced.. imagine the romans invading your village and killings everyone you loved then sending you away from your homeland into a brutal life of slavery.

Speaking of Rome, check this out @MehGuy.

HBO Rome tonight.

I do have to say the quality of writing in this show is quite high. There is a lot of subtle moments to enjoy, and the show often feels more grounded and real because of it. Thus far this is my favorite HBO series to watch, although this isn't to say the other shows are bad.

It also helps that I am fascinated with ancient Roman culture. How brutal and different it is compared to today. I just want to psychologically understand their points of view and what it can say about modern man. I feel like this show produces interesting questions.. unlike other more cheesy shows like Spartacus on Showtime. Which relied more of the gore and nudity factor which honestly I found way too much. I wish the show was more human.

I've heard of it. What's that channel about?

 

[MehGuy]

I have to say though that Titus Pullo is my favorite character in this series. If he lived today he'd face multiple life sentences in prison.. but in the context of ancient Rome.. he's a funny and quirky guy.

Home and Garden TV. It about the home and garden and how to redo homes, etc. I’m watching everything kitchen right now.

Good Bones (HGTV).

This show does a good job at making Cleopatra alluring.

Still.. I heard on the History Channel once (although that might not be saying a lot) that there is some evidence she had a long roman nose and was not exactly good looking compared to modern standards.

Given evolution and whatnot.. a larger nose on a woman is less neotenous.. but that part of the world such noses are more common even among the women.. so eh. Personally I don't mind a woman not having a button nose.

I’ve seen many pretty women with all sorts of noses. How a woman carries her features can change many minds.

As someone with a Roman nose myself.. I want society to appreciate them.. lol.

I love Roman noses on men generally. A lot of women are stunning with them as well.

Everybody Hates Chris.

Local news to see what happened with that storm we were supposed to have last night.

Movie: The Nun. It's good from a Catholic perspective. It's based on a true story of a haunted castle that was converted into a convent.
