*-TOO MUCH INFORMATION

I've been watching Rome, the HBO series, on DVD. Recommended by my friend Kimmi. She liked all the sex...while that is very interesting (and ooh, the only thing keeping it from being actual porn is they never show the entry or the cum shot...and the sex usually helps move the plot along) I also love everything else about it. I love that all the characters are multi-faceted. They're not all good or all bad. They seem true characters of the time (from what little I know of the time) there's no modern sensitivities trying to white-wash these ancient sensibilities. The arrogance, treachery, filth, squalor, vanity, violence, ignorance, piety, greed, sex, color, heat, it's all in there, all of it. I adore it. People sweat and bleed. Except for the fact that ahem...I really doubt Roman women, even nobility, shaved their private hair into those strips. Sorry, I just don't believe it.

And this is equal opportunity erotica, thank you...plenty of frontal male bits too, ooh.

I really want these DVDs. Though there is absolutely no actual need for them in my life. So I won't be buying them...but oh, I do wish I could.

That was a time, wasn't it. They believed they were civilized, of course they were totally brutal. I could say I wished to live in such a time, but of course that's rediculous. I'd be a pleb probably, pregnant at 13 and ancient by 30. Living in stink and filth on the Aventine. Married to a man twice my age and missing teeth probably. All that IF I was lucky and not a slave or a prostitute. Or, gods forbid, a male.

Come now, gentleman, don't take offense. I just can't imagine being a man. I can't see the profit in it. I do enjoy being a girl. I wish I could say I've always been a girl, through all my past lives. But I doubt that's true. But I can't have had much fun as a man, because I see so much more fun being a woman. Really I do. I must have been good-looking and clever in a least a few of my lives, because I do know how to be a bit treacherous myself...even if I'm too much a coward in this life to practice it. I wish I could honestly say too principled, but I only aspire to principles. I don't feel it in my heart. Perhaps that's why I'm still down where I am. Destined to stay there perhaps.

I have to prepare for my reiki appointment. I'm nervous, not having seen my friend in a while. I don't know why I should be nervous. But I am.
