Now that France has been defeated, I will leave China for tomorrow...

Okay, I freakin' did it. I bought Civilization III, and it's of course taken over my free time. But, it's so goddamn fun, and it's exactly what the Doctor ordered. Some people destress with first-person shooters. I like the turn-based strategy games, myself. Problem is, it's impossible to play a 15 minute game, and it's near impossible to stop yourself before you've wasted 3 hours of your time. So.. the trick is not to play too often, and to save after you give yourself mini-goals. Such as obliterating Japan, Russia, Germany and France (damn those French, they were the hardest of the bunch!)
