Civilization II is the devil.  Any of you remember that game?  It was a computer game popular when I was in, jeez, maybe middle school, where you started out as a little tribe of nobodies and rise to a global empire by discovering new technologies and then using them to kill your enemies.  Good stuff.  Anyway, you didn’t need the CD-ROM to play the game, so I’ve loaded it onto each one of my computers since I ever started playing that game.  That was a mistake.  Every once and a while I stare at that link on the desktop and say to myself, “Well, maybe just a quick little game.”  But see, the thing about Civilzation II is that there is no such thing as a “quick little game”.  It’s more like, how many days would you like to dedicate your life to this?  Last night I kept saying to myself, “Just a little more before bed.”  Every time I said that and looked at the clock again, an hour had gone by.  Finally at 2:30 in the morning I called it quits.  VERY reluctantly, I might add.  Man, was my ass dragging today.  It’s the devil, I say!
