The last week or so Alex, the Boys and I have been watching the dvds for the HBO series Rome. While Mocha and I have seen them several times, this was Alex's and Fuego's first time. Fuego found them a bit too violent and did not care for the amount of cursing. However, Alex loved it. The series ran a few years ago and only for two seasons. It tells of Julius Caesar's rise to power, his fall, and the rise of Gaius Octavian Caesar, including his battle with Mark Antony and Cleopatra. The series is amazingly well done. The casting was brilliant. They spare no detail and you can easily forget you are living in 2009 and have to get some sleep so you can avoid zombie-esque behavior at work the next day. It tells the story in full, yet leaves you wishing there was more to see.
Even though Fuego lost interest, he did find Cleopatra irresistible and fell in love with the inventive wigs and head pieces she wore. We discovered his new found fetish when we came home one day and caught him in the act of prancing around with a makeshift head piece of his own. If he weren't so cute, I would be very upset about his use of my scarf!
