To me it sounds like a dictator was egocentric enough (understatement, I know) to name a big city after himself.

It was renamed to Leningrad three day's after Lenin's death.
Now, Stalingrad, that was an egomaniac name. The man was still alive.

Yesterday I watched all three extended Lord of the Rings DVDs with a few friends. Took forever since we had a lot of breaks in between but it totally rocked.

Last night me and a bunch of my friends watched Pulp Fiction and it was more than sufficient amounts of epic, as was Clue earlier in the day.

Everything.
My life is rubbish right now. Well, the weekend was cool. Now today wasn't.
I've messed things up with a girl... grrr. I'm trying to salvage it but I don't think I can sort this out.
And it's not Kim.
