I agree, it's one of your best (as if I'm one to say anything, but you know what I mean).
Oh, definitely. I'm in Istanbul for holidays and all my troubled thoughts are back at home stuffed in my wardrobe. :P

I suppose my fondness of Apocalyptica might have had something to do with my love of the cello. And drums, well, my brother promised me he'd make me his permanent bandmate if I learned, haha.

I started watching Merlin during a very lazy period of my life where at some point I didn't do anything but watch lame TV shows, and I can't stop watching now.
I haven't seen much of Til except in King Arthur and Tomb Raider. Can't say I liked either one of them, but whatever.
