recently saw a suomi film about three 90 y/olds, a tragic comedy of sorts... i love finnish humor ;D 'twas named "The Last (Final?) Medals" or something like that otherwise: LOTR Return Of The King - 9/10 Whale Rider - 8.5/10 Hero (the chinese film) - 9/10 Troy - 7/10 Harry Potter ( ) and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 7/10 missed Big Fish though but hopefully won't do the same mistake with Shrek 2

good: still snowing

snow, alas not much (max. 20cm down here - cca. 250m above sea level). rather mild temperatures (-10°C at night, -2°C at day (warmer in the sun of course)), except for the wind. blows hard all day, so it seems a lot colder. pity there's not more snow. and some clear nights to go eavesdrop in the woods.

weird, weird... it hasn't decided if it'll be spring or winter yet... no snow so far (less and less in the last decade ), and it's the freakin east-end ( ;D) of the Alps... all is grey and dusty dark green in the sun, and even greyer in cloudy weather... i'd love it to snow and snow hard as long as it's still time, so that the spring comes fresh and green... mediterranean winters are nice, but at the seaside and not here on the edge of the mountain-woods still it's warm, 'round 10C in the sun (the few hours that it shines)

banners often "express" what is often written in threads, like if we all went on about...dunno... Judas Priest ;D there would probably be ads and banners about this or that JP shit... or so i think (and nobody cares about that, right? ;D)

Medieval central Balkans!!!!! The medieval period is sooo much more interesting than the so-called renaissance! IMHO of course. not really, the worst shit starts in the rennaisance: mass scale = organised persecution of witches, mass (religious backed) slavery, genocide exports, loss of autonomy for farmers and city dwellers etc etc. if you like gorey details... i though about medieval slovene lands, but my latin ain't too good sorry Sethlad, no more misdirections in this thread ;D honest

it seems taht were romans were christianized and not the opposite. just a thought. they were under arab domain, no? and by the way, thks for the info, because now i have an idea where the name that we call to the ppl of the "south" of Portugal came from. your degree is more connected to europe or you also study far east asia history?of course, not the one that is directly related to europe. okay, my last rant about this "co-topic" ;D Grimner put it very well, but with romans and xians: there is a roman-catholic church or isn't it? romanised as in culture, law and language (partially)... most of Europe is romanised other parts graecisized, a few turcisized (Bosnia, Albania) or arabized (Malta) or something other to some degree... cultures intertwine, they rarely stay "pure" ...in remote jungles deserts, islands i'm still deciding (hence 3rd year) from where to get my degree, but it'll probably be 16th-17th century Slovenia or medieval central Balkans (Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro)...
