I watched Charlie Wilson's war while I was doing laundry, so it didn't seem tedious relative to the laundry. Maybe that is the trick - Charlie Wilson's war is a movie that you can watch while doing y ...

I think she went berserk from 1) thirst and 2) an uncleared corpse producing Miasma in one of the meeting zones that I hadn't noticed (as I was away drinking beer). The thirst part was confusing -- i ...
