Hello again, Hello.
Evelyn here,
the above greeting is from a great song, but I cannot think of its title. However, after so much heavy stuff (entries), I have something to that will lighten the mood. I have received the long awaited news that the second season of my newly beloved series is now in production. Those of you who have been following my entries know that I am speaking of HBO's newest and hottest series "ROME". Earlier this year, I posted my short review of the series, but this time I am posting an excerpt from information I have received.

HBO's epic drama series ROMESM has begun production on its ten-episode second season, it was announced by Carolyn Strauss, president, HBO Entertainment. Filming of the new episodes will continue at Rome's Cinecitta Studios through next October, with debut set for 2007.
"This exciting series offers a spectacle unlike anything else on TV," noted Strauss. "The new episodes of ROME will go deeper into the intriguing characters and provocative storylines that made the first season a hit with critics and subscribers."
Chronicling the fall of a republic and the rise of an empire, the first season of ROME wrapped last December. TV Guide hailed it as a "feast for the eyes" and a "ripping good story," as well as a "shamelessly enjoyable historical romp," while the Washington Post described the series as "ravishing and wickedly shocking," and "a feast for the senses that includes generous portions of food for thought." In addition, ROME receivedtwo Golden Globe® nominations: Best Television Series - Drama and Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series - Drama (Polly Walker).
