I was thinking the other day about how so many celebrities are what I'd term Hollywood Pretty. It seems especially prevalent among the women. I think another word for it is cookie cutter beauties. They work so hard to remove any unique features that every one of them looks the same.

I was cleaning up the filing cabinets, reorganizing, shredding, etc, when I came upon a short story I wrote in 1999. From the look of it, it's a modernized version of Little Red Riding Hood. I don't even think I attempted to get this story published. I'm thinking of revising it, because what I saw didn't look half bad. I only winced twice in the first page.
I also found some old information on Victorian England that I want to read up on. It looks interesting, and I may be able to pull stuff out of it for my post-apoc. novel.

I've been looking for a good CRPG lately, so I bought the game, Eschalon: Book One, an old school, turned-based RPG from Basilisk Games. I've already played about twenty hours this weekend alone. (I was sick most of the weekend. That's my excuse, and I'm sticking by it.) If you couldn't guess, I highly recommend this game.
I'm even considering giving
Neverwinter Nights 2 another chance. Maybe it's finally been patched into playable shape. (We can always hope, right?)
Never did get to play
Axis & Allies last weekend.
