Sorry for the lazy posting. I stupidly went and started playing Black & White 2 and it's had me by the you-know-whats all day. I say stupidly not only because of the potential for addiction and time-wasting, but also because I have the prior experience of having played the original Black & White, one of the most over-hyped pieces of crap ever released. This one's been fun so far, and they seem to have removed a lot of the tedium that gave the original such a short shelf-life.
I use the cow.
Never fear. I will be burned out shortly. Read: now.
Oh, I also watched Fever Pitch at my wife's recommendation -- she had seen it on an airplane. It's surprising, because while I generally like her, my wife can't stand Drew Barrymore as a rule. I think there's some female psychology going on as I notice that Barrymore has gone from her previous pudgy-face cute to a state of distractingly homely in this film. Seriously...what happened? My theory is that too much plastic surgery coupled with her current weight-loss has left her with and oddly shaped face and nose. That's my theory. Thank you.
The movie was pretty good, though. Cute romantic commedy. Oh, and it was nice to see Ione Skye again, even if it was just a small role. I used to love her.
I'm giving the film a Solomonia rental recommendation.
P.S. I know people have been getting odd "500 errors" when leaving comments, and I'm working with Movable Type support to figure out why. It's something hard to nail down, but we are working on it. Sorry for the flakyness.

It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."

Drew was starting to not look as good because she was heavy and likely from her past drug abuse? but she's not even 30 and she's already had significant or any plastic surgery to her face? I would doubt it?
Ion Skye of course you know her where everyone else knows her from Say Anything. But she doesn't look that good anymore. From the pictures in her IMDB file she was heavy a few years ago and now she's trimmed up and looks like she is trim and lifting but doesn't look as feminine as she used to...
I heard she does not date guys? I forget where I heard that?
