Her cocktail party on the 14th is in celebration of Alex and Lydia's birthdays (Lydia's b-day is on the 14th).<BR/><BR/>And I'm so glad you pointed that out to me because it made me look at the family tree where I saw that Alex's birth year was wrong. He was born in '37, not '39. Alex is 37 and Lydia will be 20. Also, Horace was born in '56 not '55. *grumbles* Eh well. It's fixed now.Penelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16697841178807127327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140199280786281854.post-80288769418740971352008-11-05T13:54:00.000-05:002008-11-05T13:54:00.000-05:00I think Raul was fairly creepy.

I think he was living with some weird CAS sim I made before he ODed on heroine. And such was the life of Alexander Goth.<BR/><BR/> Uhhhh yeah, the Alexander Goth of this story is not nearly so rock and roll. He is a gynecologist. He likes turkey sandwiches with egg and extra mayo. He watches bass fishing on TV. He is married to a woman that he used to love and has three bratty kids that he doesn't understand. He is also borderline stalking his daughter-in-law (Lydia, Siren and Jean-Luc's daughter) who he sees as a sort of beautiful free spirit, very different from his witch of a wife. <BR/> He's a pretty minor character in my plans thus far but I've been thinking this whole time that he has so much potential! But there's a lot going on in the story right now that has little to do with that sad, sorry man.Penelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16697841178807127327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140199280786281854.post-27739257573437413352008-11-04T00:27:00.000-05:002008-11-04T00:27:00.000-05:00I actually can't wait to see your Alexander.

When I was playing Pleasantview, he's the only character of mine that really deviated from the maxis storyline without any effort on my part, so I'm interested to see how he turned out for you. <BR/><BR/>I checked his family tree--I laughed so hard when I found out he's a gynecologist :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140199280786281854.post-6703945548143840522008-11-03T19:30:00.000-05:002008-11-03T19:30:00.000-05:00Interesting that you should mention that.

Alexander is actually the only one of Mortimer's children that knows nothing about his research.<BR/><BR/>We'll probably see Alexander once the Lothario cocktail party is under way (currently scheduled as chapters 33-37) but he won't get a lot of air time. We'll be mostly following around the younger set (Ian, Laurie, Enoch, Adelaide, Sabina and Enoch's fiance, Madeline). <BR/><BR/>Jack is indeed awesome. :DPenelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16697841178807127327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140199280786281854.post-58895650572589549482008-11-03T19:03:00.000-05:002008-11-03T19:03:00.000-05:00Mortimer's certainly interesting.

But I think I'll be able to accomplish that with make-up for the next time he comes by to spook the bejesus out of people. <BR/><BR/>And who knows? The story might end up making more sense by reading the more recent chapters first because then the little details from the older chapters will be fresher in your mind. :)Penelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16697841178807127327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140199280786281854.post-23922871928718624912008-11-03T16:29:00.000-05:002008-11-03T16:29:00.000-05:00Okay, I can't help myself!
