It’s been a few days again, hasn’t it?
I think of all these great things to blog about when I’m not next to a computer, but when I am sitting here I just don’t have the energy to write… but, I promised I would blog today, so here it is for what its worth.
First off… I love Sims 2. Yesterday I made a trip and picked up some of my previously purchased expansion packs. Today I uninstalled and then reinstalled all the games except for Seasons which I only have the one disc for. As soon as I find the disc and the “code’ I’ll install that one too and I will be the proud owner of ALL the expansion packs for Sims 2.
The big change is that I now have the Nightlife Expansion which I did not have before. It was a gift… (Thank you cute stuff) and I have been dying trying to figure out how to get it installed when I had games installed that I didn’t have discs for and so on and so forth.
With the acquisition of 90% of the missing discs and game books last night, I felt confident that what I was going to lose with Seasons was acceptable in the addition of Night Life. I also lost my saved game, which is OK. It was time to start again anyways… yes, I even get tired of the little computer generated people that I am able to control down to the most infintisemal degree… Don’t try and figure it out.
But, although they have been lost forever from my hard drive, let me take one minute to try and record their short lived lives here. First… there was this family, the Ottomas. They were a large family. There was a husband and wife, the husband’s mother and seven children, the oldest child was David. There were also twin boys, whose names I forget already, who seem to have been sired by a dog, if the family tree tells the truth. I have yet to figure out how THAT happened.
David moved out on his own as soon as he could. He successfully owned and ran a pottery shop and a bookstore and reached the top of his field, a renowned Mad Scientist. One night however, he was abducted by aliens. A while after returning from his late night adventure, he had a son, whom we named Mork. David raised up Mork to be a lover of all things natural.. and well… unnatural as well. When I left David to his retirement he was a very good warlock and lived on a beautiful property with over twenty apple trees which were by far his favorite of the fruit trees and he talked with them every day.
Mork was the first in the family to go to college. He graduated with Honors with a Biology degree and started a life in the medical field. Mork, with his pale green skin also loved to tinker around with his robots. After he married Jenny, they were sad to learn that they could not have children and so they adopted Brenda. Soon thereafter Mork was discovered to be having an affair with his Robot “Mindy” and Jenny left, leaving Brenda behind to deal with her dad who was building more and more robots. #002, Mork’s first male robot he built then ran off with Mindy to live their own life free from human control. Two of Mork’s cats also left with #002 and Mindy. Meanwhile, #003 became a mother to Brenda, but never developed the same “friendship” that Mork had with his first love, Mindy.
When Brenda moved out from her adoptive father’s home she went off to Sim State University on a Sim Scholars Scholarship and also graduated With Honors, but with a degree in Drama. This combined with her lifetime want to be a Ballet Dancer put her into the upper levels of a career in the Arts. She worked her butt off but did achieve world fame as a Ballet dancer and we all couldnt be more proud. In her first apartment after college she met a nice man named Rodney Jung whom she quickly bewitched with her dancer’s physique and they were married soon after meeting.
They moved into a new home that Brenda financed with her career. It was a beautiful home that sprawled over their urban lot located conveniently next to Pepe’s Pet Store. Brenda received her favorite kitten from Mork when she finished college, a beautiful Absynnian out of Jorge and Alegra, and her love for cats grew with her own home. Ch Jorge x Alegra, grew into a beautiful cat and became a great mother after she met Oscar. They had two kittens; Chuckles & Jessie’s Girl, whom both parents doted on continually.
After Brenda achieved the top of her career she also thought she would take time to enjoy family life, so as Rodney worked up the Medical career towards Chief of Staff, Brenda stayed home and cared for their adopted son, Clarence. Clarence grew up quickly, being adopted as a child and headed off to college. Brenda then had a natural child with Rodney, Bruce Wayne… and they then went on to adopt two more children and have another of their own. Alladin was aopted and just a tad younger than Bruce Wayne. Lucy was their natural child and then they adopted Gabriela, most beloved of her mother!
Bruce Wayne had just moved to college when I stopped playing last night. So, with the loss of that family, I thought I would start up the new family with Bruce Wayne, this time I created him a little bit more closely to the actual Mr. Wayne, and although he wants to be in the Athletic career, is there really anything Mr. Wayne can’t achieve? Already he’s been out on a date, with Kittie no less (Completely by chance, it was a blind date. I know. Can you believe the coincidence?) and they hit it off immediately, but, Mr. Wayne is not one to be bogged down, so, he’s just going to keep his relationship with the ladies on the side for now.
*** Leaving GEEK mode***
Uh huh, that’s right. I am hopelessly addicted to this game.
I’m sure I’ve done other things in the last 5 days… hmmm….
Last night I went to one of my favorite Chinese restaurants, Cathay Garden, and it did not disappoint. The Fragrant Beef is supreme if you ever get the chance.
I also shoveled, which should not be news, I know, but it was awesome. It was in good company and enjoyable, mostly because I didn’t have to do it and it just meant it got done all the faster. It snowed again since then, and is supposed to snow a little bit more, thankfully meaning that it has to warm up from this negative ten degrees and more crud!!! Seriously!!! UGH!!!
Last night I watched the film “Batman: Gotham Knight”. I highly recommend it to any animation or DC fans. I won’t give it away to anyone that hasn’t seen it, but it really was an expertly crafted film. It had more depth and ponder potential than most of the multi-million dollar big screen films being churned out today. Says something about those that love their subject and their medium.
I count 22.5 weeks left in this job. Yes, I need to start counting now, in order to deal with some of the mindless idiocy that my current job is able to produce in such enormous numbers. I went to work today after having a few days off and I simply CANT believe how people behave! It’s such a shame.
Now, I’m not trying to put the cart before the horse, I might not get the job. It’s a reality I simply don’t want to entertain, but… as long as I don’t totally mess up the physical, or go brain dead for the test, I can’t reasonably figure out why I wouldn’t get the job. With that said… I am going to count down the days. Its a coping technique, ok!
Have a good night all… work keeps interrupting me so this is going on like two hours of trying to get this posted and my blood pressure cant take much more of the interruptions, so TTFN.
