This Needs a Title

Thank you ILovetheSims7 for gifting us the Spiky and Suave hairstyle. :) SS and I appreciate it! :D

My laptop cooler broke… and my laptop already shut down from the heat twice last night. :/

This weekend, I don’t have as much homework as I always do. I have to do some vocab logs, and type up an introduction paragraph and body paragraphs… so maybe I could get more Simming done today?

I’m probably going to have to catch up with the Total Drama World Tour finale online this weekend, because I have to study for 3 quizzes Monday night. :/ And I’m worried that there will be an alternate ending, because the Total Drama people have alternate endings for different countries. So… reruns ftw?

I’m really impressed by the new Sims patch… you know, after spending like 4 days trying to fix it. I like the new half wall features, and making groups and stuff. It’s like buying Late Night without actually buying it!

I have to go back to gym this week. D: I don’t hate it, but it sucks in winter because the cardio day stuff is all gross indoor exercises. Like, the class is divided into freshmen boys, freshmen girls, sophomore boys, and sophomore girls. Then, there’s like 4 exercises: Jogging, jump roping, steps, and situps. And usually, the group before me sweats in the sit up place… so ew. I’d rather run outside. Oh, and my classes are really far away from the gym, so I’m probably going to be late a lot. And they already let us out late at gym… so yeah. Oh, and my hair gets ruined too, but that’s a minor issue. :P

I hate how Nickelodeon keeps on having all these random one hour specials and calling them movies. Now, like 60% of iCarly episodes are advertised as movies or specials.

Oh yeah. Last week, I went to Old Navy and they had a promotional decoration/sign thing that said ‘WOO HOO!!!!!!’. I was laughing. :P

Quick Post

Aw, my weekend is almost over. D: But…

• Happy (belated) birthday AE! I didn’t really have a lot of time to go online today because I had to read Misery(And ohmygosh is that Anne Wilkes lady a creep or what?). I hope your day went great. :) I remember before I got The Sims 3, SS and I use to play Sims 2 Pets for the Wii. It was alright, but it got boring quickly. :P I hope your console game stays fun longer.
• I think network executives hate me. I’ve noticed the main times I can watch TV, Friday afternoon until Sunday night, all of my favorite shows are on. At this moment, Roseanne, How I Met Your Mother, and The Nanny are all on. But I don’t know what to watch! D: HiMyM is on some local channel at like 7, and I’ve seen like at least 3/4ths of The Nanny episodes, so that should make things a bit easier, but eh.
• Total Drama World Tour. I honestly think that the producers love Courtney’s voice actress a little too much. She’s treated as some high powered goddess in the show, and nobody calls her out for her attitude, and when they do, they will receive hell. I’ve rewatched the first 7 or 8 episodes of Action online, and so far, it's alright. I’m worried for Courtney’s return. *Shutters* And ugh, the season is almost over in the US. That means I’ll have to wait until summer, at least, for the new (short!) season. But Canada ends their season in February, so…? Teletoon better get their act together. :P

Oh, and it’s Daylight Savings Time… sometime today. So go change your clocks and stuff. :P

A Post?! On a Thursday Afternoon!?!

Helllloooooo everyone. I have no school today and tomorrow, because of a… teacher’s convention, I think? Anyway, I finally get to sleep in a little longer. :) I played Sims a lot yesterday, but sadly, I have homework to do in *counts* 4 or 5 classes? Yikes. So, ugh, I guess that evens things out. I knew this weekend was too good to be true. I have to study for a driver’s ed test, read Misery, do a Spanish worksheet, do 80 vocabulary flash cards and stuff for SAT prep, and (Optional) biology homework.

After the Sims patch, my game started to… get better!?! It’s no longer extremely dark, and it didn’t crash at all yesterday! I haven’t gone into CAS yet, so the sliders and sign features should be interesting. The only thing I want now is a patch/mod/whatever for more than 8 Sims per household. I wouldn’t go overboard, but just one or two more Sims in the house. The 8 Sim limit is so restricting. :/

[Political rant time. If you feel you might get offended, you know where the ‘close tab button’ is.]

And with this week’s election? My thoughts? Um, why were all the Republicans I know, online and on TV, saying ‘Yes, we won!’, not ‘Yes! We’re gonna fix the country!’? I mean, isn’t politics about fixing countries, not winning elections? And really? Are Republicans really saving us? Carl(?) Paladino from New York made openly homophobic statements, Sharron Angle made a racist commercial targeting minorities, and so on, yet they’re saving us? How is going backwards culturally going to get us out of this recession? I understand politics isn’t about abortion, the death penalty and gay marriage, but why do I see Republicans use those in their campaigns? What’s next? No civil or women’s rights because it’s ‘anti family’? Ugh. This is 2010, people. The fact that there was controversy over a children show’s puppet’s sexuality, or someone can’t marry who they want shows how sad our world is becoming. Especially if there are people in 3rd world countries dying because of natural disasters, food shortages, diseases, and droughts, and America only cares about 1 election? Yes, elections are important, but in two months, people will forget about the elections, but in two months, more people will die from diseases and disasters, and guess what? They can’t come back.

Yes, my main news source in Joy Behar. Why do you ask? :P

Awwww

Lily Allen has some sad news. She had a miscarriage this week. 6 months into her pregnancy. For the second time. :( I feel horrible for her, because she was so excited to be a mother and have kids.

And on Twitter a few months ago, she commented that she didn’t know who Justin Bieber was, and thought his voice was a girl singing, or something, and guess what angry Bieber fans wrote? ' Lily Allen lost her baby. This is the second time? LMFAO hahaa. i have no respect that the bitch. she dissed Justin bieber.' Alright JB fans, millions of people hate Justin Bieber, but you only hate Lily because she’s famous? A TWITTER INSULT IS NOT THE SAME AS LOSING A CHILD FOR THE SECOND TIME. This is why I hate Justin Bieber. Not because of the somewhat catchy music, or my new unrealistic hair expectations, but because of what kind of behavior he encourages. What is this world coming to? I understand Lily might be a tad grumpy sometimes, but aren’t we all? Is it her fault that she just has a famous Twitter account?

My thoughts and prayers go out to Lily and her family at this sad time for her.

Thank You VIDKID!

Thanks for helping SS and me with the patch issue. Our game works now! :D

No More Timbersons :(

Blah. After trying everything, SS and I have reached a new decision: Reinstall TS3? That would mean the Timbersons would be gone, but we have their Sims saved… so yeah. But the house and family tree and portraits and essentially everything would be gone. :( We’re on the start of generation 9, so I’d be upset if everything from February would be gone. :( Oh, and the custom content. I’d honestly freak out if we had to go all over MS3B trying to find everything. But we made a backup… so would that work?

Our computer says it’s version 1.17.6, and the Ambitions number is up to date, too, so I honestly don’t know the problem. :/

There Needs to be a…

Blog with game help, patch links, and what the EA customer service section should be. Like MySims3Blog with techie people. :P Seriously, it’s been two days and I haven’t been able to play the Sims since Friday night! Guess who also had little homework this weekend? –_- I’ve been seeing that stupid racially ambiguous girl in the blue dress on my launcher for two days now. EA should let me download a patch even if I already have it. They’re telling me the game is updated, but the base game is incompatible with everything else? Why? Seriously, patch or not, my game was ruined. Friday night, the game crashed because we didn’t have the patch, and now, with or without the patch, it’s still not working! [/furious]

Oh, and SS and I made some Halloween themed Sims for today. I’d post/make more, but EA is being stupid and I can’t play. :( The link is on our other blog, over here. So Happy Halloween! :)
