And now.. for something positive.
Sep. 2nd, 2004 01:03 pmmy life isn't all frustrations and annoyances. Honestly. Really.
Two nights ago, Kristen and I needed to go to Target. Long story short, Kristen is leaving soon and we both agreed I should start looking for things to replace things she brought into the household (like a baking pan) that I didn't have yet.
We both needed a few other things as well.
Well, we got there and my list for this trip were small.. I'd price vacuums (mine is old and doesn't pick up cat litter too well), Crock pots, get Hangars, Get a Baking Pan, also look into a cat lazer since mine was dead.
Long story short, we price Crock Pots and they weren't half as bad as we thought. I could buy a 4 qt. crock pot at $20 or $25, but for $30, we could get a 6 qt. crock pot, one big enough for the both of us.
So, after thinking about it, we got our first household thingamabob together :)
Probably not as big a deal as it seemed at the time. We've bought things together before: Specifically Farscape Seasons 2 and 3, but.. never a crockpot. :)
So.. it seemed big and it made me feel happy and that's that.
Time to switch lines of thought entierly.
In less than two weeks, Sims 2 will be out. I've had my eye on this game for a while now. What it LOOKS like is that it will be everything Sims was, but more. It won't have all the objects, but it will have many of the same cool concepts, such as community lots. It's in full 3D with the ability to zoom way up or zoom down to see their faces and hands (they actually have fingers instead of blockity hands and actually make faces).
Needless to say, I'm extremely excited. I've been watching most of the previews, including pc.ign.com's latest week o' Sims in which one of the PC reviewers created a house with himself, three of his coworkers and.. Jimmy. Who is Jimmy? I dunno, but he looks pretty evil, man.
Anyways, I am uberexcited about Sims2.
Also, at the end of the month, Evil Genius. They just released a demo of this game and it WAS fun and neat, though I need to play it again with ideas I've garnered from the one major website (Evilplanet.com) on what to do with all the bloody annoying people blowing up my base!!!
The game also looks ultracool. The concept is.. you are a frickin' evil genius! No white cat, sadly. And your job is to TAKE OVER THE WORLD(-orld-orld-rld-rld-ld-d-d). The mood of the theme is late 60s early 70s spy movies. You know the ones.. the ones where you interrogate the spy in the same room as the guns because he'll NEVER escape and where you have the elaborate traps such as the pool with pirahnas with lasers on their foreheads! Yes, it does remind me a little of Austin Powers, can you tell? You have two types of helpers.. the little minions and the right-hand men. The entire game has it's tongue firmly placed in it's cheek. (I've watched interrogation. Sometimes it's as "normal" as spinning the spy in his chair and then punching him. Sometimes, though, other things happen. I haven't witnessed it yet but I hearone form of interrogation is one of your minions moonwalking and otherwise acting like Jacko. You can also do interrogation in other special objects.. like a rather large mixer. Spy de Creme anyone?)
So... yeah.
That's me. How about you? :)
