"What fresh hell is this?!" - Dorothy Parker

[frostingpink]

Sorry for not posting much the past couple of weeks. I've been confused/depressed (mental illness style) and I've finally figured out tonight that if I'm busy, I don't become depressed or confused and actually act like a real mutated-human* being! Yay!

Anyway, I have read some "new" fantasy fiction. It's a compilation of short stories by this gal Meredith Pierce.** The stories all have some sort of water theme with them, like snow or ice or water or whatever. I really enjoyed the first two stories and I'm now on the third, Icerose.

I finally installed Sims 3 again the other day. And again, I haven't played it yet. Do any of you play the Sims games? I used to have some of the Nintendo DS ones like Sims Kingdom and Sims Castaway(this one was pretty cool).

It's funny...I usually read more than book at a time. This session is:

• Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (light reading)
• The Portable Dorothy Parker (love, love this gal's work!)
• Miss Emily ( a novel about Emily Dickinson and her maid Ada...it is Ada right?)
• Waters Luminous and Deep (my water book)

I need to get started reading my National Geographics. It automatically reissued itself this month and I already have over 20 issues to read. I've only complete two, the dolphin and Pluto issues. I also meant to go back and look at the foldout graphs about the dolphins and never did. .... It's been well over a year and a half.....  >_<

Anyway, I'm going to get off now. I'm getting sleepy, but I'm not sleepy. I think I'll blame the lullaby of Cllickey operating on the letter 'C', which sounds like an old typewriter.***

**The author's name makes me think of that classic movie Mildred Pierce. Love it!

I hope you're feeling at least a little better. Depression sucks.

I have Sims 2, 3, and 4. I think that, so far, I like Sims 3 the best... but 4 is growing on me. I still can't marathon-play it like I used to, though.

I'm doing much better, thank-you! Happy as a lark. ^_^

I've only played Sims 2. I did try to play Sims 1 once. It left me wanting more as far as graphics go.

I marathon-played Sims2 like crazy for a couple of years, so much so that I gave it away when I was tired of it! But I did find Sims3 in some garbage of some neighbors who had moved,though. I love free stuff, don't you? XD

I played Sims 1 on GameCube a looong time ago. Safe to say it was my first Sims game and my brother and I would marathon-play it together for hours and hours after it first came out. Good times.
