Saturday Shot To Shit

[crossover_chick]

It started fine -- woke up about 10:30, had breakfast, played my games, got my bus pass with Dad (along with some granola bars for me and Chips Ahoy for him), then did a Helloween marathon -- next two sets of Fatal Frame and the end of Lady Five's chapter of the Drakenguard 3 DLC. And then I started just mucking around, figuring I had a few minutes until I should put up my Song Saturday and get to my writing --

And then we got an e-mail from our internet service provider about a possible compromising of our computer.

Cue the day going straight down the tubes as Mom and Dad verified this was a real thing, and Dad having a fit over the idea that we might have been infected with something (because there's a looot of sensitive info on his computer). We ended up needing to run a special scan to make sure there wasn't anything wrong, which lost me an hour, and after that. . .well, any productive thoughts I had were pretty much wiped. I got some writing done, but just a random story scene that I wanted to do, and RP was completely out of the question. I did fit in wrapping up BTTF: The Game -- though it took longer than I expected, leading to a late shower and -- yeah, that pretty much killed the last RP thoughts I had. Though I can't say I regret it -- that game remains a lot of fun, even when it's doing the stupid stuttery thing. The ending is still a thing of joy. XD "You gotta help me save Jennifer and our twelve kids!" I still love that. . .

Other nice thing of the day: Sketches for Nebbychan's Cinderella (CinderVictor?) AU! I love all those outfits for everybody. . .especially Victor in his raggedy Ball garb. What can I say, I have a thing for clothing damage. . . At any rate, it looks fun as all get out. :)

All right, I promised a friend I'd do the chat thing tonight, so I'd best get off. Night all! Got a busy Sunday ahead of me tomorrow. . .

Sorry about your day, but I figured I'd give you a quick fyi that when you trade your Roses for dragons they go straight into the Aura Habitat (providing you got that first) and not into the Nursery. Without the Habitat I assume they'd go into Hibernation.

I wasted 3 gems finding that out (Serenity came with Steve, btw, so renamed Usagi) but I got a few back with the "Tell your friends!" Facebook and Twitter gems. Still I thought I'd tell you.

It wasn't so bad, really, just Dad went nuts over the idea of us having a virus, and it's never fun to listen to him rant. (And he would have been right if there WAS an infection, since his business is online. . .) And is that so? How curious. Kind of a mixed blessing -- no slots taken up in the nursery, but no extra roses from hatching the eggs. Meh.

Thanks for the head's up -- I was always planning on getting the Aura habitat first, so I shouldn't have any problems.

Yeep! Computer scares are never fun.

And is it wrong that the first thought in my mind when I got to the part about twelve kids was "Ouch!" (I'd really hope there's some adoption involved, because that's actually not healthy and all that...)

Here's hoping that was just a temporary downswing and things are better for you soon. :)

*facepalm* And the above is me. I was working on timeline some more and forgot to switch journals.

*laugh* Yeah, I figured. . .and it wasn't, especially when your father is prone to some epic ranting whenever he gets upset. Not that he didn't have a reason to worry, since his business (selling books) is an online one. . .but we're in the clear, so yay.

I would IMAGINE, but given this was just one bit of goofiness in an ending made of goofy (there's THREE future Martys all trying to convince Doc and Marty that they're the 'real' one, and this is AFTER you learn that the two main villains of the game, who previously hated each other, fell in love in jail and ended up getting married), I wouldn't take it too seriously. :P

Yeah, today's been better -- though I still have a bunch of stuff to catch up on. . .working on it, though!
