crossover_chickIn convenient List Form!
-->Wrote another short for "The Technicolor Phase," as I was on a roll with those. Though "short" seems like the wrong word, given how long these are getting. . .at any rate, wrote what was going to be the piano duet in this verse except Emily interrupts Victor when the tries to get it started and instead they have to use their words. Kinda sorry I missed out on the piano connection, but as this is a poly fic with Emily staying with Victor and Victoria in whatever way she can, I feel there will be other opportunities.
-->Played Sims 4 -- got Emmett safely moved into the Embers/Kosperov household! And then spent probably more time than necessary trying to figure out where to put his shit and what to sell from his old place. I COULD have just transferred Eric directly over to his house (the process for moving a Sim into a household allows for that), but Emmett had a lot of stuff I wanted to take that I couldn't get into his personal inventory for some reason, so I ended up leaving Eric in the family for now to get all of Emmett's furnishings transferred to the new place. Eventually I got everything working, but man, did it take a while. *nods* But ah well, Emmett is now happily living with his girlfriend on a lot with TONS of room for a rocket and other sciencey stuff, and Eric has an empty house waiting for him in the future. Good times.
-->Went out with Mom to practice my backing up skills, which didn't go as well as planned. First location we tried was the Stop & Shop parking lot, but there were just too many people there coming in and out and cutting through the parking spaces. Then we found an empty lot by a medical imaging center, but it was really small and didn't allow a lot of room to maneuver. I ended up temporarily mucking up the power steering with too many "stop and turn the wheel" actions because I was trying to avoid going backwards too fast and hit the curbs. New plan is to go up to Lincoln Mall's parking lot tomorrow and get some practice in there, with more room to breathe.
-->Watched Helloween's latest Darkwood sets -- poor man got mauled a few times (just going out his front door proved to be super dangerous one set! He finally gets to craft some armor and it's almost immediately wrecked), but he's gotten himself a hunting rifle, tracked down the mysterious Doctor who stole his character's "escape this bullshit key," and survived a few nights with chompers and dogs constantly breaking his barricades. Good stuff -- he's probably at his funniest when he's playing a game he doesn't care for, but it's satisfying in a different way to see him tackle a game he truly enjoys.
-->Watched the latest episode of "Halloween Wars" -- happily, the most annoying "face of the team" got sent home today for making a pretty damn awful display. Seeing some actually nice stuff from the top two teams, though -- gives me hope that this series can be good again. Just keep up the quality, you two!
-->Got ValiceMultiverse queue done, w00~ Not too many replies, thankfully. Otherwise I would have been up all night.
So yeah -- I guess I got a fair amount done today, but DAMN if each didn't take up more time than I'd like. And I'm still stressing out about the driver's test. . .gotta take this week and get everything for it settled once and for all. Right now, I have to go to bed and see about getting some sleep. *deep breath* Night all!
