Very Unproductive Saturday

[crossover_chick]

Mostly down to two major factors:

1) I made the mistake of going on TV Tropes and getting REALLY sucked into its Twilight Zone (original series) section, then getting sucked into the pages on "The Reason You Suck" speeches. This was an on and off thing for most of the day -- I managed to tear myself away a few times, but it wasn't until this evening that I started seriously doing other stuff.

2) When I finally started actually trying to get said some stuff done, the Internet went out. AGAIN. I'm TRYING to give my provider the benefit of the doubt, as we ended up having some VERY high winds today, but -- we seem to be suffering outages of some shape or form REALLY FUCKING OFTEN lately. I don't know if it's them, if it's our router/modem dealie being a little bastard, or what. All I know is that I'm sick of it, but since the only other internet provider around here, Verizon, is also known for being a little bitch (we found this out when we considered switching providers after moving -- I believe they're more expensive for slower internet) -- what can we do? *huff* Really annoying.

I did, against all odds, manage to get a few things done:

-->My usual room clean

-->Editing on the final Valice Shipping Week short (though it's technically a Vemilicia one -- but hey, it's my week and my fanfics, and I said that was okay :p)

-->Catching up on a few of my YouTube videos:

1) Helloween finishing up Earthworm Jim, full of the usual frustration over the unfair difficulty and sadness over his nostalgia filter being thoroughly wrecked (the game was a childhood favorite of his, apparently). At least he managed to complete the game despite it all.

2) Helloween showing off the new Agony Unrated, an updated version of Agony with new playing modes and some better graphics. Which, considering this is a game set in a very visceral, disturbing version of Hell akin to Queensland in the Alice games. . .kudos to the designers for staying very true to their vision, but their vision is likely to give me nightmares, so I think I'll be skipping any further videos he makes on it. *shudder*

3) Atop The Fourth Wall's Halloween episode -- which, sort of amusingly, was a comic adaptation of the third Hellraiser movie, meaning it was the perfect follow-up to #2. Turned out to be not that bad! I mean, it was a fairly dumb adaptation of a fairly dumb movie, but it actually improved upon its source material a bit, leaving Linkara impressed. The storyline was also wrapped up nicely -- the man behind the man has been defeated, and in a pretty clever way, and it ended on a very positive note of looking forward to the next adventure. :) Good stuff.

-->And, once the internet went out, I realized this was a good opportunity to get caught up on my Sims pictures again, so I prepped those (another three-part update)

So yeah, not a complete wash-out of a day (I've had those -- again, mostly due to TV Tropes), but I really wish I'd been able to accomplish a bit more. Though, on the other hand, if I'm going to have a day like this, might as well be in the middle of a four-day weekend, right? *shrug* Still, would have been nice for the internet to just STAY ON when I finally got in the brainspace to do things. . . We'll see if I can make anything better of my Sunday. Do get the extra hour from "fall back" tonight. . . Night all!

Don't feel bad. I slept until almost 2 in the afternoon and started to do cleaning and stuff but we had to order lunch so I sat on the computer modding the shit out of Stardew Valley and wound up playing that until now. It's almost 1:30am as I type this. I'll have a LOT of adulting (i.e. dishes, laundry) to do tomorrow later today.

LoL, oh dear. . .guessing it's a rather addictive game then? Well, at least you had fun. . .hope the adulting went better today!

I watched my phone turn from 1:59 to 1:00, lol.

Yeah, pretty much. Playing legit is nice but using the mods is like using the cheats in Sims to get what you want as soon as you can.

Mostly. I did food shopping, dishes, laundry...the only thing I didn't do was clean up after dinner. That I can do tonight. Maybe. Possibly. :p

[crossover_chick]

I watched it on my iPad (one last browse of the net before going to bed -- I'm a bad Vicky). :p

Heh, I see -- yeah, I can understand that. I prefer playing Sims mostly legit, but I've used good old "rosebud" in my past, I won't lie. :p

*snork* Well, hey, you did most of the important stuff. Clean clothes and food on the table are arguably higher in priority than scrubbing the kitchen afterward.

I'd wondered :)

Yeah, sorry, it lasted just long enough to frustrate the heck out of me and destroy any muse I had for active RP stuff.
