Not A Very Manic Monday

crossover_chickWe had a few little things here and there -- donor phone calls, adjustments to make, things like that -- but overall it was a pretty decent Monday. I kept busy, the time went by, I got in a lunchtime walk because the weather was actually nice enough. . . Can't complain! Hoping the trend continues for what's left of the week -- we also got official confirmation of an early release Wednesday, so that'll be nice.
Evening's been good too, if a little distracted/twitchy -- moving into THAT part of my PMS. I know the red curse is due to hit sometime this week, based on what happened on Halloween, so I'm keeping an eye out for it. Until then, I gotta deal with feeling like I want to run but I have no destination. Bodies are fuuuuuun~
Anyway, sum-up of the important bits of the night:
-->Got another page on "Londerland Bloodlines" -- almost to the end of Chapter One! Alice has gotten a new blue dress courtesy of Van the Toreador -- he and his friend Terrence the Ventrue are based on the two NPCs that take you and your sire in during a Malkavian run (they're in fact the models of the male PCs for those clans -- it varies who you see depending on which clan you pick), and she's packing up what little shit she has (mainly clothes, Lizzie's room key, Mr. Bunny, and her family picture) to prepare for entering Santa Monica. Should be able to complete it on Wednesday! Which is good, because THEN I have to seriously start thinking about Christmas fic stuff!
-->Watched some videos from a friend's YouTube account -- PlayscaleTheater. Has stuff about dolls, video games (mainly very old-school SimCity), and robo-telemarketing calls that are shockingly persistent.
-->Also had myself a little GrayStillPlays marathon:
A) More Reallives, where he tried to DESIGN the worst life he could live in the worst place he could find (Medellin, Columbia, according to Siri). It was pretty bad (lots of malnutrition, lots of being arrested by the government, lots of being fired from her job as a sex worker), but Spleens (yes, that's what he named his character) made it to 53 and escaped to Switerzland near the end thanks to some lucky loans. And was also super-happy her whole life, so -- okay then!
B) Kyle Is Famous, an absolutely ridiculous "Choose Your Own Adventure"-style game where Kyle is a famous talk show host, going to interview a famous guest, only -- well, Kyle is a weirdo, and can EAT HIS ENTIRE FRIDGE if you let him. As in THE ACTUAL KITCHEN APPLIANCE. Also he will go to work in skunk pasties if you tell him to. Don't ask. Gray was cracking up laughing the whole time because of how BIZARRE the game is. I'm really hoping for another episode to show off more of the endings!
C) Welcome To Earth, another ridiculous game where you have to accept or deny various aliens' requests to enter Earth. So very slightly like Papers Please, only it's sci-fi and all the graphics are done in MS Paint. Also there are NO HAPPY ENDINGS. Gray actually TRIED to get an ending that didn't involve everyone dying horribly, against his instincts, and couldn't find one. Mark of a quality game, folks! XD
D) Nirvana, a game about living multiple lives and trying to keep your health, mood, social, and money all in balance. If you go too low in any of these attributes, you will die an interesting death -- but if you go too HIGH, you will also die an interesting death, as Gray discovered when one of his lives died at five from being too excited to sleep. XD Also the parents tend to be kind of assholes, and doing even the slightest wrong thing has some very painful consequences. I hope he plays it again just so I can see more of the ways one can die. XD
-->Got all my pictures for my Sims update for the week sorted -- however, I find myself having a few issues actually getting them in the queue. *grumbles* Damn "upload errors. . ." I've got two, though only the first one has the pictures in the right order and some proper text. Dunno if I'll have time to fix up the second before bed, but -- it's something. I'll get it sorted tomorrow.
And now I have to finish off all the comments in my inbox and head to bed. Tomorrow's supposed to be pretty nice, weather-wise -- hopefully it is the same work-wise. Night all!
