*Thinkin'*

-TD: About Open For Business?-
-D: About fan fiction?-
-OD: About fan art?-
-MDC: About how hot your Gilgamesh is?-
Yes, yes, yes, and wasn't before but am now.
-DW: I think Agatha would have some issues with your wording there, MDC.-
-MDC: She's possessed, she won't care right now. Personally, I wanna see more explosions in this series! Make things go splody!-
Why the heck are you such a pyromaniac?
-MDC: Fire fun.-
-TD: And you people worry about me?-
-VD: You're around more often than he is. MiniDamosCrawler is generally content to stay in his room with his shiny things.-
-MDC: She doesn't write enough other fandom stuff, that's why.-
Well, I am working on "BTTX-2," if it helps.
-MDC: I guess so. *bimfs away*-
I'm glad to see you've stopped trying to eat him, DocWolf.
-DW: Meh. It just seems like too much of a bother now. Besides, plot bunnies taste better.-
*patpats him* Good DocWolf.
-D: As regarding our previous questions. . . .-
I did make fan fiction progress -- I managed to whip the first chapter of "Liquid Chocolate" into a postable form, and I'm starting on Chapter 4 and Gypsy. I also did some more on "Boy Genius," wrote on "Dusky Past," did some edits on "V.D.," and like I said, currently working on "BTTX-2."
-VD2: Hey, that's not too bad.-
Thanks. I even put the revised dialogue from "Liquid Chocolate" into "World of Darkness."
-VD: We need you to sleep late more often, you seem to become more productive.-
Heh, yeah. But as long as I have a job, not going to happen.
-OD: How about some fan art?-
I'll see about doing some "Hoverboards" sketching later. *tentacles pokepoke* I said later, darn it.
-TD: I suppose it's a given you'd be thinking of Open For Business. Get anything done as regards to backups?-
Some. I think it's safe to say that I won't be able to get the recordable DVDs to work in my computer. Which sucks, as my Sims 2 folder is 877 MB big. I can't even just do Neighborhoods anymore, that's 721 MB. I was able to back up My Music, My Pictures, My Ebooks and the current stories I'm working on, however.
-D: You know, I was just thinking -- a lot of that space in Neighborhoods is probably taken up by storytelling folders.-
I know, but I LIKE having those pictures on-hand!
-M: Wait, aren't they all on Imageshack? Or on your website?-
. . . Well, Imageshack doesn't always work -- my website does have all of the early ones, though, I'm sure. Hmmmmmm.
-VM: It's something to consider, at any rate, right?-
-VD2: Precisely. If it comes down to it, dump a lot of the early pictures.-
I dunno -- I LIKE college!You. . . .
-D: Keep it in mind anyway.-
-OD: *tentacles chatter* The kids just came up with an idea -- would you be able to copy the Storytelling folders to a separate CD, then start deleting?-
. . . I have to bring you guys my problems more often.
-TD: *salute* Just doing our jobs, ma'am. How about the My Documents Move, are you still considering that?-
To a degree, yes. I'm also wondering if, as long as I made sure it went into a different directory, I could install Open for Business on D. After all, that IS where I installed the original Sims.
-E: That could be dangerous though -- doesn't everything say that it won't work unless you install it to a different directory?-
Yes -- but looking in my C drive, both University and Nightlife are in Program Files/EA Games/Sims 2. They just have their own little folders. I have program files on D as well, I think I could get away with it. Might ask before trying anything, though.
-H: Caution is best.-
Sheez, never thought I'd hear YOU say that.
-H: Hey, I take plenty of precautions!-

revison_doc updates -- Parkers, Mortes, and Shaws. Jennifer has the distinction of being my first Sim to visit Mage's Light Pool.
-J: Cool. How come, though?-
Mostly because, despite all my squawking about the matter, I generally do keep Sims confined to the house. I rarely send out for pure pleasure trips -- it's almost always about purchasing groceries.
-M: You send Sims out on dates pretty often.-
Yeah, but even that has a goal. Sims don't go out just to go out. Another problem is that Mage's Light Pool is a bit of an outdoor gym, and I prefer doing that sort of thing at home.
-D: Yes, but you're going to HAVE to do some of that stuff on community lots with Open For Business, right?-
Not necessarily, but you've got a point. Especially what with space issues -- I'm starting to think that the Von Braun lot is just too thin for major renovation. But this does mean I might be able to use a cool store name for you.
-OD: Oh? Do tell?-
anonymoose_au came up with it yesterday, actually. We were talking online, and I mentioned TeenDoc building his own brand of dingbots. Moose called them "docbots," and I thought, "Hey! DocBots would be a great store name!" :)
-VuM: *laugh* It's Doc all right. Although the full name should be "DocBots: A subsid-uary of E. Brown Enterprises."
*giggle* Yeah, I'll have to call the Hill Valley Doc's shop "E. Brown Enterprises." This is gonna be fun. :)
-DW: I get the feeling March is going to turn you into a spendthrift. The new Girl Genius collection comes out later that month, doesn't it?-
It does indeed. :D Hopefully it'll be at Borders so I can use my gift cards. And that reminds me, I have to get "Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Wererabbit" too. Probably get it at FYE if possible and use up the last of my card for there.
And now off to make that last revison_doc update, and perhaps make a post about whether I can leave my downloaded clothes in Downloads when I get and install. Dun want Gilgamesh to be naked.
. . .
Well, I DO, but you know what I mean.
