Short and Sweet

Computer blows. In order to get rid of my previous error, I decided to system restore the computer back to before -- only to have my graphics card go NUTS again. I installed the latest drivers and did what they said to workaround it. As my Sim graphics appear unaffected, I'm leaving it like that. *deep sigh* Never should have gotten rid of the Sony.
-D: Productivity is out of the question.-
I'm sorry, I --
-M: You were CRYING over that. I think we can cut you some slack.-
-VD2: *patpat* The bad times won't last forever.-
I know. But can't they be over sooner?
-RPD: Well, Sims appeared to go well at least.-
*nodnod* True. Played Emily and her family in revison_doc -- Harriet successfully headed off to college. I'll play her moving in with Julia on Wednesday. I also dropped by Eureka to build and play a little Cyd. He got rid of the demon dogs, though not before getting them to like eating pet food. Just him and Porthos now for Allison.
-TD: What did you build? I thought you were done with downtown.-
I had an idea for a gothic-type tower. You know, sort of like Rapunzel. So I hit the octagon room feature and went to work.

It's four levels, done in stone with a octagonal roof.

I simulated a spiral staircase via placing the stairs close to each other, with the tail end of each one near the top of the next. Only the top level is furnished at the moment (the bedroom), but I have plans. Second level will be bathrooms, third kitchen and dining, fourth living room.
-TD: Interesting. Any idea who's going to live there?-
Nope, but it's available for any of Emma's non-heirs or such.
I also had an interesting moment in Twin Oaks Park. As I'm playing Emily and co, prepping for Harriet leaving and wondering why Sabastian and Emily are suddenly obsessed with stray dog Tucker, this long blond-haired guy walks by in an argyle sweater. "Oh, hey, it's Emmett!" I think. As I mouse over to greet him, though, I see the name "Adrian Lewis." I am baffled --
Until I remember Argyle Outerwear Emmett is Eureka. Twin Oaks Park has the yellow coat.

This is Adrian -- from the side/back, he looks damn like Emmett, don't you think?
-M2: Yeah, he does. Weird.-
-J2: Definitely not from the front, though.-
LOL, I know.
Anyway, off to see if I can do something that makes sure this day isn't completely wasted. Perhaps I'll put up Victor's bio on the muse page already.
-TTV: Please?-
Yeah, yeah. Let me just give it a final look-see. . .
