crossover_chick: Doc in goggles and holding a big old plug with the words "feeling sparky..." (BTTF: feeling sparky/creative)
1. Clean my room -- Done! Got the sheets changed and all the dusting done before lunch, then swiffering and vacuuming after lunch. Sorted that out for another fortnight!

2. Make Valicetines (plus my one Vemiliciatine idea) -- ALMOST done! I have three Valicetines made from recent Sims screenshots sorted and ready to go on Friday. The Vemilicia thing, though, is actually more like a little photocomic and needs to be set up, so I didn't get to it today. Plan to figure it out tomorrow! I don't think it'll take LONG, but given all the other stuff I was trying to get to, plus distractions. . . On the plus side, though, I did start working on that ship meme I yoinked from a tumblr friend that I've been meaning to put up for ages! And Valentine's WOULD be the best day for it. . .

3. Play some Fallout 4 -- Done! Went ahead and saved the caravan I was tracking from the hostile robots with the help of my new missile launcher. :p The sole survivor of the attack was a robot named Ada, who told me that the robots attacking her and her friends are apparently the creations of the Mechanist, enforcing his version of law and order on the Commonwealth. Ada asked for Victor's help in tracking the guy down and stopping him to stop his robots (and probably get revenge, but because Victor still has pretty shit charisma, I didn't ask), and he agreed. So we've switched companions and quests for the time being, with Piper waiting for Victor back at Sanctuary Hills for when I get back to the Nick stuff. So far, in our attempts to get to the General Atomics factory where the Mechanist was apparently originally holed up, we have been jumped by raiders at what remains of South Boston High, and killed a bunch of Super Mutants who were camped in the Gwinnett Restaurant. I have picked up tons of goodies, so Ada and I are currently back in Sanctuary so I can do some upgrades and drop off some junk. :) Also, I can apparently make robots now, though I don't know if and when I will. *shrug* Still, nice to have it as an option, I suppose. So that was fun!

4. Try and wipe out at least the GrayStillPlays or the CallMeKevin in my Watch Later queue (Preferably I'd like to do BOTH, but I don't know how much time I'll be spending away from the computer thanks to the "cleaning room"/"new puzzle" combination, so. . .) -- Like with list item #2, I almost completed this one -- I'm one video short of watching all my GrayStillPlays. As mentioned, I did spend a fair amount of time away from my computer (in fact, we finished the puzzle today! Fastest one we've ever done!), and ended up not doing anything YouTubey until the evening, and since I had other stuff I had to do. . . I knocked out four, though!

A) Father And Sins, one of those games with meters you have to balance -- the conceit of this one being you're a priest taking confessions, and have to decide whether to absolve or condemn people. Had an interesting mix of relatively normal stuff, pretty super weird stuff, and celebrity cameos from Joan of Arc and Johnny from The Room. Gray managed to get game overs from both not getting enough money and getting too much money, and from being too lenient with violent people. It's GRAY, what do you expect? XD

B) Chinese Parents, a game I actually saw first on Kevin's channel! You are a Chinese child, and you must live your life well in order to please your very demanding parents and be successful in life. Or, if you're Gray, you max out your "mind shadow," have your character snap, and become a homeless vagabond at age 13. XD Life is stress and then you die!

C) Alt Life comes back, with Gray exploiting a glitch in the game (where, if you die, you can just close and reopen it and the game will forget it killed your current character) to earn over a BILLION dollars as a porn director. Also have many girlfriends, one daughter who died at 69, flip SO MANY mansions, and eventually die at the age of 125. XD It was pretty amazing.

D) New Life also comes back, with a semi-mystical rip off of a horror film where you get hypnotized into sex slavery if you're not careful.

Gray was not careful. XD Gray was not careful a NUMBER of times, honestly, ranging from getting both himself and a friend sold and dying of exhaustion two years later; to just plain old dying alone a couple of times; to managing to escape but leaving behind almost all of the rest of the victims to die horribly. Happiest ending by Gray standards! XD

5. Post the second-to-last chapter of "Scenes From Secundus" -- Done! Have a story about Victor, Doc, and Marty briefly venture into the creepiest, clowniest hallway ever. XD This is actually the last non-Drabble-Thursday Charloft prompt I did, but I decided to switch it with the penultimate one because the penultimate one is a cuter note to leave "Scenes From Secundus" on before I go back to posting the Official Sequel.

So yeah, not bad if I do say so -- fully completed three things on the list, partly completed two others! And it was a Saturday with nobody screaming, no me shitting myself, and generally not much to upset me. I even got to have spinach pies for supper, and a hot chocolate with a marshmallow dunker for dessert. :) I shall chalk this up as a win!

Okay, time to clear out comments and keep an eye on the RP thing. To-do list for tomorrow:

1. Watch the remaining GrayStillPlays video and the Plumbella videos I have in my Watch Later -- ideally, I will also get to the CallMeKevin stuff.

2. Play Sims 4 -- Emma now needs to age up as she's been a kid long enough (I'm planning a movie theater party and her first "adult" aspiration to be from the Nature category).

3. Do the Vemilicia photo shoot and get that sorted, and finish the ship meme so I'm ready for Friday.

4. Write some more on "Secundus 2."

5. Fit in a workout video at some point.

I imagine I should be able to get most, if not all, of that done. :D In the meantime, stuff and things. Night all!
