A Productive Friday
Feb. 19th, 2021 11:09 pmYeah, I was surprised too -- but here, gaze upon my to-do list:
1. Clear out the Plumbella and onlyabidoang videos in my Watch Later, plus keep up on YouTube Subscriptions: Check, including an addition! This section got a little bit long, so I'll put it behind a cut --
( Eight YouTube Videos! )
2. Write up the gift fic for a tumblr friend's upcoming birthday: Check! This is my friend who RPs her own version of Victor and Alice’s daughter (Madeline) – I asked her last night if she had any requests, and she said something with Bruce Wayne, as she has a verse where he and Madeline are dating. I came up with an idea for Madeline tending Bruce after a fight and them having a bit of a chat about what he does and what her parents might think, and whipped up a rough draft this morning. I’ll let that sit for tomorrow, then revise Sunday, which will put me right on track for posting it on Tuesday, her actual birthday. :)
3. Update MC Command Center and play Sims 4 (choice of save file): Check – updated MC Command Center this morning (along with Sims 4 Studio so I had the latest version of that), reloaded my mods, then played the game itself shortly after lunch! Spent a couple of hours with my Victor and Alice in what I’ve now renamed “A Chill Save” – their university term has officially started, so most of their time was spent either going to class or completing homework. Alice has a slightly more balanced course load (two classes each day of the week), while poor Victor has three classes more or less in a row on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and one class at midday Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Guy continually suffers from fun depletion, which I have done my best to counteract by actually using the earbuds that came with Fitness Stuff. Look at me, making actual use of the packs I’ve bought. . .
In addition to higher education, Victor’s spent a fair bit of time fishing and gardening (I got him a planter box for some strawberries and bluebells), and Alice has started her vampire journey by getting the first tome of the vampire encyclopedia. They also had a nice visit from their friend Felipe, who gave Victor a Trevor Verily MySims statue, played the lottery but didn’t win, and – well, Victor got a phone call from Nancy Landgraab informing him of an inheritance that some friend of a super-distant relative left to him, but he’d need to get married in a week in order to claim it. No problem, since he and Alice are already engaged – I just went ahead and set up a wedding event for Sunday, well within the time period! :) (And yes, I know that particular pop-up also has the option to ask about the conditions, which will just get you the inheritance thanks to a separate clause in the will, but come on – if they’re already engaged. . .) So yeah, that save is going well – good way to get me back into the game!
And in addition to all that:
-->Had a nice parfait for breakfast, om nom
-->Got the matching Sims update for my Victor Luvs Alice tumblr queue drafted (with one bit to edit -- I have to look up where I got the Chill Save Victor and Alice's house!), along with a post for Thursday about Fallout of Darkness and Far Harbor. I am -- ahead!
-->Just finished up my Valice Multiverse queue for the night -- made up a quick list of "ask verse codes" people can use to specify a specific verse when sending me an ask (as one anon sent me something intended for the "Londerland Bloodlines" version of Doc, but I interpreted it as for the "Secundus" version of Doc), queued another ask I'd gotten recently, and even slapped a little meme in there just to fill it out.
So yeah, I was good at doing things today! Nice! And I'm not done yet, since there is Friday Night Writing Thing to do yet, along with a comment to answer. . .first though, Saturday to-do list:
1. Catch up on the OXBox/OXtra in my Watch Later, as well as trying to keep up on YouTube Subscriptions
2. Do some writing -- more potential tumblr posts, actual story snippets, etc.
3. Play some more Sims 4 -- Newcrest file, starting the McFlys' week
4. Get in a workout
This feels reasonable! Hopefully I can keep this productive streak going for a bit. And if not -- well, as long as I can fit in "Three Ways to Play Hitman 3," I'll be happy. XD Night all!
