The Sims 3

My quick peak into The Sims 3 turned out to be a two day affair of which most of the time I didn't spend playing, I spent either asleep, working or eating. So basically all my free time. And a lot of my sleeping time too. :\ I finally feel like I've come up for air after a whole day of not playing and no pressing, addictivesque desire to go back and play until dawn. Which is probably a good thing.

Still, I'm shocked at how easily and quickly I got into it. It's a computer game for one thing, and I've never been much for them. Even my quick jaunt with World of Goo didn't end up lasting that long. But that was probably more because I was stuck pretty early on with some of those challenges... They were so hard... :( But yeah, after I had to reinstall Vista for the second time, I didn't install the game back again and still haven't. So it joins the ranks of other games I've never finished... :\

But The Sims 3! I'm totally captivated. At least I was the last two days. Right now I'm taking a respite, reading some fics I've ignored, the sleep I've put off, stuff like that. But I'm about ready to jump back into the game. So far, I've made a Harry and Draco (so very cliche) and I've got them through dating (so fast -- they woohoo'ed the first day they met each other ><), their rather long engagement and now marriage. And they're almost reaching the top of their jobs! ^^ Draco's in the business track and Harry's in law enforcement -- I thought it worked out well.

I think after this, I want to try playing John and Rodney together -- military and science geek! So very cool. In fact, I almost want to play them now along with my Draco and Harry... Hmm... Now there's a thought. But sims Harry and Draco needs some love and kiddies! Children! That's the next step in their relationship and I've got to say, I feel pretty anxious about it... I can barely deal with controlling two people but kids? We'll see how it goes...

Okay, back to my fic reading. Gah, there's been so much I've missed out on!

I know I should be asleep but...

Okay, Drop Dead Diva -- not bad, not bad at all. While it does pain me a bit to think I'm a girl who would watch Lifetime, the premise is quirky -- what if you're an airhead blond model trapped in a plus-sized genius lawyer? Plus, Brooke Elliot who plays the lead is awesome. I can't tell you how many times I was brought almost to tears or I laughed or smiled because of something she did or said.

I can't wait to see how this show develops, how she'll change (her wardrobe? her lifestyle? how?) and how she'll interact with her old boyfriend who thinks she's dead. There does seem to be some chemistry there and the development of that relationship is one I'm eagerly anticipating. But personally, I like the guardian angel. I can't help but think romantic interest since he's basically the only one who knows everything and everything about her and her situation. And he's a guy. Plus, with the constant companionship, something is sure to develop, if only friendship. And besides, he's such a hottie. Okay, they're both hotties. Hehe, Kent's speech is so rubbing off on me.

Gah, it's late. Sleep or continue on? I'm in such a high after Drop Dead Diva that I feel like I can tackle Raising the Bar as well right now... Oh, choices, choices...
