Old School Games

10:55pm: Yes indeed, I was going to play The Sims 3, as ever, but I went to the Guy With the Glasses site on advice from docsgirl and one of the games reviewed jogged my memory of an old game I used to love! Although this wasn't actually the game it was the prequel so I looked around found somewhere to downloaded and went to town (with the help of a Walkthrough because puzzle games get annnoying as Hell).

So yeah, the Simmies will have to wait for another day, because tomorrow work at the library calls, then I have to get off the train at Chatswood to look intoo jeans, as well as see if I can visit my friend who's come back from overseas.

Right now I'm watching a program about Embarrassing Body issues...mostly problems with the butt. Poor guys...

And now, Memes!

Wednesday Wickedness!

1. "I was coming home from kindergarten--well they told me it was kindergarten. I found out later I had been working in a factory for ten years. It's good for a kid to know how to make gloves." How old were you when you started working and what was your first job?

My first job was as a pamphlet deliverer when I was about 12 or 13. It was a good job as far as getting exercise goes, but the pay was completely bullshit! For like three hours work I'd get 12 bucks.

2. "My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was sixty. She's ninety-seven now, and we don't know where the hell she is." Tell us about your grandparents.

LOL.
My paternal grandparents are both deceased, I never knew my paternal grandfather, he died of hemeophilia complications in 1978 or thereabouts.
My paternal Grandma was great! :OD I loved visiting her, it always meant the holidays! She was a lot like those grandmothers on TV, the nice ones. :O) I was pretty sad when she died, but as she was suffering cancer it was sort of a relief too.
My maternal grandparents are alive and kicking, especially, Grandpa who enjoys playing golf and researching family history. He's very healthy indeed, he may outlive us all! LOL.
M is sharp as a tack when it comes to canasta - I hardly ever beat her. She needs a cane sometimes, though, but now she's got her new dentures she's good to go.

3. "Procrastination isn't the problem, it's the solution. So procrastinate now, don't put it off." Do you procrastinate or are you on top of the situations?

Oh I procrastinate all the damn time...important thing I was supposed to do today - apply for jobs, number of jobs applied to? None.

4. "Sometimes you can't see yourself clearly until you see yourself through the eyes of others." What would others say about you?

In one word, weird.

5. "The only thing that scares me more than space aliens is the idea that there aren't any space aliens. We can't be the best that creation has to offer. I pray we're not all there is. If so, we're in big trouble" Do you believe in life on other planets?

I think so, somewhere out there...will I ever get to meet 'em though? Will they be found in our lifetime? I fear not. :O(

6. "I'm a godmother, that's a great thing to be, a godmother. She calls me god for short, that's cute, I taught her that." Do you have a godchild?

Nay.

7. "I don't understand the sizes anymore. There's a size zero, which I didn't even know that they had. It must stand for: 'Ohhh my God, you're thin.'" When was the last time that you were called too thin?

Never. But that size thing is fucking annoying! It makes clothes shopping a complete bitch! Womens sizes should be like mens in concrete measurements.

8. "I have the worst memory ever so no matter who comes up to me - they're just, like, 'I can't believe you don't remember me!" I'm like, 'Oh Dad I'm sorry!'" Who was the last person that you should have recognized but didn't?

Ummm...probably a work related person...everyone seems to know my name but I can never remember theirs.

9. "I gotta work out. I keep saying it all the time. I keep saying I gotta start working out. It's been about two months since I've worked out. And I just don't have the time. Which uh..is odd. Because I have the time to go out to dinner. And uh..and watch tv. And get a bone density test. And uh.. try to figure out what my phone number spells in words." Do you work out? Have you ever joined a gym and quit almost immediately?

Nah. I'm so lazy...I've got these handweights but I keep forgetting too.

10. 'We use 10 percent of our brains. Imagine how much we could accomplish if we used the other 60 percent." Do you feel that you utilize all your intelligence in every situation?

Apparently that is untrue, but in answer to the question...nah...I always do stupid stuff. I really should look into that.

Righto, better head off now, like I said, early rising.

Goodnight all!
