anonymoose_au10:05pm: So I've been Simming again and I accidentally neglected to check that Doc's father was in the gold before trying to reset his aspiration and he turned into a Grilled Cheese Sim! :OD It was pretty hilarious...then I decided to change him back and things went a little strange and I had to delete him from the lot then reload. When I had, he's aspiration had changed to knowledge, but his lifetime want was still...
LOL, that's brilliant! He wants to know Grilled Cheese...really know it. I like itt, I'm going to keep him like that. ;O) I'll let you know if he reaches his goal.
In other news, not much, although that assignment result I was talking about has finally come back and I passed yay! Although it was hardly a stellar mark, 62%. Better then a poke in the eye with a burnt stick I suppose.
Ow...my stupid eyeballs are all sore...too much computing, I suppose...damn you Sims 2 for being so addictive!

Four For Friday
The May 7th Edition
Q1 - Apprehension: Earlier this week, during a game against the St. Louis Cardinals, a towel-waving Philadelphia Phillies baseball fan gained access to the field where he eluded security while running in circles in the outfield. After just 30 seconds of being on the field, the fan was subdued by a Philadelphia police officer who used a Taser stun gun to bring him down. While many people question the use of a stun gun to bring down a prankster, Major League Baseball players have said it's an appropriate action, because they fear for their safety. What do you think... should stun guns be used to stop the occasional jokester, or should fans entering the field of play during games will be apprehended by team security as they always have (by tackle)?
That's a bit harsh isn't it? Those things can kill people! I find it a little hard to believe they couldn't have subdued him in any other way...They're big burly security personnel. I suppose you could also almost kill the guy that way too. Maybe they can just use a net or something. :OP
Q2 - Loans: In Long Beach, California, the City Council unanimously voted to loan the local Cal Worthington Ford dealership $600,000 so it could keep its doors open and 120 local residents employed. According to news reports, the dealership generates $1.8 million in tax revenue each year and plans to use the loan to finance its expansion plans. Do you think cities or municipalities should lend money to local businesses as they've done in Long Beach, California?
That seems a slightly weird thing to do, it doesn't sound like the company was in trouble or anything...I suppose they were threatening to move or something. Weird... I don't know, it does employ a lot of peoople though. Plus California's in a bad slump at the moment, so keeping jobs is pretty important. I suppose if it's unanimous and there's no sign of people getting paid off.
Q3 - Summer 2010 Movies: Which of the following summer 2010 movies are you most interested in seeing (either in the theatre or on DVD)... Robin Hood (opens May 14); Shrek 4 Forever After (opens May 21); Prince of Persia The Sands of Time (opens May 28); Sex and the City 2 (opens May 28); Killers (opens June 4); Marmaduke (opens June 4); Splice (opens June 4); Get Him to the Greek (opens June 11); Karate Kid (opens June 11); The A Team (opens June 11); Jonah Hex (opens June 18); Toy Story 3 (opens June 18); Grown Up (opens June 25); Twilight 3 Eclipse (opens June 30); Knight and Day (opens July 2); Leaves of Grass (opens July 2); Despicable Me (opens July 9); Inception (opens July 16); The Sorcerer's Apprentice (opens July 16); Salt (opens July 23); Cats and Dogs 2 (open July 30); Get Low (opens July 30); I Love You Philip Morris (opens July 30); Little Fockers (opens July 30); The Other Guys (opens August 6); Eat Pray Love (opens August 13).
Gawd, that's a lot of movies...but hey Little Fockers, that's a sequel to Meet the Parents/Fockers, that sounds like fun! Also Shrek 4, I neglected to see in the cinema and rather regret.
Q4 - Humor: On the heels of its decision to censor an episode of "South Park" that included a depiction of the prophet Muhammad, Comedy Central said this week it has a cartoon series about Jesus Christ in the works (apparently, "JC" depicts Christ as a regular guy who moves to New York City to escape his father's enormous shadow). Are you offended by the very notion of this new cartoon series (enough so that you wouldn't watch), or could you care less and/or are actually looking forward to watching "JC" when it airs later this year?
Heh...it's a somewhat amusing premise, I mean yikes who's got a bigger shadow than God! But it does go to show the difference in how people take depictions of their God! Personally I think God has a good sense of humour and as long as it's in good fun. Don't know if I'd watch it though...depends if it was actually funny.

The (Other) Saturday Six

1. Colin Firth - because it's Colin Firth!
2. Barack Obama - he sounds like an interesting guy to me. Plus US President!
3. Bob Gale - He was part of the team that creating Back to the Future, best movie ever!

Saturday 9
:Hey Jealousy:
1. When was the last time that you got jealous?
Uh...gee, I don't know, it's been a while.
2. At what point do you finally decide it's time to move forward with your life (like, major changes)? How do you know? What do you do?
I don't, because I suck at that sort of thing...
3. When is it time to just let it ('it' can be whatever you choose) go? How do you know? What do you do?
I don't know either...which is why I have a box full of old newspaper articles and other various bits and pieces that I'm never going to use or look at, LOL.
4. How many times must someone push your buttons before you've just had enough? Why?
It really depends, sometimes I have a seriously short temper, but it really depends on how the day has been.
5. If I S/O were to cheat on you, could you ever see yourself giving them a second chance? Or a third?
I've got no idea...maybe I'd give them a second chance, but not a third, unless there was some SERIOUS mitigating circumstances and I can't think what those would be.
6. What was the last thing that someone did that you were very grateful for?
My mother made me an egg and bacon muffin last Sunday, it was very delicious!
7. How much time do you spend online in a given weekday? What about the weekends?
Err...let's not discuss it, way too much, let me tell you.
8. How many online journals/blogs do you read regularly? What are some of your favorites and why?
My friend's page! I love you all! :OD
9. What was the last major purchase that you made?
Ummm...hmmm...not in ages, but since I've been unemployed I did spend $22 on a American Dad - Season 2 DVD, which you know counts in so far as all that.
This is an interesting police drama I'm watching, though they're still doing the whole Police brutality thing, seriously if I was in the interrogation room and the cop grabbed me by the troat I'd scream like a bandshee and sue their ass.
And fuck me, sudden throwing up scenes, they never warn for this shit, God it pisses me off!
But hey I figured out 'whodunnit' before anyone else on the show did, I guess all those Agatha Christie's have done me good after all.
And that's all I have to say for today.
Goodnight all!
