I have not updated this in a while and I’m sorry. I have a new obsession that has been consuming 99% of my time away from work. I am obsessed with Sims 2. I’m not obsessed with the actual playing of the game though. I’m obsessed with getting the game to work on my computer. I know my computer is probably getting old, but I thought it was good enough to play a game! Wow, I was wrong. I didn’t even meet the minimum requirements for this game. My built in video card would not even run the game at all. Well, actually the makers of The Sims 2 would not allow me to run the game. I found a way around it, and was able to play in a window, but not full screen. It was really slow though, so I went out and bought a new video card for my computer. It wasn’t cheap either. So the Sims worked for about a day and now it just freezes and crashes. Since I have built more than one house, it refuses to cooperate. I did meet the minimum requirements of 256 MB of RAM to play the game. Apparently this is the minimum requirement to be able to build one house. After one house, 256 MB no longer works and wants more. This is crap. Now I have realized that I just need a new computer. I want to play the game and I have invested time and money into this, so bite me Sims. Who the heck has a computer able to run this insane game? My computer is about 2.5 years old, but it has been well maintained. It has 1.2 GHZ, 256MB Ram, and now this new fancy video card. What else do you want people!! I think that Sims creators knew how addicting this game is, and they are probably in cahoots with the computer maker people, making commission on every new computer sold to those desperate people who want to play Sims but can’t on their “NORMAL” run of the mill computer.
What else can I go grumble grumble about??? Oh, I know. I went to the eye doctor last Monday and had my eye exam since I have been wearing the same pair of contacts since July. Now I have insurance but was too lazy to go. They won’t give me my regular contacts and are being retarded. They said that my contacts would be ready on Wednesday(last Wednesday). Today is already a week later and they just told me that they are on backorder and will not be ready until the week after next! What! I’ve never ever had to wait for contacts before. Not even one day. I always went, got my eye exam, and left with my contacts. Who do these people get their contacts through? The North Pole? Ughh.
Work is crazy as always. Probably why I don’t feel like coming home and typing or looking at words on a screen. Probably why I don’t feel like updating, and if you have emailed me I haven’t checked that in some time either. I get so many emails and stare at so many screens at work all day … all I want to do when I come home is play the big colorful Sims game. Or watch TV. Or stare at the wall. I like my job, but it sucks. I’m tired of other countries, other languages, weird people who call me and know who I am yet I am clueless as to who they are or where they got my number. I want to be a Sims creator. I am going to make a game that works for normal people.
Besides Sims, contacts, work …. um nothing. I have no life. I’m boring. I smell like a gerbil. I’ve been in anti-social mode lately. I think I get my fill of people at work. When I come home I just want to be alone. I don’t have to explain myself to anyone. If you will just chill with me, no questions asked … then fine. If I have to expend energy just to talk to you, then I don’t have the energy to do it. And if you really need to find me, I’ll be playing the Sims. Or at the grocery store. Or sleeping. Or on the couch watching TV. Maybe I’ll be dancing along to my Cindy Crawford video or hanging out somewhere with Todd. Or hanging out with his cat. Or spying on my landlord to find out if he really died. Or out buying a cat when I confirm that he is dead or incapacitated. Until then, I’m here. I’m alive. And I’m fine.
