Sorry, for the disappearance. I was recently swamped at work and had to just drop everything. Right now I’m not gonna give an exact update day, because I’m not sure when I’ll be able to get back on schedule. But I should be updating at least once or twice every 2 weeks at this point. As soon as things cool out a bit, I’ll go back to weekly updates. Sorry!
I was messing with some of my templates and accidentally screwed with some of my permanent pages. They have been restored. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks.

Super sorry for the delay. Something insane was going on with my computer, and every computer savvy friend I have made me think that I had some sort monster virus, so I had take it to get checked out. It wasn’t a monster virus. It was some setting that was conflicting with another setting… or something, I don’t even know. But, sorry for the disappearance.
I’m back up, and because I missed last week’s update, I’ll have a double update today.
I want to thank Mao over at Wings of Steel for all of her advice and help. She seriously helped save the day. THANKS MAO!
Quick Note: This update contains some sexual references, and profanities. Use discretion.
So, I’ve been trying to upload pictures off and on for a little bit now, and for some reason, my png files are not showing up. I’m just getting huge black boxes, and no one wants that. I would switch to jpg format or gif, but I can’t stand the quality of those formats. So, plan F. I’m going to call my personal computer/windows/internet wizard (read: boyfriend), and hopefully I can get things running by tommorrow. Sorry!

Just so there isn’t any confusion (I don’t think there was, but someone pointed out that there might be), the last entry, Bliss of Reentry: Part III, took place in the past. It’s intent was to give a tiny peak into one of the former trials in the lives of Hadrian and Aeryn. Yeah.
Later on today, I will be posting Part IV of the chapter, which will return to the time frame we started with. Just so no one is confused. If anyone was confused. I hope not. Rambling.

So EA just opened their sims 3 website today, (it’s obviously getting some superior levels of traffic because it’s loading time is like watching grass grow) and I really just don’t like the looks of this upcoming game. I mean, I appreciate the ideas: the removal of loading between lots, the freedom to travel the neighborhood, the more flexible Create-A-Sim options, the unique character personality trait thingy. I’m super excited about those things, but the sims themselves look so… how to describe it… squishy? Maybe?
There is this monopoly game that my nephew can’t touch his computer without playing. He found it in some bargain bin at a drug store somewhere and bought it for like 3 cents pretty much because it was made in 1999. When I look at these screenshots, I think of that game. Monopoly. From 1999.
I think I thought that they were going to go in a more realistic direction, like final fantasy or something, and lose the simmy feel. But it looks like they are getting even more simmy, if that makes sense.
Whatevs. Maybe my eyes have just become too adapted to the Sims 2 look and feel. And really, my griping means nothing because I’m absolutely going to pre-order the balls off that thing. Check it out.
Bohemianscibe also posted a link to an interesting Sims 3 first-look article yesterday.
Unrelated: I’m gonna be playing around with my site layout, especially my links, so things might be jumping around and looking a little unkempt. It’s probably going to look exactly the same tommorrow, but I just want to apologize for over-pinging anyone between now and Friday.
Kind of related: Should this post have a warning on it because I said “balls”? Twice?

Quick Note: There is some use of adult language in this post (one character has a penchant for the use of a 4-letter word that starts with “sh” and ends with “it”.), so please use discretion.
Quicker Note: This update is kind of early, but I plan on updating again this coming Friday, anyway. Friday will be my official updating day… until I tweak out and change it.
Quickest Note: The Sims 2 default lighting sucks so bad, I want to smack it in the head.
