The price of ... ooh, shiny things!

07 November 2004

There's a Newton's Law about the time/space continuum very few people are aware of. The equation looks something like:

1 hour clockable, "real world" time = .00000000000001 minutes computer game time

So... uh... anyone trying to reach me this weekend obviously didn't because I was sucked in to the computer game vortex of terror. AKA The Sims 2. Damn dirty Sim 2 pigs stole my weekend. To be precise, it went something like birthday party's, wedding's, over-achieving private school brats, cockroach infestations, and vomiting with morning sickness sims. If Sim time were real time I've just lived the lives of 5 people over the course of 30 years or so.

I know, I suck. I have no excuse.

But I am quite serious about the time-space continuum being completely fucked while in Sim world. Six hours (or more) - POOF! On the bright side, it's November 7th in Minnesota and I still haven't turned on my heat! I know, right? Since we're on mathematics, the coolness factor of not having turned on my heat in freezing weather would be multiplied by 27 if I actually PAID for heat (it's included in my rent, as it were).

I know, price of tea in china 'n all that.

In conclusion, I have the greatest parents ever. Really, they're the absolute best. I can hardly wait to see my family at Thanksgiving and Christmas!

The sooner there's a Mac version of Sims 2 the better - I think it's almost ready for release. Though of course I'd just end up playing it all day.
