Sims screwed up my computer so I might as well play it

For those of you not following my twitter I made a Sims house with 8 of the B-Podders, Dan, Hiro, Sidney, Naoya, Lauren, Me, Yusuke, and Elisabeth. They don’t let you do more than 8, or I probably woulda killed myself making everyone. Anyway, much of my time these days is spent with at least part of my attention focused on this silly game. If you would like to know details I suggest you ask, as I intend to try and not bore everyone with the details, although I might fail.

IRL I called PNNL and asked them what was up. They told me they were waiting on Central. So I called Central and asked them what was up and they told me that degrees aren’t processed until July 2nd, so they can’t tell PNNL I graduated until after that. So my vacation gets another extension. I will likely go to Cheney with Pat again this week, since I now know I can, as it will be more convenient for attending Sindey’s 4th of July celebrations. Plus I can hang out with Pat more before we are both relegated to work drone-itude.

Lastly, in the course of addressing my computer woes I have found in convenient to use mother’s computer from time to time.  As such I have also used IE, a thing I’ve not done often in years.  Using IE has exposed me to adds like the one below.  Now, I dunno what this is an ad for, although I’m sure it’ s utter crap, but apparently one need follow only “these one simple rule”.  /rolls eyes   I tend to scorn sheeple, but people are such gibbering morons that if they didn’t have that instinctual herd mentality we never would have made it this far.

pat pat Fat Pat’s Pat Fat

Since I’m leaving Cheney in a few hours I figured I’d do an update post explaining a bit of what I did during my week here.

On Monday, Pat’s first day of work, Pat and I did a easy little bike ride, on roads and paths.  We went 18 miles out to the lake.  It was a good date path.  Girlfriends would definitely like it.  So, now Pat knows.  We saw a couple turtles on the trip.  It was cool.  Along a long stretch of the path is a little stream on both sides, and they were coming out of there to sun themselves or something.  One was covered in green slime stuff.  So… that was kinda the highlight of that day.  We also fried chicken, and did it successfully, eventually.

Tuesday Pat didn’t have to go into work until 8.  Yeah, I know.  Awesome, huh.  One of these days we watched Crank 2.  And we played a bunch of Resistance over the course of Tuesday and Wednesday.  We also watched quite a few Project Lore episodes.  We went to Subway on Tuesday cause we were missing cooking supplies and we felt lazy.

Wednesday, after Pat got back, we went shopping for a pot big enough to cook our corn, and got some grocery things we were missing.  First we ate a Tony’s pizza, though, to tide us over.  After successful shopping, except the pot being kinda broken, we successfully made corn.  The rest of the day was all Resistance.  While the corn cooked Pat and I did this ab work out competition thing I learned from Dan.  It was round two.   Round 1 on Monday was a sweep for Pat, but I one the face down half of the competition this day.  Uh… whoo?!?

Thursday I Skyped w/ Yusuke and Lauren a bit.  They were together since Yusuke was going up to Vancouver and stopped for lunch w/ Lauren.  Sidney came and got me afterwards and took me to Newport and her house.  We hung out with Emily Anne Geddes and their friend Shelby( or Shelly or something), and Pat came up after work.  He made it without directions or anything.  Instinct.  We trampolined, and Guitar Heroed mostly, but most importantly we ate tons of their food.  So that was good.

Today is the last day of work for Pat… … … this week.  I guess the plan is to jet out of here as soon as he gets home and go back to the Tri-Cities.  I bet he hopes to get home in time for dinner.

All the time when I’ve been alone has been spent watching podcasts and playing the Sims and chatting with people… mostly Lauren.

We go now.
