The lights are on for sure...

So we got two new households moving in. One I've been planning since the start. I don't think I'm actually going to do much with them, but seeing as poor Kaylee and Chief haven't had a lot going on lately, I figured I'd move the rest of the Serenity crew in next door. (I didn't make these sims, I was in a rush so I got a premade set from the Exchange. I DID however make the Book and Inara ones because the set did not have Book and their Inara was...scary.) And now we also have HOUSE FULL O' CYLONS... moved in practically in the Adama's backyard. (No Dualla updates this time.)

Plus I figured out the cheats to set career at whatever you want for each character. *snerk* Almost all the military career options are air force. *glee*

You asked for updates. I deliver updates.

I have a few more toddler shots of Hera and Liam here, but all the kids have aged up to child now, and started developing personality traits on their own. For some reason Kacey only has two. "Absent minded" and "Easily impressed". Liam has three "Loner" "Athletic" and... "Loser" *falls over laughing* He's such a pathetic little kid. I need to get him socializing with Kacey and Hera more. Oh! Oh! Hera's personality traits. I'm pretty sure I gave her "Genius" and "Artistic" when she was a toddler. But when she aged up? She developed the trait EVIL. I always knew Hera was a little creeper.

I'm still not used to the open neighborhood. I mean I got used to people wandering by at all hours. But then I got some... strange surprises over at the Dee, Gaeta, Hoshi household... Gaius also got fired from his job when I wasn't looking.

I seriously just played The Sims 3 for about... 6 hours. X.x Good job, me.

I need to get back to writing but I'm just... stuck. I have ideas... but I'm still just stuck. And I'm sad. I'd like to be writing fic but I just... can't right now. It's awful.

So what do I do? I set up a bunch of OotB related sims. I loved messing around with the clothes, but unfortunately hair choices are pretty limited. Sadly, I couldn't put everyone in the same household, so I currently have everyone set up in 4 households in the same area (and the good thing about the open neighboorhood is that they can actually go visit each other), not including Kaylee and Chief who have a house of their own in another part of the town.

But my favorite thing to happen so far today? First night, a burglar (named Sammy... by the computer, not me) broke into the Adama house... and woke everyone up (except Laura who just... snoozed through the whole ordeal.) And Adama came downstairs in his robe and got in a fight with the burglar and had his ass handed to him. Then right after that, Kara (in just her undies) beat the robber to the pulp while Lee called the cops. The burglar got away before the cops showed up. I don't know why but this entertained me to no end.

Aaaand I have my first day of training at work today... this coupled with my writing anxiety? Not making for a happy tulip...

So I was going to watch some Star Trek TOS to prepare for the movie tonight, but after one episode what I realized was that I was craving more old school BSG and so I have a new, shiny commentary on Episode 3. Snarkiness, Adama Shoulder Holds, and horrible, horrible slash goggles ensue.
( So we last left off on the casino planet with the tylium mine... )

So... I have this shiny psychology paper I need to be writing... and I took some notes on the studies I was looking at... and jotted them down all nice and neat in my notebook... and then I looked at the page before it and saw the scenes and character dynamics I wanted to work on for the sequel/continuation to Out of the Black.

Guess which set of notes was longer.

*headwall*

Note number one, ditch Serenity's retcon of River's backstory.
Note number two, figure out something else to do with Miranda.
