I fell off the wagon....

I feel like an AA member that just broke down and went on a binge. But, instead of alcohol - it's Sims 2.

I had stopped playing that game awhile ago, when WoW and the Wii showed up. But the other day, I saw someone's pictures online of their Sims, and it made me wonder how my guys were doing. So I turned on the game and went to the college, and a bunch of my Sims had just graduated and were waiting for me to take them into Strangetown and let them start their adult Sim lives!

I could not deny them that!!!

So I just played Sims 2 for...well, far longer than I care to admit. Gotta get the hang of the controls again, so I'm only handling two Sims at once - Kat Curious and the grocery delivery guy she seduced while in college who is living with her now. So far so good - he's managed to get a job on the Business track. Kat is still waiting for that right job to show up on the Science track. Right now she's arranging flowers and painting pictures and selling them for extra cash.

And I realized I'm still paying for WoW, even though I haven't played in probably a month now. Just overdosed on it awhile back when I was trying to get Katchoo to 60 and haven't gone back in (I know it's been that long because jimithingy said all the cloth he sent Katchoo bounced back). I feel like I should play it, but I'm just not in the mood. It's silly.

aaaaw what??!!!

Okay, this is so not cool - Diamond Select Toys has said they are cancelling the latest wave of Buffy figures. The wave I pre-ordered almost a YEAR AGO!!! And that has been delayed at least once. Ugh! I just want my gorram figures! They were supposed to be out this month and suddenly this! Just not cool.

They cancelled the "Revamped" series, but they just annouced that, so it's less of a shocker, and I don't think anyone was impressed with the figures. But this wave everyone has been waiting for! Ugh ugh ugh!

To make it worse, I've already PAID for these figures! Paid for them way back when I pre-ordered. Time & Space Toys says they are trying to work with DST to get them to release the figures, but I have a bad feeling about this :\

KB on the TV

thank you jellibean for sending me a link about this -- rumor has it that my favorite kick-ass blonde chick, Kristen Bell, might be appearing on 'Heroes' this season for a few episodes! weeeeeee. And this, on top of the big "Lost" casting buzz!

qtbuglet told me that she heard Bell wanted to get back on Broadway and do a few musicals. I say, please please please! If she does a show in NYC, I am TOTALLY driving up there to stalk her see it!

I hope it is all true!

I cannot explain my love for Kristen. It just is! Don't judge me!

I DID IT, bermuda here we come (in september, that is)

simontrueheart, qtbuglet, and blu_harvest will be happy to know that I FINALLY booked our Bermuda stuff. Just now!

And I am pissed at Expedia. Get this - last night I checked their website and it said it would cost me $2260 for our trip. This morning, I checked while I work (for the heck of it) and it said $2072. So I was like "oh yay! I will book as soon as I get home!" So I get home and try to book and it's $2260 again! So I call and ask what is up with that and they are like "oh well, sucks to be you, do you still want to book it and I'm like "no way, I can find it cheaper elsewhere!" (I'm totally convinced that they track my IP, and since I was logged in at home (and therefore a returning customer) they tried to charge me more, but when I was at work, I wasn't logged in...I'm going to test this theory tomorrow).

And I did! Changes in L'attitudes had it for $100 less and the guy I called was much nicer. I called because I was trying to find out about the "Endless Summer" promo going on - you get a $300 gift card if you stay at one of the participating hotels. Anyhoo, it wasn't coming up on the site, so I called to verify, and he was really nice. He said the office that handles it was closed already but he took my name and number and said he would call tomorrow. Then we looked at the flights/hotel I wanted and he got a slightly higher price than I did on my computer. I had deleted the transport service, but after thinking about it, it seemed less stressful to just pay the extra $64 and have the bus and driver waiting for us, rather than trying to hail a cab at 9pm at night! Still turned out to be less than Expedia!

So screw you Expedia, I don't need your "Thank You" points!

Anyway, we are flying to Bermuda on Sept 30th, leaving from BWI and coming home Oct 4th! Wild times ahead! I'm so excited! And so happy that I finally booked it! A big thank you to qtbuglet for sending me a link to that site way back when I first started fretting over where we were going to stay.
