the good news: I just found out that Sims 3 actually works on my PC now that I have Windows XP! So now I can register and get all the extra goodies - I see they have some Halloween themed decorations available to download.
the bad news: I just found out Sims 3 actually works on my PC...TIME SUCK INITIATED! I lost a good 2 hours already.
AD and I started the
Heroes s4 premiere tonight but he didn't realize it was 2 hours, and I had just installed Sims 3...so we didn't finish it yet. We both had forgotten pretty much everything that happened last year but I think we pieced it all back together. I'm already way too amused by the presence of Ray Park. He's badass, but then he has that accent.
Reminds us of Eddie Izzard's bit where he makes Darth Vader British and he's just not that scary anymore...
I also brought home the DVDs of Mad Men s1 from the library. Plus I've got the DVR set up for Glee, Community, The Office, and Dollhouse for the rest of the week...oh I think I threw the
Amazing Race premiere in there too because I haven't watched that show in years and I remember liked it back in the day...
just keep repeating - you don't need another website to check...even if it is centered around Joss...must...resist...

I'm giving up on
Marked for the time being. The writing makes me want to headdesk and besides, I've got until Oct 24th to finish it. I'll read it with my breakfast when my brain isn't quite awake yet, but for my concious hours, I'm going to start a book I
want to read - which right now is
Candor. I checked out the audiobook of
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which I should probably read but there were no copies in at the moment and I thought I might be able to handle listening to it. Has anyone read that book? Supposed to be the shiznet.
Listened to
Backspacer on my drive in to work today - good stuff. Sounds like Pearl Jam. I think I might like it more than the album before...need to figure out how I access my free downloads though, there was a sticker on the front of the CD that said I should get 2 free concert downloads or something. Also listened to the Pete Yorn & Scarlett Johanssen CD, though it was just on in the background so I didn't get to really focus on it. But Scarlett's voice is very cool, not at all what I expected.
okay, time to find my book and snuggle into bed.
