Yay for Xmas

I actually mean this. I don't usually enjoy the holiday season. Other than it gives me an excuse for cooking a lot of food, which I do like to have an excuse for. We had ham and a bunch of side dishes.

But, I must say I scored in gifts. Not only did I get a bag of nuts, comfy sock shoes and a 15 dollar Starbucks gift card from my roommate's sister, Jan, I also got The Sims Double Deluxe. Now I just need to find a no-cd version so I can actually install it without Securom. Life Stories doesn't have Securom but Pet and Castaway Stories does. Since my computer is now Securom free due to it having XP reinstalled on it, I would like to keep it that way.

In other news I also received the new Mario brothers by proxy. Jan it bought it for roomie and of course I've been playing it. It's much like old NES Mario, which is so cool, but it's harder and of course it has the options of using the nunchuk and there is this cool thing with teeter-totter style beams that you have to actually tilt the controller to use.

I've been reading Madame Ugly's journal, Simbation, over at LJ. The link is over there -----> If you like uglification Sim stories you should visit. It's a bit adult at times, but it's hilarious. She's really talented at writing high drama. I have started from the beginning. This is a daunting task as she has a lot of entries and they started back in 2005. But it's been well worth it. I routinely bust a gut at her writing. In fact my new favorite saying is from one of her comments in the readers comments. She said she, "snorted so hard she practically deviated her septum". That alone set me off to the point where I actually had to go use the loo.

I have no idea if anyone will read this blog. I don't really care. The Sims have given me such joy and I just need to share it.
