Homeless Sims

Got this link via a friend from Facebook. It's an account of a pair of Sims characters that were created as homeless. The account has screenshots so you can see them and their reactions.
(For those who don't know, 'Sims' is a game where you play a simulated person. You find them a job, try to keep them happy and deal with their problems. I've heard it's very addicting.)

Hmmm, the requirements of this game sound suspiciously like parenthood!

We have a version of Sim City somewhere, but I don't think we've ever played it.

Sim city is different. Think of that as being a city manager and deciding how to zone areas and lay out roads and that type of thing. Also addictive but a very different frame of reference.

Every time I played Sim City, I kept flashing back to the Twilight Zone ep, "The Little People" and ended up shouting "I'm the god! I'M THE GOD!!!" at my monitor.

Bear in mind, this was in my college dorm, and I was night security.

We went through a Sims phase. It was way too stressful & too much work! to really enjoy, so we stopped.

Sometimes I think of my kids having those little arrows above their heads as I think, what are their levels? Are they low on sleep? Hungry? How high is their happy meter? *groan*

2024 Olympics?

Next week the US Olympic Committee will decide if they'll bid on the 2024 Olympics (I'm betting they will) and may decide on which city they'll put forth to host.  There are four cities on the host list: Boston Los Angeles San Francisco Washington DC I've long believed that if the US bids on 2024, they will win.  The US hasn't hosted an Olympics since Salt Lake City in 2002 and no summer games since Atlanta in 1996.  Given the importance that the US has, particularly in funding, a 28 year gap is a huge one. So who gets the nod?  I have absolutely no insider knowledge but I'd like to make some guesses.  Pure speculation to follow. San Francisco is an interesting choice.  The Bay Area is certainly beautiful.  I'm guessing (I haven't checked into it) that there are enough venues in NoCal to satisfy the sporting requirements.  Between the professional teams (six?) and the number of big time colleges, there must be.  Throw in the big mo...

Box Elder Bugs

Yesterday morning's breakfast started badly. I'd split my bagel in half and was ready to toast it when I noticed a BOX ELDER BUG sitting on the toaster. The FP Gal tried to help remove him but it looked like he went into one of the slots. Not cool. She then shook out the toaster over the garbarge while I helpfully supervised from the other side of the kitchen. After that we couldn't see it in the toaster. So...we did a test run to smoke it out. Nothing. After careful inspection I finally toasted my bagel. Carefully checked it for embedded insect. Found it clean and ate it. Whew! This morning I sliced my bagel. And found another Box Elder bug on the toaster. The FP Gal was still asleep so I had to take care of it myself. Kleenex over mouth, eyes barely open and a quick paper towel latter it was gone. Seriously, if I find another one tomorrow we have to sell the house.
