(no subject)
Why do I get freaked out so easily? Why! Why, Damn it!
But then I suppose looking at one-eyed-babies at night, by myself is just asking for trouble. And this is me, remember, someone who still needs to watch horror movies through fingerslits. Although you won't see me doing that much anymore, (entirely because I don't watch horror. :P)

Other happenings.
I got the LOTR Return of the King DVD!!! Too bad my mother insisted that I shouldn't open it until Boxing Day... At least she paid for it...
And I just realized we're going away for a week on the 25th... So much for my plan of being a slug in front of the TV.

Oh yeah, got the Sims 2 working.
Not as great as I expected. (I'll making a note not to anticipate anything too much in the future.)
Perhaps it's my painfully slow computer, or the fact that the whole game seems too easy, (this meaning my Sims managed to survive, with enough money for food and everything.) or maybe it's the fact that it's largely he same game except it's 3D and with some new features.
But there are some cool points too.
1. You can zoom right in now, to the point where it's possible to watch TV! I've also heard that you can play your own video, but I couldn't be bothered to try.
2. Natural deaths. At least, I'm going to assume this is a good thing, since the only sim I had lived for approximately 15 days before the game screwed up. (Sure, it remembers she has a husband but doesn't remember that their house also had stuff, expensive stuff, in it.)
Maybe if this was Sims 1, I would like it more, but now, all it seems is a rehash of the old. Maybe I'll change my mind after playing it on a faster computer. Maybe...

The Train Wreck Syndrome Support Group - Apart from one-eyed-babies, there's a lot of other stuff, and I've been mostly too scared to open the links, reading the comments from braver souls is enough for now.
John Titor: Space Traveller (on TFP) - Completely depressing. 99% not believing it, but there's always the 1% doubt, isn't there? The rest of the Paranoia forum is not much better either.
