1. Canceled the Target run by picking up cat food at the grocery store. I'm pretty sure I paid more, but not when you figure in the extra bus fare
( Read more... )
1. I also had to opt for other cat food tonight, as the pet food store closed earlier than expected. So, for the next week or so, the three small mammals in the apartment dine on Trader Joe's Premium Ocean Catch Cat Food.
4. Of all non-catastrophic weather, freezing rain eats most ass, hands-down. Had I lived in say, Chicago, rather than buttfuck Wisconsin where I had to drive all the time, I'd have actually enjoyed winter's solidly freezing temperatures and the snow they brought. 40-degree rain (California winter) feels much colder and looks much gloomier than 20-degree snow (Great Lakes winter [on a good day]).
4a. Pedestrian parades kick ass (as opposed to "eat ass," see 4). I dearly miss pedestrian life. Someday

Re: 1 - Aah, the simply joys and trials of four-foots!
Re: 4 - Completely agreed. No winter is good winter, but freezing rain is the worst the Old Man offers.
Re: 4a - I love to be noticed. Imitated is generally too much for me to hope for, but I was rockin' it tonight. :-)
Re: 5 - I can't help but feeling a little... well, not happy, but conflicted?... about it, since the one that's close to death is the one that ate the last batch of new arrivals.
Re: 6 - Alone sucks, and the sleep, while plentiful, isn't nearly as fulfilling. I keep trying to substitute quantity for quality. Hasn't worked yet.
Re: 7 - When I find things that pop up enough that I should know them, but don't, I visit urbandictionary.com for an explanation. You're exactly right about the ecstatic guy. I'm going to icon him before too long. I'll have to share the original image; it's deliciously funny

8. As Electronic Arts and Maxis don't seem in any particular hurry to drum up SimCity5 (apparently SimCity Societies doesn't come close), I find myself crawling back to 4. The plots not lining up - and the inability to simply change them without having to resort to all kinds of meta-mod-nerd shit - really irks me, along with the fact that water only exists at sea level and palm trees grow everywhere (hey, you know I love California, but I'd love to switch it up occasionally in the gaming world). Presently, I take great pains to craft the landscape of a California-esque region I've dubbed the Golden State. As I know way too much about geomorphology and find the random distribution of plots particularly vexing, the process takes for-e-ver.
The geomorphing is just too difficult. Reconciling edges shouldn't destroy highway connections, as long as it's still land underneath. But I've never been much for the earth mods anyway... I like the challenge of working with what I'm given. I do go a little crazy with the Add Wild Animals feature, but I like to do that over water, so that I get whales. :-)
Aside from that, my only real problem is the way that elevated highways are still following terrain blips. I mean, unless you're climbing a mountain, an elevated highway should just be taller and level, instead of the uppy-downy crap. If it's too high, then don't let me put in an interchange. Not that hard, guys.
Also, I want to be able to build under highways and other elevated structures. It bothers me that a reserved tile is, well, reserved.
And I want a Chicagoland region. I wonder if I can download it somewhere, or if I have to build it myself.
Follow the link to lift terrain from anywhere in the contiguous 48 states. I imagine Chicago and immediate environs lending themselves readily to easy SimCity sculpting. Good luck!
