Another Day. Another Simoleon.

The Sims
In an effort to save what money I have, I decided to download the Sims 2 and play that for the next couple of weeks.

I opened for 2, because as much as I like 3, it really didn't add much to the gameplay. The Sims 2 requires less of my laptop and so runs smoother.

I started off with a guy and a girl and went from there. The original couple are still in the game, approaching the 'elder' life stage, while their eldest daughter is married, a son in University and twin kids approaching their teens.

I'm still using the same house that I started with, which was originally a one bedroom deal, now has like 6 and covers most of the lot.

My aim is to see how big a family tree I can have by the time I leave for Florida (which at the time of writing is just two weeks away).

Photography
My Flickr account holds just about every photo I take. Due to that, it contains both a lot of work that I'm proud of and a lot of work that is pretty crap. I decided during the week to go through my photos and pick out some of my favourites, for whatever reason and put them into one set.

I didn't get all my favourites, just a sampling. Looking through nearly 3000 pictures isn't something I wanted to spend too much time on. However, I'm happy with the set with which I ended up with.

Quiz
Team Name: Team! If you wanna go faster.
Score: 41

While sometimes we have a hard time finding 3 people to go to quiz, this week it seemed that everyone wanted to go. We had a team of 6. While, Logan, O'May, Matthew Davidson and Dave Thomas had their own team.

After quiz, we headed up to McDonald's. While leaving, O'May shouted about going to Spynie Churchyard. I went home and grabbed the camera and we headed out.

The edited footage of which has been put together into a new series of sorts called "The David Thomas Chronicles." -- More on that next week though.
