The Sims

[mallorys_camera]

So I spent the day alternating between thinking, You are the biggest fuckup who ever lived, and feeling relatively sanguine. I was very productive on three hours sleep – a miracle and a good thing. I processed various documents and should have the ones that are missing by Monday.

Obviously, I suffer from delusions of grandeur. I know! Let's do a poll:

[Poll #1918046]

Helpful hints: You will not find the word "Calais" engraved upon my heart, I had nothing to do with NSA spying, and I don't bowl.

On my recent March through the bowels of Brooklyn with the lovely and talented katestine, we passed one of those ecycle places, and I am thinking now that I should refind that place and score a battered old laptop that I can use to play The Sims 3. I haven't played The Sims 3 in a couple of years. It won't play on my antiquated powerbook. Playing The Sims always makes me very, very happy – has something to do with being God in their admittedly circumscribed universe and making them pee on the floor.

Once again, I feel moved to summon Phil K. Dick to the white courtesy telephone – he presaged the Sims all with Perky Pat in the Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch.

I've always maintained that the Sims would be that"killer app" they were always looking for in the 1990s if you could get them to look just like celebrities and perform realistic and sordid sexual acts for your amusement. And of course, you can. You just have to know how to mod.

comparing your fuckups to George W Bush's fuckups = emo

George Bush is more of an evil mastermind, still pulling the strings, years later. Don't blame Obama, he didn't even know!
