It's Not the End

vovatWell, according to three-time failed apocalypse predictor Harold Camping, today was supposed to be the end of the world. After predicting the Rapture would occur back in May, he changed it to October, and then had a stroke. I believe he recently said the end would "probably" occur today, which doesn't sound very sincere. Maybe God passed him over like the Great Pumpkin did to Linus, and all Camping ended up seeing was Snoopy. Seriously, how many times does he have to get it wrong before people stop listening to him?
I installed The Sims 2 on my current computer, and played it quite a bit in the past few days. It's still just as addictive as ever, but it kind of feels like a waste because I know The Sims 3 has been out for some time now, and if I get that I most likely will never get back to the Sims I've spent so much time building up in the second game. There's still stuff I haven't done with The Sims 2, but most of the time I just have my Sims build up their skills, which gets a little bit tedious. I did get to see puppies being born in the game last night, though, so that's something. I've never had anyone turn into a werewolf, either.
Also, Suzanne was telling me about The Sims Medieval today, and that sounds like another time-consuming game I'd enjoy. I often like to pretend my Sims are kings and wizards anyway, so it might be fun to actually have them legitimately fill those roles. I understand the game is a lot more linear, though, and based on quests more than simulation per se. It's probably silly to be thinking of new games I could get when I still have older ones I haven't played much or at all, though. Sometimes deciding how I want to spend my leisure time is even more complicated than working. Much more fun, however. I probably SHOULD be spending that time writing, but that takes more effort.
Anyway, I just finished watching Hatchet II, and now I'd better get some sleep. I'll try to write a mythology post tomorrow night.
