felis_ultharusBreaking radio silence again here. I've been completely wiped out lately, because all the extra work hours - I did eight days out of nine, ending Friday, and collapsing asleep most nights. The last two days I was scarcely online.
I did visit![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jenjoou, but mostly I've been in bed sleeping, working on a draft for the CBC Literary Awards, and occasionally playing The Sims 2 for PS2. I beat that game.
(I can understand the appeal of the game - it strikes just the right balance between realism and wish fulfilment. Beautiful people you can dress like dolls, in beautiful houses you can renovate for cheap so long as they are not actually on fire.
I also like how the grim reaper can be bribed - he gets really excited over receiving $100 earth dollars* - as a system for getting your Sims back to life. But it's also depressing how quickly your friends forget you in that game. I mean, a few days away, and they forget who you are.)
Today, I'm going to finish a draft for my short story for the awards. Then I'm going to pull out my usable poetry and see what I can refurbish for the said contest. I'm determined to enter two categories this year. If nothing else, it'll increase my chances.
*Bonus internet points for those who get the reference
