Happy April 1st!! (April Fool's Day)

Greetings one and all! I'm sorry that I haven't updated this starting page to my blog, but work and life get in the way of my Sim Addiction all the time. *sad sigh* But enough about that.

Guess what?!

Maxis has given us an April Fool's gift in the form of a new download! It is the Runs with Scissors Playset: Thrill-seekers and pranksters alike will find the activity of running paired with giant scissors reduces the tedium of exercise by maximizing danger and increasing excitement. The Runs With Scissors Playset is not recommended for children. You can get the download here.

Also ... you be pleased to discover that they have FINALLY published part 5 of The Strangerhood. This is that wonderfully comedic online series developed by Rooster Teeth Production, the creators of the popular redvsblue online movie series.

For those of you who may not know about this interesting series, "...the story centers around a group of eclectic characters all suffering from amnesia. For reasons unknown to them, they have been gathered together in a mysteriously remote suburban neighborhood, with seemingly no way in or out.

Throughout the season, the characters will attempt to figure out who they are, why they have been brought together, and just exactly who is behind this bizarre experiment."


And since I totally missed out on EASTER (*rolls eyes at self*), here is a nifty little toy for all the kiddies that MaxoidMonkey was kind enough to create for all of us. I think you'll enjoy it!



In Other News ...

The Sims 2 University Expansion was released on March 1st, 2005 to many of us in the United States. I received my copy on March 2nd and have been playing it at every available opportunity (which isn't very many ... being an adult is NOT cool). IGN.com was kind enough to publish the Sims 2 University Prima Guide on their website. Check it out. For those of you who wish to buy your own, it also includes the original prima guide for The Sims 2. Believe me ... the book is the HOLY GRAIL! You won't regret owning it.

I've been playing with various Sims 2 families in my various Sims 2 neighborhoods, including a new neighborhood that I've ironically called "Universe City" ... since it features my new University Challenge family - Leggasea. Keep your eyes pealed for a new and updated blogs soon, especially for that of "The Adventures of Average Joe Schmoe"! Coming to a blog near you!
Also, please, please, PLEASE, be sure to visit my MySim page. I've updated some of my other stories there, and I've been getting some great reviews! I'm so honored.

More to come!
