As a Sims fan and player, I have spent a lot of time, energy and money on expansion and stuff packs. There have been a lot of great items and interactions released in various expansions but the one thing I have wanted from the beginning is the ability to go boating with my Sims.
In real life, my family enjoys time boating, skiing, and time at Lake Powell on house boats as a family.
This year, for my birthday (well, the day after) the expansion will finally be released to allow that to happen. Yay!
Granted, I rarely play any more. Maybe once a month, but it's still fun to escape real life and play my Sims life.
And, EA announced the exciting news that The Sims 4 will be release next year....that will be interesting to see how that's played.

Friday Night Videos
Looking forward to this movie, for sure!!
Scary!! I think I would have flipped out:
In a few weeks, Eric and I will join another 5K as a fund raiser and to build awareness to the issue of human trafficking and other forms of slavery: Operation 61 on May 14 at Liberty Park - if any body wants to join us)
Finally: since the wedding of the decade was all people seem to talk about these days, I found this Sims 3 parady of the wedding:

Sims 3 and Politics
The crew at Maxis made some fun of our politics using The Sims 3. The Sims 3 will be released early next year, but I haven't decided if I'll buy it right away. I have a lot to accomplish with my legacy families in the Sims 2 AND I have spent so much money on all the expansions and original games for The Sims and The Sims 2. I will eventually pick up the 3rd edition, just not sure when.
Enjoy:
First up we have Sarah Palin and Joe Biden duking it out. I'm glad the race didn't end this way.
Next we have the Palin/McCain dance.
And the last video is for the Wii - My Sims. Politics of sorts, I guess:
I think I joined the throng of other Americans yesterday in discovering how ignorant and uneducated Sarah Palin truly is. I think the republicans are using her as their scapegoat. She an easy target!
That said, how does she not know that Africa is a continent and not a country!?

The Sims Evolution
As mentioned in a previous entry, I am a huge Sims fan. Eric introduced me to The Sims while we were dating. Until then, video games had been pretty foreign territory. Ever since then, the PS2 and my computer games have been a fun way to spend an evening. Now that there's a bit of a budget crunch due to gas eating up what little spare money there might have been in our budget, we've come to rely on our games for our entertainment just a little bit more.
Maxis has released the trailer to The Sims 3 and I thought it would be fun to track down some of the trailers to the previous versions of The Sims, and their expansions.
This first video is of the initial trailer for the Sims....kinda long and boring and completely different to how the game turned out.
My favorite expansion pack for The Sims, was the final one introduced: Makin' Magic. So I have included my favorite of the MM trailer:
The Sims 2 was released in September 2004, but I started playing in late 2005. I have loved playing various challenges. Here is my favorite trailer:
You may have see this commercial on TV - 100 Million copies sold. So you see, I'm not the lone spastic dedicated fan:
Now the Sims 3 trailer has been released! A lot of programming is still needed so it's hard to know what it will be like, but it sure looks promising:
I love my Simmies!

Back to a typical week! Yeah!
The last few weeks have been so busy and crazy that it's nice to end a week looking back on a normal week. Nothing out of the ordinary. Sleep, work, come home and play video games or watch CSI or Law and Order on cable. Now it's Friday and it's my graveyard shift.
All of my 365 day pictures were done in my living room (not a lot of creativity) but I made myself laugh, so that's where it's at.
This one was just too funny! I was eating Thin Mints, thinking to myself, "what am I going to do for my daily shot?" It was late and I was ready to go to bed and hadn't considered what I would do. As I'm chomping on the cookies it hit me and I just laughed so hard when I saw the look on my face in this shot!
As a side note: this week EA announced that there will be a Sims 3 to be released next year. I have become an addict of the Sims and enjoy playing Sims 2. When I've had a run in with a fellow coworker or anybody really, I create them and then watch them drown, or get hit by a satelite or starve to death, or really any of the many forms of death in the game. President Bush has met the Grim Reaper multiple times.
Hopefully, Sims 3 will live up to the hype. March 19, EA will make the formal announcement on: http://thesims3.ea.com/
