thessalianLeaving predominantly aside the current 7th Sea debacle (except to mention that apparently, I'm expected to run my own damn session of 7th Sea to kill Alison if I want such to happen, which I personally feel is totally fucking nuts), it's not been a bad day so far.
I did roast pork Sunday lunch, and it turned out really well.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
weaselbitch enjoyed the crackling very much, and had many giggles over the sheer loudness of the crunching. My next big culinary thing is going to be a marinaded roast of beef; I might even try roast potatoes if I can figure out how the fuckers work with beef -- last time I did that, it was with chicken and I had instructions. Well, there's the internet.
Affils discussions continue apace. There's nothing quite like sitting in a pub on a Saturday evening with a notepad, a glass of wine, a cigarette, a collaborator and a project worth working on. Now all I have to do is write those notes up with the appropriate expansions, and we're away. So far we've got an idea what we want the site to look like, an expansion on the Signature [whatever] idea and a couple of sidebars for the core book. This is working out quite nicely, all told.
But please, people -- fic-stuff in by 1 September! If you don't think you can do it, let me know so I can do the filler stuff myself, please?
And amusement on the Sims 2 front -- Mod the Sims 2 people came up with a really interesting hacked cauldron cheat thing and something with which I had great fun earlier today -- Buyable Fire. Seriously -- you place this invisible item on various squares in Buy Mode, and when you return to Live Mode, those squares catch fire. I set up a family in Pleasantville, locked them in a room, and burned the mother down. However, one teen Sim survived the inferno, so I redesigned the small house into a grotty little squat. She lived in it as a teen on her own relatively happily, managing to hold down an after-school job and keep her grades high. Hacks are a godsend. Unfortunately, the cauldron seems to disallow you to use a mobile phone, go to Uni lessons or do assignments. So I'm going to have to go back to the modder and ask what the fuck. Small price to pay. This is so amusing.
