genlisaeI was going to write this all out in entirely song lyric quotes because it is Lyric Sunday. (It has been pointed out to Mathew and I that a large portion of our conversations are either song lyrics or quotes from movies/TV/games leaving everyone else kind of baffled what were are talking about ... and when they aren't one of the above they trigger one of the above and next thing you know I am singing bad 80's pop ... yeah. Today we will speaking to each other EXCLUSIVELY in lyrics and quotes just to see if it is possible to do it.) Fortunately for you guys I couldn't think of an appropriate title which kind of ruins the whole thing. So you get English. More or less.
Right!
Last weekend the list in my head looked something like:
1. Update CD.
2. Finish extracting all lots and sims from the Pleasantries hood.
3. Learn how to slave a second harddrive to a borked MB (Because the CD drive hasn't worked in FOREVER. It works in other computers, just not mine).
4. Copy ALL needed data to the second harddrive.
5. Bribe Mathew to replace my motherboard.
6. Reformat.
7. Reinstall EVERYTHING from backup on second hardrive.
8. Rebuild ENTIRE Pleasantries hood and all sims.
9. Cry. A lot. Most likely while realizing I forgot to save stats and CC lists for several sims that I now need to guess/hunt down in order to recreate them.
10. Have mini-mental breakdown on about week 3 of the rebuild process.
11. Get sick of the whole damn hood in the process of rebuilding and ignore the whole thing for several more weeks.
12. Finally get my act together and get the next update proofed and finished.
... You can see how this hasn't been done yet?
Well! We can now take a giant red marker and cross off that whole damn list! (Okay, don't actually do that, unless you have like a dry erase marker and a CRT monitor. If you DO have a dry erase marker and a CRT monitor, go right ahead. For everyone else, just pretend.)
Thanks to the miracle of *poof!* Magic! caused by "I wonder what happens if I ..." and actually getting an update done on CD, this week's list now looks like:
1.Learn how to slave a second harddrive to a borked motherboard.
2. Make really quick backup copies of the stuff I need on the second harddrive, just incase.
3. Bribe Mathew to replace my motherboard.
4. Reformat.
5. Reinstall everything from backups.
6. Get the next update of Pleasantries proofed and finished.
7. Celebrate this whole process only taking a few days instead of weeks!
Which means, dear secret maker of secret 21, they are coming back really soon!
:D
Oh, I am also keeping the second harddrive. Just don't tell Mathew. It is technically his "spare", but you know, it has been just sitting there, all pretty and shiny in it's packaging and mine has just been getting fuller and fuller ... I'm sure he will understand.
