My Cat Ate My Homework

orikesSo, last night before going to sleep I sat down and wrote out a list of all the scenes I need to shoot for the BC finale. This was good to do because it helped me work out the order of the things and how to make the story work. This afternoon when I got up, I dropped the notepad and my ipod on my computer chair along with a blanket since it's freaking cold out there today.
When I came back in after showering and getting breakfast, I discovered one of my cats sitting on top of the notebook happily shredding it to pieces. He's NEVER done anything like that before, but apparently since it was on top of the blanket he wanted to cuddle into, it was fair game.
Not only did he mutilate my notes, he also mutilated a couple of RPG characters I had in the notebook. Everything can be salvaged, but it was very irritating. I suppose it's not quite as bad as a dog having half eaten it, in which case it would be completely unrecoverable, but still. The furball is lucky he's cute. (For those that know my kitties, it was Malakhi.)
I did get a couple of the filler scenes shot today. They were relatively uncomplicated ones meant to fill in some gaps I had from the pictures I already had. I actually made a copy of my whole neighborhood folder and set it up with a new neighborhood number. Now I can do all the plotty stuff without worrying about accidentally messing anything up. There are also a couple of other reasons I did this, but I won't reveal them until I'm done and doing a final behind the scenes.
Now for some random picspam!
Hmmm. Living in an apartment complex does mean that privacy is a commodity, doesn't it?
The placeholders for the last update were the Goodie couple which comes with AL. They're actually rather sweet and I had fun playing them for a couple of days while getting the update setup. I like them enough that I finagled to get them into the adult career track so they have a chance of fulfilling their LTWs. Playing them has given me a better understanding of how apartments work, so I might give them a serious try with the next generation when they graduate. God knows when that'll be.
Anyway, how are you? Babble at me, please. Work's going to take forever tonight.

Date: 2008-09-18 11:06 pm (UTC)I have an outline for my next couple of updates, along with some dialog and notes on what needs to be done before I can shoot them. I'm almost set up for shooting the next one I need to do, I may get to that tonight.
I'm on my way to class momentarily, it's my 'fun' class of the semester so I'm doing pretty well tonight.
