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: 2008-09-19 12:00 am (UTC)I like AL pretty well myself. I love the new interactions and objects, that's certain. I hope you do build some apartments and share them :). I'm not a builder, myself.
As for what I'm up to? Well, I wrote a long ramble on my non-writing journal (the first writing I've done there in aaaaaaages) and Chris and I are having a Heroes marathon. We finished Season 1 on the weekend and we have to re-watch Season 2 by Sunday night. Chris spent the day emailing resumes and shooting Sim Spade scenes and I spent the day working. I'm putting together my recap chapter tonight and writing it, and either Chris or I will be making me a new icon especially for Talk Like A Pirate Day tomorrow. We both have laptops, so will be spending the evening curled up on our couches.
Today is payday, so I've already spent all that money in my head a few dozen times. Too bad most of it goes to bills :(.
