Home again
I'm back. Still married, almost two weeks later (don't laugh - some people don't make it that far). We had a great, relaxing honeymoon, and I even have a (very) faint tan. We arrived back home earlier today, and I spent the evening replacing my hard disk and restoring my computer. Next up: resintalling all those sim games again. Oh, it's a sweet misery.
Needing a sim fix, I went through my vast sim photo folder while I was updating my virus software. I thought I'd share.
Just a typical scene, but that's the whole point. I've missed all those little mundane things they do. And hey - they've cleaned up all of those books they usually have piled on the floor! I'm so proud.
No caption... but feel free to invent your own, if you want. ;)

As a sidenote (and a "hey, check out what I'm reading right now..."), they do a lot of glomping and other full-body contact in Strangers in Paradise. Reading that has been getting me pumped to start writing again. It has lots of great characters and relationships. I'm finding it really inspiring.

Hope you had a marvelous honeymoon! :D

Woooo welcome back! :]
Ripp: Wow..Johnny's ass is RIPPED.
Johnny: I'll...I'll just pretend I didn't hear that.
See what I did there? :P

Here's your caption: "So, Phi... you think he's looking extra toned today?"
"Mmmmmhmmmm..."

Welcome back! I'm glad you enjoyed your honeymoon! :)
(And good luck re-installing all your computer's software, including the Sims. Having done that twice last month, I know how boring it is, though I had a book nearby while I waited.)
Hee! It amuses me how the three of them are supposed to be watching TV, but their eyes are focused on something else (and as the LOLCat people say, "I see what you did there, Ripp!")

It seems like hell all that reinstalling, I know, because I've done that only a month ago (all EPs + all SPs) when I got a virus on my PC and I couldn't get rid of it, so reinstalling of Windows seemed like the best option. But don't worry, it takes about hour or two. (I know, it's hell too much).
Anyway, my comment on the picture:
Ripp: Johnny definitely IS a dickhead. I mean, why would he be standing in front of the TV when he doesn't really watch it? Or maybe the rays help his green skin. Whatever.

Believe it or not, as fair as I am, I do tan... eventually. It takes forever though. I remember back before I had kids I decided I would devote an entire summer to getting as tan as I could and I did! I actually shocked people. ;)
Of course, it hasn't happened since. :P

Getting tanned isn't as much fun as it used to be before we found out how much the sun liked to kill us with all it's death rays.
I've gotten a few really bad burns due to forgetting sunscreen so now I'm way more careful. If I'm gonna be working out in the yard I aways put on sunscreen. And bug spray. Can't forget the bugspray. Mosquito's love me!
Cute picture. I love when one sim stands right in front of another one while they're watching TV. And the sims that turn the TV off while your sim is watching it. That always makes me laugh.

I'm beginning to think you're in my apartment, going through my comics when I'm not around!
(PS- have you checked out Echo yet?)

Johnny: Uhm no.
Ripp: Then why do you think I can see thru you?
This is something my dad always says when his view is blocked. :P
WELCOME BACK!!! You're a married woman now! CONGRATS!!! I can tan pretty well, but due to my own stupidity, I tend to burn first. :P
(PS, I don't want to sound like I'm an ad whore, but I recently started a little story thing for pixel_trade. I'm just saying that you may be interested in taking a peek. :D)

What can I say? You clearly have excellent taste in comics. I read a lot of graphic fiction (probably more than text-only fiction), and I'm at the beginning of another giant binge right now. I'm ordering a whole pile of stuff that I haven't gotten around to reading yet.
I haven't checked out Echo, but I plan to. I've only ever read bits and pieces of SiP in the past, but now I'm going through the entire series in pocket book form, and I'm loving every page. It's great stuff.
So what else are you into? I'm a big fan of Optic Nerve by Adrian Tomine. That's probably my favourite series at the moment.
I've got tons more but for starters...
SiP is weird for me, because I absolutely love Katchoo, and I started reading it around the time Francine went to lunch with Rachel. I still have mixed feelings about how it ended but it ran too damn long and clearly NEEDED to end. (I've cried like a little bitch over that book more times than I can count). Echo is sloooooooow starting but I think it's going to be good. It's just the concept needs the time to bloom.
I'm reading Buffy Season 8, but that's just junk food. If you haven't already definitely check out Dykes to Watch Out For (Also by Alison Bechdel).
And thanks to Scans_daily I have a huge list of Batman stories/trades to hunt down.

It's cute when Sims just chill and watch the world go by.
