Sky1 mix is trying to kill me right now. Mutant X at 9. Angel at 10. X-Files at 11. Then in the afternoon Andromeda, Stargate and Trek. So much goodness on one channel. Then on Sunday they're playing the Farscape mini series *loves on Sky1* I've really spent too much time watching tv the last few days as I watched and slept my cold away and playing Sims2 with Corey of course. We've been playing when he comes home from school and my goodness the drama. We started with a family based on us, Terri, James and Corey. Creating the sims to look like us was so funny and I ended up this busty thing in a slinky dress with wavy blonde hair, which is nothing like me *g* So we played, skirted over the 'what's woohoo?' issue while Corey made the sims do that as often as possible then tragedy! Corey Sim was taken away by the social worker. There was angst in the air that night I tell you.

So we moved on and played with one of the pre loaded families. The one I later found out were destined to have male pregnancies after being abducted by aliens. Which means at the moment we have the three curious brothers, plus their four green skinned babies/children. I really need to set up my own house again. I miss my Sims1 family. The house of Kirkpatrick love will be a lonely place now, all dusty and unloved and it makes my heart ache, man. Thinking of poor Chris and his harem of pink speedoed boy toys with the homicidal Homer wandering around, matches in hand as he looks for more destruction. You just know if he had a face he'd be cackling evilly, and if you've just friended me this will make no sense, so really. Just ignore me *g*

Corey brought home a letter from Cubs on Monday which needs to be signed so he can have permission to use the air guns. I'm pretty conflicted on the idea. I'm totally against gun use but at the same time they stress that they're shooting at targets that aren't animal or people shaped and the rest of the group would be learning leaving him out if I didn't sign. Plus at least he'd be learning how to handle them correctly from a qualified instructor. What it comes down to however is the fact the thought of him holding a gun of any kind makes me shudder. Adding to the complication is James thinks it's a great idea that he learns, as does my brother and I know Corey would enjoy it. The thing is I just don't get why anyone would want to shoot at things, but that's me and I suspect he will be allowed to do it in the end.

In other news, Kay's left home again after the whole situation up there exploded again. Things have been calmish so long I should have known a big blow up was due. The thing is no one's really sure what's set it off. There's just bitter arguments, nasty text messages and hurt feelings all around at the moment with me slap bang in the middle. Things are just a mess as usual but I guess all I can do is wait it out.

YAY, good things. The parcel I've been waiting for from Amazon finally arrived. If only I had a transporter so I could send it to France now :D

Mini lame sparkly post

My plan to get things done would work better I think if I actually stayed in the house. It's hard to do things like answer comments when you're away from your computer. At least I'm here now, trying to catch up on the flist and swigging cough medicine, which is very nice by the way, and stops me coughing up a lung because that's bad.

My personal vow to keep the sparkly posts going this month took a knock with me being mostly off line, and now I'm sitting here with nothing. I could upload footage, except you know that means going into the scary place that is my footage folder and that's no good. The temptation to watch will be too much and I have to go mod at sentinel_thurs as soon as I post this.

So I raided my icon folder where I was putting together icons for all the pairings, as it is all there is are JC pairings and a bonus Lance. I did start with Chris but I sort of kept most myself as I'm greedy like that. Anyway, the icons are behind the cut.
