| Sims Online, Part 2 |
| 02.04.04 (11:27 am) [edit] |
OK I finally did play this thing. For $10 a month, I can play Sims in a mmog environment (with the first month being free). Unfortunately....I don't like it as much as the offline Sims(not even close!). Wanna know what sucks about Sims? You spend most of your time bringing up your skills without a fast forward button. So I did get pretty bored from time to time. Also, one thing I reaaaally love about offline Sims are all the funny interactions between Sims to bring the social levels up. Well in online Sims, you don't get much of an opportunity to use that. I see people just doing random interactions with themselves (for example, they can dance by themself), but the only thing I really see is the hug interaction, mainly because it brings your social levels up the fastest. Also- there are no kids in Sims(dunno if thats a bad thing tho LOL)...but one thing I have a ball with is the jobs! In Sims online, you get the opportunity to follow your Sim to work and work them! That is probably the most addicting part of the game, at least for me. :)
Sims online is improving constantly tho, so hopefully, in time, it will get better. :)

I hope he doesn't get mad at me for posting this, but there's this guy I met on here, [url=http://diamant.tblog.com/]Diamant[/url]. He's this really adorable guy so of course I had to talk to him. (Heh. Im bad, so smack me) Anyway, I got around to reading all his entries on his Blog and I got a little addicted, and started reading all his archives. Anyway, by the time I finished reading everything, I confess..I was a little teary eyed, contemplating about love, aspirations and other abstract details of my life. I thought about all the hearts I broke and those who broke my heart....
*sigh*
It's a real thought provoking site. Check it out, but bring a box of tissues with you before you go.

| Sims Online |
| 01.29.04 (5:37 am) [edit] |
Sims online has been a bit controversial since it arrived. The Game Developers Conference even has a seminar on "Learning from the Sims Online" so that other game developers can learn from the mistakes Maxis and EA made. The past few months though, I have heard that Maxis has made significant changes to it so I finally ordered the game. I figure it will keep me busy until Sims 2 arrives, then I can continue to have absolutely no life.
I'm sure going to miss hacking into the game though. With the current Sims, we can decompile the code and change the settings, like letting the kids smack each other or allowing other Sims to have actions that they normally cannot have, such as dancing or fighting. I love making them fight btw. God I really need to stop playing this.

| Germany and LaRouche |
| 01.29.04 (5:31 am) [edit] |
|
I was at the Reichstad (I think its an IMAX center now. LOL) in Berlin, Germany and there were a lot of people protesting. At first, I thought it may have been something like a labor or union strike....so I was pretty surprised to see that people were protesting for Americans to vote for 2004 Democratic Candidate [url=http://www.larouchepub.com[/]Lyndon LaRouche[/url]. There are some really cute guys there so how can I resist? LOL. I spoke to a few of the protesters and assured them that I would consider it. I kept my word after returning back to the states, because I did visit his website and read up on LaRouche. This guy seems pretty cool but geezus he is really, really pissed off. It shows in his writings, but I do respect his passion.

Im going to Berlin with my bf today! I have yet to surprise him but I'm leaving in 30 min to pick him up. I'm excited...I've never been to Berlin, but I have been to Frankfurt. This time, I will stay away from the beer, and I will not wrap myself in bubble wrap and spend the night on a park bench. Tha is a promise. (HA. A story for another blog day...)

| crushes, part 2 |
| 01.22.04 (4:11 pm) [edit] |
This crush is getting kinda bad. He knows it. He sends me these cute emails and SMS messages to my cell phone everyday. Im so confused. I guess I like being with my bf on one hand..but on the other hand, my crush is so much fun to talk to. I can't seem to keep my distance from him...I dunno what to do...

Is it normal to have a crush on another guy if I have a boyfriend? I hear all the time about the psychology behind this....that I'm missing something in my relationship if this is happens. I guess it also depends on how far the crush goes :)
*sigh* But he is sooo cute and sweet. I wish I hadn't met him! LOL. Has this ever happened to anyone? To the point where I have problems not thinking about him?

| Berlin and WW2 |
| 01.20.04 (10:25 am) [edit] |
My boyfriend is turning 31 this week and he's a bit depressed. I've decided to shock the hell out of him though, and try and make this the best birthday ever.
My bf is from Russia, and ever since we've met, he's always talked about his WW2 veteran grandfather, about Berlin, bringing down Hitler, etc etc. Although I DO tend to doze off from time to time whenever he overdoes the info (come on, I can only tolerate listening to so much..), I thought it would be nice to take my bf on a historic trip to Berlin. *tell me Im a nice girlfriend!* The best part though, is that he doesn't know about this. I've already spoken with his boss, and this Friday, I'm going to walk into his work with his suitcase and tell him that we're off to Berlin, Germany. I can't wait to see the look on his face. LOL.
This trip is costing me a pretty penny though, so I guess I can kiss my SGI station goodbye for now...not to mention my plans for buying a Mac...or Maya for the Mac...hmm...hope this is worth it....

| canon rebel d300 |
| 01.10.04 (11:37 pm) [edit] |
I am a notoriously bad photographer. Recently, a photography enthusiast friend of mine talked me into buying a digital Canon Rebel EOS 300D SLR...
Say what? Being a girl who can hardly use a disposable camera, I was a bit skeptical. I purchased a digital camera a few years ago, a Casio one. Most of the pics on there ended up shakey and odd...not to mention, distorted. That camera had the ability to take the ugliest, most hideous images of people. Frustrated, I started reading a bit about cameras. To make a long story short, I pretty much read that the better the camera, the better the pic....oh, and watch the angle, and the lens. After much frustration though, I splurged and bought the $1000 Canon...the pic on the left indicates my first attempt (pic of myself with the canon rebel), and the pic on the right is after a little bit of practice (on my annoyed cat). This camera is nothing short of a miracle!

im bored at work..
i was looking at video cards today...i'm getting ready to build my computer, and lo and behold, i'm floored by the alienware extreme edition ge fx 5950 ultra 256mb. (wow. what a mouthful). i admit, im a total sucker for technology. i find that rather odd too, since i grew up with a father who thought the world of (and still does think the world of) the DOS OS....
*go gentoo linux!*
most my female (hell, and male) ask what linux even is. DAMN. can you imagine living in such a world where windows is the only OS? unfortunately, such is the reality for most people....
im excited...i signed up for a graduate level course in game dev! one of my hobbies is creating my own games..mainly role playing/adventure games. the only problem is that i'm not the strongest programmer...i know c, c++, but these days, everything is done using open gl libraries - which means more learning for me! lucky for me though, my boyfriend is a hardcore computer geek and would *love* nothing more than to sit on his ass and program for me. heh heh. hey, im an artist though, and i favor the creative side of game dev, so gimme 3ds max anyday!
ok enough about technology. im beginning to bore myself.

| funny friend or foe? |
| 01.06.04 (3:27 am) [edit] |
i have a hard time understanding one of my friends - i'll call him "john". john suffers from extreme male pms. his erratic and bizarre mood swings often make him lose all his social skills, not to mention, his common sense. we'll be carrying on a friendly and dandy conversation when suddenly, he feels the need to act pompous and haughty:
[i'm gonna make a million dollars next month!! i really feel it this time, janna! i know a friend of a friend who makes a shitload selling amway products]
[i also plan on cutting my own rap album next month. shit, do you know how much puffy makes? yea, rappers get paid a lot these days]
[i'm writing a childrens book too. i'm not just going to profit off the sale of the book either! its going to be made into a line of toys, i'm going to have it made into a movie, and maybe even a video game if i have time. it's kind of like, harry potter, you know?]
i unfortunately, do not have the balls to tell him how stupid he sounds. i usually ignore this though, and let john ramble...i mean, he can dream, can't he? but sometimes, this isn't enough for him. john then goes into phase 2, narcissism:
[i can't get rid of all these hot supermodels! they all want me and i have to reject them all because i already have two girlfriends and they both want to marry me]
[you know you fucking want me]
[i grew up with so many losers. they all thought they were the shit. now they all wish they could be me]
the narcissism phase usually turns into phase 3, flat out bullshit:
[i'm good friends with will smith. i just called him on my cell phone in fact]
[i got invited to attend the academy awards this year. but i don't know if i'll go since i'm supposed to work]
[college is for stupid people. i got a perfect score on my SAT.]
ok...so at this point, i'm thinking that it would be rude on my part to confront him, but i'm starting to think i should. before i get the chance to, he enters phase 4, which is God Mode:
[you know, you're almost as half as intelligent as i am]
[i told you indirectly that you were supposed to think about me first, HELLO?!!!]
[i like talking to you because our friendship is a good combination, but my girlfriends are way hotter than you]
it usually ends after that, and a week later, john is a totally sweet person. i really wonder what it is that makes him act like that. i have tried to confront him on occasion, but that seems to trigger the pms, so i now i've learned to keep my distance. i know people think i should blalantly lash out and put him in his place, but believe me, there are reasons i don't. despite all the stories he says, i know the real john. the guy is genuinely depressed. he's a scrawny, simple minded guy who never gets much attention to begin with, not to mention - most girls are quite cold to him. although i would never actually tell him this, i don't even believe he has a girlfriend. however...he is a lonely, sad soul, and i can't help but feel a little compassion.
