Sims 3 #4

Well the forums are abuzz tonight about a 'leek' found about the newest Sims 3 expansion pack, which might be called 'The Sims 3 Generations'.
The most prominent forum topic is http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/346420.page
But of course, it is all rumour.
One person mentioned how the SimGurus (mods of the forum) must hate all the bickering about these things when SimGuruMeatball then said 'No, quite the opposite. We love seeing how passionate you all are about what we make, it makes all the long hours and hard work worth it. ( Despite all the complaining)' which someone else then remarked 'so are you admitting that these rumors are 'true'? which is a good point.
Soo some people think it's going to be announced tomorrow, and some on Tuesday because there is a gaming conference on that day.
But I really want to know now >.< Gahh!

New legacy :D

I looked at AngelOfAFallen's idea of a 'Differences in the Family Tree' legacy and thought I'd give it a go :D so here I am.
My Sim is Fleur Varina, she's a Green Thumb, Love the Outdoors, a Hopeless Romantic and Easily Impressed aaaand Family-Oriented. Hoorah.
Well the first generation is meant to pretty much be a farmer, so here we go ^-^

Clash of the Titans

Nothing against Louise Leterrier or any of the writers of Clash of the Titans which came out last year, but against the actual Greek myth of Perseus the movie hardly matches up ... at least according to the Wiki plot.
Still, after watching it for the second time today I still enjoyed it and I did like their take on the CGI used. Hmm.
Another movie that annoys me is Iron Man (and Iron Man 2) as the writers seemed to have just pulled at random parts of the full story of Iron Man and included them in the movie (technically, Stark shouldn't get the funky generator thing in his heart until much later in the whole thing).
And Batman! Ugh! How can Harvey Dent/Two Face die when he's supposed to kill Dick Grayson's (the first Robin) parents and cause Richard to become adopted by Bruce in the first place? I hope that doesn't mean they won't be putting a Robin in to the Batman movies ...

Anywho, rant over.

Unusually Small Doors

Today I worked with Dad and my sister Catherine in Canary Wharf. On the train back Dad handed me his Kindle (which I'm really jealous of, by the way) and showed me an interesting fact.
We've always seen the tiny doors in Petworth on the way to my university, they hardly reach your waist some of them. We always assumed that they're so small simply because, then people were small. Turns out they're so small just because in those days doors were expensive (like windows) and so the smaller they were, the less money it cost to make them.
Sounds far more logical than our short-people theory. After all, stooping is free.
