The Bookacy Family Alphabet Journal

I've gotten to play some lately, which feels pretty nice! :) So I thought I'd babble on for a bit, just for the sake of it.

( This way for babble )

No, your eyes are not deceiving you: it's really picspam! I finally got to finish the main 'hood rotation that has been going for... never mind, let's not think about that. But anyway, at my Tumblr as usual, and if you strart from the top, you'll get the entries in the reverse order.

Entry by entry:

Mendoza/GilsGarbo: 1 2
Hamilton: 1 2 3
Thayer/Fuchs: 1 2

Finally, two more sims were ready to go to college.

Now it's time for a backup. After that, it'll be a tough choice between the first college rotation of generation D and some of Sal's apocalypse. It's been ages since I've played that and I think I'll run out of pictures for the next chapter. Though I'm also a bit scared always to play it, since every time I do, there's a chance I screw it up... Well, in any case, now for a backup!

... well, technically, I don't think I've downloaded a single deer. So far. But anyway. Since I've been a bit quiet lately, I thought I'd write something about what I've been doing, sims-wise and otherwise.

( Some sims, some real life )

So yeah. I think that was the long-winded way of saying what's up with me. I'm alright, and I hope you're doing alright, too!

Happy New Year, everyone! I hope it'll be a good and prosperous one!

This has become a bit of a tradition for me already. Setting a few goals for the coming year, simming-wise. But first, time to point and laugh at the old ones, right?

( How did 2014 go? )

Okay, so how about this year? Real life is still pretty unstable, I can't predict how things will be in a few months let alone towards the end of the year. So I think I'll make it simple and modest.

( Simple and modest for 2015 )

Okay, so pretty simplistic this year. Maybe if real life gets more settled later on, I can set more specific goals then. But for now, I'm keeping it vague.

Prompt: New cake flavors for the bakery (biglenny)
Words: 696
Universe: canon Alphabetia, during chapter 39
Warnings: none

Every prompt written is more than zero prompts, and I got another one done. This is kind of a "how it really happened". Well, to be honest, I didn't really think of it when writing the chapter, and I think the impression is that Cho and Nicholas came up with the makeover + new products for the bakery all by themselves. But how I now see it is more like this maybe, and I think it still fits in with the chapter. Anyway, here it is!

( Not just the look )

Happy Birthday to ndainye! I hope it's a great one!

Prompt: What's not to like? (esmeiolanthe)
Words: 636
Universe: canon Strangetown, shortly after Bim has moved in (so a little bit into the future, but not really spoilery)
Warnings: none

Nothing much to say about this one, more Strangetown. :) And cuteness too I'd say.

( What else could I possibly want for? )

Prompt: Captain Hero learning how to fly (penguingirl03)
Words: 1142
Universe: canon Alphabetia, during mid/late adulthood of generation B
Warnings: none

I've had a bit of trouble concentrating for longer than a few sentences at a time in the evenings. But apparently a few sentences at a time still eventually leads to a piece. So here's my second one. I considered cutting the beginning - I kind of started too early it feels - and if this was in a chapter I think I would. But since it's not and since I already wrote it, I figured I'd let it be.

( It has its perks )

Prompt: Trying to calm someone down (silverbelle1220, in Myshuno 2012)
Words: 967
Universe: canon Alphabetia, a takeout during chapter 36 (Chris and Cyrus' wedding)
Warnings: none

Okay, so, I haven't been terribly productive with this Myshuno thing, real life has been taking a lot of energy, so I've been distracted by Civ V mostly on my free time. If I don't step up with the writing, making a Myshuno on time will be hard... Well, we'll see. Here's the first one anyway, it's one of the old prompts from 2012.

( What a wedding )

Happy (belated) Birthday to widget_sims and mzyra! I hope you have/had a great day. I'd make you a card but apparently I'm just about falling asleep sitting up... Sorry! Have a great day regardless!
