With infallible timing I have contracted a cold. My paper languishes along with me. However, tomorrow night I must and shall have a completed first draft. It can suck, it can have lots of INSERT INTERESTING FACT HERE entries, it just has to go from Point A to Point D and back again. I can't believe I got a cold right when I need to have my head clear.
Embittered by the Giants' tanking in the third game of the World Series I turned to my Sims for solace and mindless amusement since I can't make my brain work. And what did I see?
Krystyn Glitterbits is feeling social and goes over to the bachelors' place. Rick, smarting from Steve's comments about being a nancy boy, has decided to go back to his roots and dons a kilt.
Krystyn checks out Rick's new threads. She's quite the fashionista, and while she liked the Victorian frock coat she seems to really warm up to the kilt look. Their relationship points shoot up.
SparkleJen also drops by Rick's house to compliment him on his sense of style. She never realized he was such a stud. Steve, disgusted that Jen has failed to notice his new black t-shirt and jeans, forswears women for motorcycles and heads off to the garage.
Meanwhile, back at Glitter Mansion, Krystyn has dinner with her housemate Gillian Anderson and their new friend Joe Detroit.
Exhausted by entertaining, the girls hit the Love Tub. There's a whole lot of washing, cuddling and general tomfoolery. Joe is left to his own devices somewhere in the house. It's a shame, they seemed to like him quite a bit, but instead of following them to the Love Tub he went off and started riding the mechanical bull. Hmmm.
All that hot tub action has the girls in the mood for love. Joe is still in the backyard working out on the bull, so they ditch him. Ain't love grand?
The Glitterbits saga ends happily. Well, except for Joe. But he probably went over to Steve's to help him with the Harley anyway. Rick is feeling better knowing chicks dig guys in kilts and has settled down to write a history of Clan McGinnis, unaware of the fact that McGinnis is an Irish name. And somewhere in another part of Simland Buffy has just discovered Britney not only isn't a virgin, she smokes cigarettes and has really crappy taste in clothes. I'm not sure how long little sister Dawn is going to be allowed to hang out with such a bad influence.
As the Simworld turns....
