Mood:  a-ok

Forgot to mention it, but I took a random photograph of Homewood Friends Meeting which on a whim I submitted to Friends General Conference for their photo display of meeting houses.... it's officially on permanent exhibit as of... right now (4:30 pm, September 19) at the FGC offices at the Quaker Center in Philadelphia. If you ever find yourself in Philadelphia, you can go look at it. (Obviously I'm missing the open house, but it's scheduled for... oh, the worst hours of Philadelphia rush hour, so no way was I going to try to get up there...)

But enough about me. On the subject of enormously geeky things, I found the most HIGH-larious Doctor Who parody: "The Five Doctors" as it should have been done.

In other geek news, I got the latest Sims 2 expansion pack, "Bon Voyage." It is incredibly awesome... possibly the most impressive Sims EP I've seen yet. Whereas the old version of the game's "Vacation" underwhelmed me, this new one adds a whole element of gameplay... your Sim basically travels places and in addition to relaxing and buying souvenirs, they can learn cultural customs of the people of the exotic places they visit.... it's a little more interesting than ye olde "Read a book and watch a skill bar fill" -- it's a lot more engaging for you the player to see your Sim educated... plus there's just fun stuff to do and the new item designs are gorgeous. I especially like the Far East stuff... they finally have some old fashioned Japanese looking stuff to go with the shoji-screen wall paper they provided with the game eons ago.
