I decided that the first house I built in The Sims 3 — which was mostly a rough virtual realisation of the “dream house” I had been working on bit by bit in my head for the last several years — was too big. It’d probably be fine in real life, but considering how slowly Sims walk/how quickly time passes in The Sims, it was impractical. So I went back into “Edit Town” mode to build what’s sort of a miniaturised version of that mansion on a smaller lot — the original one was built on that huge 60 × 60 lot next to the Landgraabs.

Two hours later the game froze. Well, maybe not completely frozen. I could still move the cursor and the game music kept playing song after song, but any input made by me was ignored. Anyway, the point is I just lost about two hours of my work in The Sims, and I’m pissed. Don’t know why it happened. Maybe 3 has a few problems with Snow Leopard, because I hadn’t had the game crash back in 10.5.

At least I had only gotten to building an empty shell of a building and putting a bit of furniture in place to get a rough idea of how big the house is going to need to be, rather than customising every single thing as I went along. Then I would’ve been even more pissed. Note to self: save.

Seriously, I want to punch people in the face who use bluetooth earphone things

I want to saw off the arms of those who use Bluetooth headsets — or headsets in general — but still hold their phones in their hand. Why are you using them in the first place‽ The headset’s supposed to free up your hand for other things!
