twincityhacker: hands in an overcoat's pockets (Default)
What I was going to post, before I got side tracked by figure skating, was that I was that I had a stroke of strange luck while looking for locations to put my fictional town for my Sherlock Holmes Big Bang. I was mostly looking for a town that had a harbor, by a river, and had a cliff or high hill near-by. So I pulled up Google Earth, and I started on the western most region of the Jurrasic Coast and started scanning eastward.

First, I found one of the more awesome named towns in the UK: Beer, Dorset. I almost set the story there, but then I found the perfect place: West Bay, Dorset. Formally Bridport Harbour.

I have to rename it, because it's a crossover with War of the Worlds and that bodes ill for just about everything in the entire story except bacteria and viruses.

Today I got sent home early from work. The parking lot was very, very empty, so I'm hoping it's because the machinery was down, and not because there is no more work to do.

But, over the last few days, I made enough to pay for a couple of months of my medication!

The job lot I did today did not require counting, so I could plot out my Holmes BigBang, and I think I got something going here. It's not only post-hiatus, it's post-retirement. Or an attempt at a retirement. Or they're thinking about what to do next, and they are watching the hives of an aquantince to see if they really want to look after bees for the rest of their lives. They're in a rural area, and there are bees, and Holmes brought a chemistry set.

On a completely different note, I cannot get any of my custom content to load in Sims 2. = (
