I have some good news and bad news for y'all.

The good news is that I have a working laptop again! It has a new hard disk that isn't corrupted, and... it works. Living the good life, for sure.

The bad news is that I don't have any of my files :( Dad backed it all up onto an external hard drive, but he did it in some weird way that made it very very difficult to get anything off the external hard drive again (damn you, compressed tarballs). Then, just as he'd finally come up with a plan that seemed to be working, he tripped over the hard drive's cable and it crashed to the floor and now it's broken :'( :'( :'(

We do still have the actual hard drive that got corrupted, and Dad's new plan is to swap out my new, functional hard disk for that one so he can take another backup. Then I can have my files back. Hopefully.

ANYWAY, NONE OF THAT IS VERY INTERESTING! What this means for my Sims-playing is that I don't have my neighbourhood, custom content or anything. However, I'm on holidays now (um almost) and I want to play Sims :||| So, I was thinking of stuffing around and doing a shorter challenge (one I could hopefully finish fast :P Given it's taken me like, 18 months to play the last generation of the Spritas...!). And to this end, I was thinking of reviving the Senregas.

Obvs I haven't updated those guys since 2009, and I abandoned them to such an extent that I'm pretty sure I deleted the neighbourhood they lived in, lol. But I did upload the generation three Senregas to Box.net, so I was thinking of grabbing Edwina (who was the torch-holder when I left off) and just kinda rebooting the legacy. Continuing in ISBI fashion, because ISBI-ing was pretty fun.

Then when I get my files back, I'll go back to playing the Spritas/Antikvas (especially the Spritas because OMG SO CLOSE TO GENERATION TEN AHHHH). But this way, I at least get some fun playing Sims (and you get some of my ~*~magnificent~*~ entries!) in the meantime :]

PS this plan is not at all a way for me to procrastinate on studying for my exam on Monday. Nuh-uh.
