Gameplay: November 8th 2009
I headed in to Strangetown today to play what's left of the original Grunt family. General Buzz recently remarried a much younger woman, Trista (I think it was Trista Shaw, townie, it was a while ago that I played them). Trista is heavily pregnant with their first child together and is having a hard time of it. Buck grew in to a teenage popularity sim. Trista works in the law enforcement career as a Lieutenant. The family has a dog named Whiskey, who works in the showbiz career as an Extra.
On Wednesday morning Buck cleaned the bathroom and gained a cleaning point for his trouble before heading off to school. Gen. Buzz sat down at the family's chess table to practice his skills before work. After taking care of her rapidly falling needs, Trista called all her friends to invite them to a house party. Buck quickly buckled down to do his homework as soon as he got home from school. After it was done, he bought himself a microphone and performed stand up comedy for the party guests, who didn't even bother to watch. He gained his first creativity point anyway. Gen. Buzz gained a cleaning point re-cleaning the bathroom and then smustled with the guests. He headed back to the chess table to practice some more and gained a logic point. The party was a total flop.
Thursday morning started early with Trista awakening in labor. At 3:53am she gave birth to a healthy baby girl named Wanda. Wanda has her daddy's coloring. Trista immediately arranged a nanny to come during her work hours. Gen. Buzz served a big grilled cheese sandwich breakfast for the family but mostly pigged out on it himself. Buck washed a very filthy Whiskey dog and then spent the remaining time until school spending time with Whiskey, and they became friends. It was off to school for Buck and off to her first day back at work for Trista. The nanny she hired turned out to be a child harrasser. Excellent. Gen. Buzz decided to throw a house party, even though he was due to leave for work. He figured he could trust the guests, and maybe they'd keep the nanny occupied. Whiskey was offered a promotion to be assistant to his executive producer, but he declined and was fired as a consequence. The party without any family present was a flop. After school, Buck once again plowed through his homework. When he got home, Gen. Buzz threw another party. Trista scanned the newspaper looking for her dream job, and it was in there. She quit her law enforcement job and accepted a position in the slacker career. Buck was offered a subscription to the music and dance magazine and accepted. During the party, ACR was doing it's stuff, with townies Nery Turner and Nikki Zhang woohooing in the hot tub. There was a nasty fight in the living room between Cooper Olshfski and Jay Bruty, which Cooper won, and they became enemies. The cops arrived to break up the party, but everybody had a surprisingly good time.
On Friday morning Trista managed to grab only and hours' sleep before it was time for work, and also managed to wake Gen. Buzz up early. He served another grilled cheese sandwich breakfast, of which he ate five sandwiches. He washed Whiskey, who is a quickly stinky dog. Buck called Nery Turner to chat awhile until it was time for school. It was Gen. Buzz's day off work, and he seriously spent the entire day eating grilled cheese sandwiches. Disgusting. Trista was promoted to Gas Station Attendant. Buzz served yet more grilled cheese for lunch and ate all afternoon. Trista threw a party to celebrate her promotion. She was in bed exhausted by 2pm after a long day, however. Everybody at the party had a good time. Trista was woken by Wanda screaming for a diaper change but she was no longer tired enough to go back to bed after changing her. She invited her new work colleague, Meredith Collins over to hang out so she could get to know her better. Buck did his homework immediately after school again. Gen. Buzz threw a house party and Wanda grew in to a toddler.
Trista headed to work and Gen. Buzz's party was broken up by the cops before it was even in full swing, making it another flop. Trista was promoted again to Convenience Store Clerk.
Later on, I played the Larson family in Pleasantview.
On Friday morning Jason gained membership to Sue's Secret Kitchen before flying in to the air for his first day of work as Captain Hero. Kitty baked some delicious Santa cookies for her breakfast. Afterwards, she purchased a ballet barre and promptly forgot about it. Senility, I'm telling you... Instead, she worked out on the family's old exercise machine to burn those cookie calories. She managed to sneak in about an hour of sleep before it was time for work. When Jason got home, he also worked out for a while before falling in to bed exhausted at 5pm. His sleeping schedule's all out of whack. He was up again well-rested at 10pm. Kitty brought home a work colleague, Joe Wong, and showed off her awesome drumming talent for him. Jason headed out for a midnight jog around the neighbourhood. Joe seemed much impressed with Kitty's drumming, and afterwards they played a nice game of catch in the backyard and became friends. He liked her so much he passed on a furniture discount to the family.
After catching some much needed sleep, Kitty starting Saturday morning with another session on the drums. Jason worked out some (superheros need to keep in shape) and then called some friends for a house party before heading off for another day of fighting crime. A terrible lightning storm raged all through the party and Kitty had a hankering to see just what it was like to be struck by lightning. She jumped in rain puddles all day. Lightning struck and started a fire on the wedding arch and also struck townie Joe Carr but it seemed that lightning was allergic to Kitty, though she kept trying until it was time for work.
What with the fire and one of the guests being struck by lightning, the party was a real dud. Jason was totally bummed about it and went straight to bed after work. He was up again at 9:30pm to go jogging. Kitty brought her friend Joe Wong home with her from work again and they became best friends on arrival.
Kitty spent the early hours of Sunday morning playing drums (I'd hate to be her neighbour!) Afterwards, she and Jason had a long game of catch in the backyard before heading to the bedroom for a woohoo, after which they both fell asleep. Jason only had a few hours of sleep before work, however. He threw a house party before leaving though. That's right, leave Kitty with a house full of guests when she wakes up! When Kitty awoke, she invited her best friend Joe Wong over to join the party, which ended up being a success all thanks to Kitty and no thanks to Jason. Kitty invited Joe to come back over straight away so they could spend the evening together. It was her night off. Jason brought home his work colleague, Jane Graham and hit the exercise equipment as soon as he got home. Kitty harvested her first lemons from her lemon tree, which were tasty. She put some in the burger she cooked for her dinner. At around 8pm, Jason lost his battle with old age and died in the bedroom. He left Kitty $20,000 and the deed to his vacation home in his will, as well as leaving Jaki $9100 to see her through college. Kitty was understandably inconsolable, and decided immediately to cash in her second genie wish. The genie managed to resurrect Jason without incident, and Kitty was happy to have him back regardless of their marriage now being void and their friendship over. She cashed in the double bed and bought two single beds instead, then went right back to hanging out with Joe. Jason was thrilled to be alive again, and called all his friends to invite them to a "Back From The Dead Party." During the party, Jason spent most of his time with Jane Graham and they became good friends.
Kitty spent much of the party bowling and using the bubble blower. The party scored as a roof raiser - nothing like being back from the dead to give your guests a good time!
