The mediocre week

Not a lot of especially interesting stuff happened in the past week, but it was a bit of a weird one anyway. Also for some reason, in the post before last, photos that were uploaded in the portrait orientation, became landscape after I published the post. I don’t know...

Setting up a tank for a Giant African Land Snail

Visitors from Google: don’t forget to check out this post about setting up an improved tank.   Although I haven’t had my snail Jupiter for very long, I’ve just put together his big tank for him to grow into, so I’m doing a post about that in case anyone...

Fantasy casting: Biohazard/ Resident Evil

You may remember that nearly a year ago now I listed my casting ideas for Tomb Raider. I’ve been watching lots of Resident Evil (a.k.a. Biohazard, バイオハザード) longplays recently to get my nostalgia fix. These got me thinking about how, as with Tomb Raider, I’d love for a movie...

More about our Giant Land Snail

It’s been almost 3 weeks now since we brought home our GALS. It’s a slightly long story as to how we ended up with him so I’m gonna skip that. I might do a post about caring for Giant African Land Snails when I’ve had him for longer. It...

Giant Land Snail!

Just a quick post to tell you about our new baby! He’s a Giant Land Snail although is currently not very giant because he’s still a baby. I am alarmingly emotional about him. We named him Jupiter (or Joop-Joop casually) because his shell looks a bit like the surface...

Products I’ve loved since beginning my curly hair transition

I’ve stopped straightening my hair since the beginning of this year, and have been trying to get back to my natural curls, which have never really been seen before now as I always brushed my hair out. It was springy in the mornings, but I was always told to...

More from Appaloosa Plains

Here’s some more madness from my current game of The Sims 3. I’m really gonna try to stop screenshotting things now. It’s basically a weird survival house; this family have been burned before, because they are literal ghosts, so they “live” in this weird house to avoid anything else....

Invite the joy of The Sims into your life

I am currently in mourning for our PS3. It won’t start up for long without just cutting out. Obviously I am very bummed, not only because of the current game of The Sims I have going, but because of all the Tomb Raider saves on there and stuff. I’m...

I love The Sims

Undeniably inspired by Giant Bomb’s “13 Deadly Sims” segment, a while ago I felt the need to hunt down wherever we’d packed The Sims 3 Pets for PS3. I understand that the PS3 is a bit dated now, but I still totally recommend it. There aren’t horses and stuff...

Fantasy casting: TR 1996

A new Tomb Raider film is coming out, based on the second reboot of the storyline, the third-era games. There were previous Tomb Raider films with Angelina Jolie as Lara, who was probably the best casting option possible at the time. The new film stars Alicia Vikander, who honestly...
