Meet the Cast (top to bottom, left to right)
Trumere Douglas | 32 | Professional Photographer | Simadelphia (Newcrest) | VC🔊: Trumere "Tru" is a well-known photographer celebrated in the celebrity world. She thrives in her entrepreneurial journey, running a successful studio that has gained popularity. With a passion for creativity and a love for the arts, she also enjoys letting loose at parties during her free time. Although she struggled initially, she discovered her unique talent for capturing stunning sceneries and fine art. While her parents never viewed photography as a viable career, they take pride in her business achievements. Her entire persona revolves around her work, with little focus on anything else apart from her relationship with her boyfriend. However, everything could change when she encounters a charming stranger.
Zachary "Zach" Love | 34 | Freelancing | Simadelphia | VC 🔊| : (Traits: Goofball, Bro, Maker) Zachary is a true visionary at heart. His greatest aspiration is to contribute to his community and launch his own contracting business. Currently, he juggles his responsibilities as a construction and mill worker, striving to make ends meet. Contrary to popular belief, he experienced a period of immaturity in his younger years, which led to him maturing later in life. After a significant life transformation, he finally has something to look forward to, yet he still feels distant from finding a partner to share that journey with. Despite his parents' separation, he holds love in high esteem, much like his name suggests. Zach has always been easygoing, but it seems he may have finally found someone who challenges him.
Halo Wallis | 31 | Student/Night worker | Simadelphia | VC 🔊: (Traits: Geek, Overachiever, Snob) Halo is one of Tru's closest friends. As the middle child in a family of five, she faced several challenges growing up, including sacrifices related to her education. By the time she turned 18, she found herself needing to make a difficult choice about her future. An opportunity arose when Madame Darling, the owner of a nightclub, offered her a job. Although she could have turned it down, the reality of her situation made it hard to say no. By the age of 21, she was working discreetly at the club and had saved enough money to move out of her parents' house and into her own place. Over the years, she continued her job at the club while also managing to save for her education. Now, she is focused on her studies, aiming to become a physical therapist or pursue a doctorate.
James "JB" Blake | 33 | Jack of All trade | Simdelphia | VC 🔊: (Traits: Bro, Ambitious, Adventurous) Just like his best friend Zach, James is a dreamer. He has multiple jobs ranging from freelancing and construction work with Zach. You can say he's a jack of all trades trying to reach his lifetime goal of owning a customization auto repair shop. He got his obsession for cars and how they work from his old man. James was always a workaholic and struggle turning it off. That is until his friend invited him out to a unspeakable night out
#meet the cast#rhythm of soul#i don't normally do vc#or have vc for my ocs#but this one in particular#I could just imagine lol#though finding a vc for Zach was difficult 😓#sims 4 short story#visual novel#sims 4#ts4

I’m getting soooooo tired of Dalinar’s hypocrisy, Jasnah dueling and then immediately proposing a law that outlaws it is exactly something he would do and yet for some reason it “unnerves even the callous soldier inside him”
#GROW UP#this is my Dalinar-hater-ism coming out#but it’s so contradictory that he’ll spout stuff about how ‘the most important step is the next one’#and expect his former enemies that he committed atrocities against to act like the war crimes never happened#and then he turns around and acts like Adolin killing Sadeas is a stain on his mortal soul and a sign of his moral character#Brandon stop making me hate your main characters challenge level impossible#anti dalinar kholin#rhythm of war#rhythm of war spoilers#emma’s reading tag

found a very cool park with a very cool dog
#i cannot begin to express how grateful i am to no longer be in florida#or how much it means to me have brought the most important pieces of home along with me#my boys#its grounding me watching goldfish find his favorite sun spots#and seeing kovu learn his new routines#i didn't expect the size of this park. you can't see one end from the other. there were TRAILS#Its 15 mins from my house#finding our haunts#finding our rhythm#it's been grounding#moving isnt easy for me#for any of us really#but nobody can bounce back like kovu#little by little I am seeing his love magnify my resilience. my optimism. my love for the world around me.#he's changed me in all the best ways#he is so much a part of me#I love him so much#kovu#never could've moved cross the country by myself without him#my heart and soul#my boy#kovus face#joy is stored in the spaniel#trails#parks#15 MINUTE WALK BY THE WAY.

Honeymoon Poll: LET'S DO THIS RIGHT
Husband and I talked. I was right, he didn't even have a list. But he had an idea: The Mirage in Las Vegas. Because it's smack dab in the middle of the strip. The man loves his gambling and his nights. I want him to scratch those itches, especially the night thing, as he is a legit night owl. I am very much a morning person, so I want things to do in the morning without him, too.
We've narrowed it down to three, and I've found a dark horse that I'll surprise him with next time he comes up here: Sedona!
Our choices are:
New Mexico - Hot springs spa resort featuring mineral pools, mud baths, on-site restaurant, hiking trails, *private* mineral pools for each suite. Far from civilization, closes at night.
Las Vegas - The Mirage. Swanky casino hotel featuring on site spa, pools, shops, restaurants, and bars. Right on the strip. But how to make it romantic instead of wall to wall debauchery?
San Diego - Dump it all into lodging at a super sweet resort. Scrimp and save until the day we leave so we can go into the city, go on the water, and/or go to the San Diego Zoo.
Sedona - Swanky-ass resort in cute little resort town that stays open late. I've been to Sedona. I fuckin LOVE Sedona. The beauty alone makes me want to go. But so much of Sedona's fun is outdoorsy, active stuff. I can't hike or swim or take risks like I used to.
#insertcaffeine honeymoon#poll#metastatic breast cancer#my husband is awesome#but dude is a night owl from his circadian rhythm down to his SOUL#it makes travel interesting#i want this to be his best trip ever

LADIES AND GENTLEMAN! (SETLIST)
Make way for (a band who is not) THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS!!!!!
Thank you to everyone who came out to last night's show. I didn't realize until we finished that the show went on for so long.
But it's probably because of how many songs we played.
Before we begin, here is a sort of key to explain certain things in the text below...
This means that I sang a song and no one else.
This means that I sang a song, with Chao on backing vocals.
This means that Magnifo sang a song, with me on backing vocals.
This means that I sang a song, with Magnifo and Chao on backing vocals.
This means that Magnifo sang a song, with Chao and I on backing vocals.
When "->" is shown right before a song's name, it means that we went right into that song, with little to no banter.
Alright, here's the setlist for last night's show (with fun facts for some of them):
Act I - Tape Recorder Set:
(began with Countdown Intro over the PA)
1. Put Your Head Inside The Puppet Head
Played in the original key.
During the bridge, I yelled "AWESOME GUITAR SOLO" a bunch, similar to how John Flansburgh did that once when playing this song back in 1987.
2. Cowtown
Due to people being asked to stay seated, we asked the audience to pretend that they were doing a square dance.
3. Whistling In The Dark
W/ Magnifo playing the chest-mounted bass drum.
Played in B Major, like how the Johns played it before the backing band (rather than C Major like how it's played nowadays).
Before the song started, we stated that the bass drum's only purpose was for this song.
4. Kiss Me, Son Of God
Before the song started, I made a passing reference to the time that TMBG played this song on TV, but then the broadcast stopped once they sang a certain part of the song.
5. Birdhouse In Your Soul
Played in the original key, just like how it was played back in 1989.
Before the song started, I jokingly stated that because of the different key, the song hadn't been played in nearly 35 years.
6. Particle Man
Before the song started, I mentioned that one of the characters in the song (Triangle Man) was the main character in Kiss Me, Son Of God (referencing a Linnell interview from 1990).
7. Nothing's Gonna Change My Clothes
Before the song started, Magnifo joked about how this song only applied to him and I, since we were the only Mixels wearing clothes that night.
8. The Statue Got Me High
9. I've Got A Match
Before the song started, I apologized for stating that Birdhouse hadn't been played in decades, and that I got my notes mixed up.
For some reason, the audience was booing me for this (at least until I revealed that the next song was "I've Got A Match").
10. Sapphire Bullets Of Pure Love
Introduced as '"stelluB" in reverse'.
11. Dig My Grave
Right before the song started, I stated that when you first played the album Apollo 18, you would hear this song.
12. 32 Footsteps
W/ Magnifo playing the "Special 20" harmonica.
Similar to Whistling In The Dark, I stated that the only reason this particular harmonica was created was for this song.
13. Ana Ng
W/ Chao singing the "I don't the world" part.
14. Shoehorn With Teeth
W/ Chao playing the glockenspiel.
Magnifo and Chao wore long, rolled-up carpets for hats. When asked why I didn't wear one, I said "Does this look like a head that you could fit a hat like that on?"
15. Your Racist Friend
16. -> Lucky Ball & Chain
17. Lie Still, Little Bottle
W/ Chao on the saxophone, and me using my tail as the percussion in place of "The Stick", since Gobba (the one in charge of keeping an eye on The Stick) wasn't feeling well.
18. Rhythm Section Want Ad
At least twice, I impulsively replaced "dollar signs" with "dollop signs" (dollops are the currency in the Chowder universe btw).
In the 2nd run-through of the "Olive Oil on purpose" part, I sang "You guys must be into Oasis!" instead of "Eurythmics", for some reason.
Act II - Full Band Set (began after a 10-minute intermission):
(Began with "They Might Be Giants (Alt. Version)" over the PA)
19. She's An Angel
After the song, we stated that we weren't done with the older song just yet, and that some would be played during this set.
20. Experimental Film
I introduced the song my mentioning the music video made by the Brothers Chaps from Homestar Runner.
Speaking of the Brothers Chaps, yes, I have seen the new music video for Limozeen's "Zeenin' Into The Night". In fact, I've seen it quite a few times already.
21. Why Does The Sun Shine?
No, I didn't say anything weird for the "nuclear reaction between..." part. That's Footi's thing, not mine.
22. -> Twisting
23. Older
During the "And time... is still marching on" part, I briefly made it seem like we were gonna do the long pause that TMBG does when they play Older live, but then I said that I was just kidding only a few seconds later.
24. Brontosaurus
Featuring our horn section on this and the next song (now if only I could remember all the members of the horn section. Was Burnard one of the members?).
25. Doctor Worm
W/ I Enjoy Being A Boy during the bridge.
I dedicated this song to Parnell from the Mighty Bug 5, since he also plays the drums, just like the titular Doctor Worm.
26. Absolutely Bill's Mood
Yes, I did the "thank you" bit. Why would I not?
27. -> You're On Fire
We replaced "Oh d**n" with "Oh man". I don't think anyone in the audience noticed.
28. Stuff Is Way
29. T-Shirt
Since the sound of the song is very clearly inspired by it, we did a bit of interpolating with Led Zeppelin's Moby Dick at the end.
30. -> (She Was A) Hotel Detective
Featuring the horn section again.
31. Prevenge
The "calling Mr. Pupkin" part was played over the PA, just like TMBG did when they played this song live.
32. Unforgotten
33. They Got Lost
We specifically played what I called the "medium version that was played in September 1997", rather than the slow or fast versions.
In the 3rd verse, I sang "Tony said to Brian" as a reference to some of TMBG's backing band members from the 90s.
34. Lazy
35. Sleeping in the Flowers
Played for John Henry's 30th anniversary.
While I took on Linnell's vocals in the chorus, I also did the "I've got a..." part, due to Magnifo's limited vocal range.
36. Fingertips:
Everything Is Catching On Fire
Fingertips (#1)
I Hear The Wind Blow
Hey Now Everybody
Who Is That Standing Out The Window
I Found A New Friend Underneath My Pillow
Come On And Wreck My Car
Aren't You The Guy Who Hit Me In The Eye?
Please Pass The Milk
Leave Me Alone
Who's Knocking On The Wall?
All Alone, All By Myself
What's That Blue Thing Doing Here?
Something Grabbed Ahold Of My Hand
I Don't Understand You
I Heard A Sound
Mysterious Whisper (we asked the crowd to sway their arms around during this part)
The Day That Love Came To Play
I'm Having A Heart Attack
Fingertips (#2)
I Walk Along Darkened Corridors (complete with the rocking outro)
Encore (tape-recorder returns):
37. Thinking Machine
All lights were turned off for this, since all we needed to do was sing.
This was the hardest song I tried to sing last night... mainly because I could barely keep a straight face from how stupid and silly some of Magnifo's lyrics were.
38. Mr. Me
39. Don't Let's Start
Alright, that's everything. See you again tomorrow for another Fridays picture!

Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
- William Ernest Henley
#oh my god the rhythm#i wish i could eat this poem#i am the master of my fate#i am the captain of my soul#my roman empire#poetry#invictus#william ernest henley

What they don't tell you about being able to play rock band whenever you want is that is swiftly poisons your brain so that you can no longer listen to any fun music without thinking about how it would be charted in that game.
#my stuff#Sorry i keep posting about this it really truly has tapped into the buried percussionist part of me.#And like yeah i COULD chart stuff in clone hero but it will never be the same#Do you think heaven has a copy of rock band with every song ever made by humanity.#when i die my soul is going to dedicate my time to beating 'Ancient Drum Rhythm 265' on expert difficulty.
