Spring family vacation in Sulani. 🌴🌞

3.116 What if

One morning, I got up, determined to ease back into the SimTube game. I wasn't quite ready to make another video, so I opted to read and respond to comments, mostly apologizing for my absence. Scrolling and reading through them, I began to understand why my one video performed so well. The comments were predominantly from thirsty girls shooting their shots. It was kinda weird knowing women drooling over me fueled my success, but it got me paid, so... Sophia would have a field day with that one.

I heard her march downstairs, enter the bathroom, and turn on the tub. Minutes later, the toilet flushed. Then, the crying started. Though I loved and admired her tenacity, I couldn't take much more of her heartbreak. The treatments should have worked already. Was the doctor wrong? It felt like we were dealing with infertility, not low fertility. Suddenly, a heaviness accompanied by a random yet à propos thought fell on me. What if she wasn't the only one with a problem? What if I was the reason she hadn't gotten pregnant yet? As chilling as that thought was, it gave me a weird sense of hope. If I had a problem, maybe a doctor could fix it. I got up immediately and left the house as quietly as I could because I didn't want to Sophia hear me leaving while she was in there bawling her eyes out. I went to the hospital to get my fertility checked, and it turned out I too had low fertility. Of course I did. Nothing in my life was ever easy. The doctor gave me the same schpiel: try the treatments blah blah blah...artificial insemination yada yada yada...adoption and surrogacy womp womp womp. We were painfully aware of our options, but of course he didn't know that. I hadn't given up hope that we could birth our own child, but I knew Sophia wouldn't want us spending more time and money on those treatments, especially since we both needed them now. I told the doctor we would probably want to do IVF and asked if I could go ahead and leave a sample, and he said yes.

When I got home, Sophia was entertaining Chris Michaelson. We lived next door to them now, and he came to welcome us.

"Luca! Where'd you go?" she asked.

"Uhhh...I'll tell you later."

Seeing him under these circumstances reminded me Celeste had mentioned their children were adopted. I chatted and caught up with him for a bit, but when Sophia was out of earshot, I got down to business and asked him about his experience with adopting children. I hadn't realized Celeste was a trans woman, so they had always planned to adopt. Though their experience differed greatly from ours, I still enjoyed hearing about his life and the joy his children brought him. Time had flown by crazy fast, though. When I first met them, Orion, their daughter, was just a baby. Now she was in high school! And their son, Atlas, was married. I still felt as young as I was back then, but my birthday came barreling around the corner right behind Sophia's. Mama used to look at Less and I and jokingly ask us to stop growing. I totally understood what she meant now.

Speaking of Less, she texted me, inviting us to bar hop with her and some friends. First of all, since when did she have friends? Secondly, weren't we too old to be bar hopping like university students? Third, I didn't feel like being social. I had some potentially devastating news to share with my wife, and who knew if she would be up for it. Unfortunately for me, Sophia was nearby when my notification chime went off, and I made the mistake of groaning after reading the message. Naturally, she asked what was wrong, and I told her of the invite. She was in a good mood at the time and insisted I accept.

"Maybe that guy she was swooning about will be there," she said.

I did want to meet that schmuck and see what kind of spell he put on my sister. I also didn't want to ruin Sophia's good mood with my news, so I replied and told Less we'd be there. The tears could wait until tomorrow.

Zayn Malik is gearing up to release his long-awaited fourth studio album, and he’s co-produced the upcoming LP with Grammy-winner Dave Cobb, Rolling Stone can exclusively confirm.

In working with Cobb — one of Nashville’s most accomplished and in-demand producers — Malik will explore new sonic territory and lean into pairing his unmistakable vocals with live instrumentation. The soulful singer-songwriter had spent several years writing the album at his home in rural Pennsylvania before enlisting Cobb’s help as a co-producer. There’s no release date or title yet, but the album will be Malik’s first on new label, Mercury Records.

“What got me about Zayn was his voice, you can hear love, loss, pain, triumph and humanity in it. I feel as if this record is removing the glass from his spirit directly to his fans,” Cobb says. ��Zayn has really created his own universe on this record, he really has no fear and is speaking straight from his soul.”

In an interview on Call Her Daddy last year, Malik teased the upcoming album a bit, saying, “I’m doing a record I don’t think people are really gonna expect. It’s a different sound for me. And it’s got some more narrative going on, like real-life experiences and stuff. My daughter’s mentioned in there a couple of times.”

Malik’s last album, Nobody Is Listening, was released in 2021. Since then, he’s shared a couple of scattered singles, including “To Begin Again” with Ingrid Michaelson, a cover of Jimi Hendrix’s “Angel,” and last year’s “Love Like This.” Back in January, Malik collaborated with the up-and-coming Pakistani group Aur on a reimagining of their hit single, “Tu Hai Kahan.”

As for Cobb, his credits include hit albums and critically acclaimed projects with Chris Stapleton, Brandi Carlile, Lady Gaga, Jason Isbell, Lori McKenna, and Sturgill Simpson. More recently, he’s teamed up with some classic rockers like Slash and Sammy Hagar, as well as Barry Gibb, Greta Van Fleet, Gavin DeGraw, and William Prince.

I hate asking so many questions, but so far, which one of your OCs has received the most development or has the most lore?

I’m making a random guess that it’s Kauri because I love him, but if I’m wrong, please let me know

Danny Michaelson probably has the most character development and lore as far as storyline, with Kauri and Chris tied for second.

As far as the most lore that doesn't actually get written, probably Krista. She's a background character but I know her entire life story honestly.

And don't feel bad for asking questions! I am a writer, and without attention I wither into a small shrug and lose my leaves.

Christopher Michaelson

Age 36 years old, the same age as Celeste. They went through high school together.

Tried to go by the name 'Topher' in high school but it didn't stick. He is just Christopher, not Chris.

He works in the tech industry like Celeste. He has his own gigs but he also helps out with Celeste's non profit work.

He's the one who likes to match his outfits to Celeste's. He says she's so beautiful, he just wants to be a nice accessory for her. He's so supportive of her and everything she does.

He is already planning on adopting again after Orion. He wants a big family.

British singer-songwriter Zayn Malik has signed with UTA for representation across music, film and television, among other areas, Variety has exclusively learned.

The former One Direction member’s last full-length effort was 2021’s “Nobody Is Listening,” and before that, he released 2018’s “Icarus Falls,” and 2016’s “Mind of Mine,” which gave way to the chart-topping and R&B-leaning single, “Pillowtalk.” Zayn is currently working on his fourth studio album, according to UTA.

In the years following “Nobody Is Listening,” Zayn released three songs; the most recent being his November cover of Jimi Hendrix’s “Angel,” in honor of the late guitarist’s birthday, and “To Begin Again,” a 2021 collaboration with Ingrid Michaelson. His previous duet partners include Taylor Swift, Chris Brown, Snakehips, M.I.A., Becky G and Sia, and he has also contributed to soundtracks alongside Taylor Swift on “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever,” for “Fifty Shades Darker,” and Zhavia Ward on “A Whole New World,” from the 2019 live-action “Aladdin” reboot.

Outside of music, Zayn has collaborated on collections with fashion houses such as Giuseppe Zanotti and Versus Versace. Throughout his career, he has garnered a Billboard Music Award, American Music Award, MTV VMA and two Brit Award nominations.

Zayn joined One Direction in 2010 and contributed to four out of five of the boyband’s hit albums including “Up All Night,” “Take Me Home,” “Midnight Memories” and “Four,” all of which racked up multiplatinum awards across the world. The singer announced he was leaving the band in 2015, and the year following, the group went on indefinite hiatus.

Zayn is represented by Nicola Carson (ZenKai Management) and Taryn Zimmerman.

Meet the Michaelsons | A Sims 4 Townie Makeover

Celeste (Les) and Chris met working at the same startup. They couldn't believe how much they had in common when they first went out for coffee together including the fact that they both went to Foxbury Institute. After they got married, they decided to leave the city and move to San Sequoia to be closer to Les' overprotective and often overbearing dad, Sebastian. Following their big move, they adopted Atlas and promptly began spoiling him rotten. Dreaming of having an even bigger family, they adopted Orion a few years later. Noemi Bailey, Les' younger cousin, an aspiring student with no idea what to do with her life, also has moved in. Together, they make up one big nerdy and happy family!

Let's see how far I get with posting gameplay with this family. I've moved them to a house and now want to move them again. In the process of redecorating a new house...smh...

Five Unforgettable Films by Randall Miller

Randall Miller, a longtime director, is thought for his off-kilter comedic fashion and character-driven films. As anyone who's got directed mainstream, big-budget Hollywood movies in addition to a amount of unbiased movies, Miller only normally takes on projects that connect a further meaning and will resonate with audiences all around the planet.

“I make films with heart,” reported Miller. “I want people to have the ability to connect with my movies and find the which means in them.”

Honoring Miller’s career, let’s take a seem back again at some of his most acclaimed tasks.

“Bottle Shock”

“Bottle Shock” stars Alan Rickman as being a snooty British sommelier who arrives to California wine country inside the 1970s to find what all the excitement is all about. The business in California is younger, as well as wine enterprise stays pretty snobby regarding the superiority of French wines. On the other hand, with Rickman on their own side, a father and son winemaking staff, played respectively by Bill Pullman and Chris Pine, proves the snobs erroneous. This feel-good movie which has a rocking 1970s soundtrack can be a beloved tale of the gatherings that place Napa wines to the map.

“CBGB”

Another collaboration with Alan Rickman, “CBGB” catalogues the increase of the famed punk rock location in seventies Ny. Like “Bottle Shock,” the film is about an underdog going from the percentages and coming out on top rated. For virtually any music connoisseur, this film is often a must-see.

“Marilyn Hotchkiss’ Ballroom Dancing & Charm School”

“Marilyn Hotchkiss’ Ballroom Dancing & Charm School” stars an amazing cast - Marisa Tomei, Robert Carlyle, John Goodman, Mary Steenburgen, and Danny DeVito - in the touching film about love and loss. The movie follows widower Frank (Carlyle) who helps Steve (Goodman) fulfill his dying desire to reunite by using a former love interest, Marienne (Steenburgen). Simultaneously, Carlyle finds his own love: Meredith (Tomei). This love story may have you crying and rooting for the characters simultaneously.

“Nobel Son”

This dark comedy can be a third Rickman-Miller collaboration. In it, Rickman plays Eli Michaelson, a Nobel Prize winner who receives the award’s handsome payout. Having said that, everything goes incorrect when a criminal kidnaps his son and holds him for ransom for that prize money. This dysfunctional family is place to the test when things are on the line. “Rickman was always brilliant to work with, and Jody and I miss him dearly,” explained Miller. “’Nobel Son’ was some of the very best work of his occupation.”

“Class Act”

Miller’s first movie would be a prince-and-pauper tale of switched identity. The movie stars Kid N Play in this absurdist take on a high school comedy romp. Still in his twenties, Miller made his first film for Warner Bros. The film can be a love letter towards the steady diet of great John Hughes movies he was raised on. Repeatedly through the years, he has been approached about a remake.

Sara Bareilles and Other Musicians Rally to Save Rockwood Music Hall

by Everynight Charley Crespo

June 24, 2023

On June 30, the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter will headline the first in a series of benefit concerts over the summer at the independently-operated music venue in New York City.

Hi, I’m new to your page and I’m loving these snippets but I’m so confused as to where to start to understand where all these characters come from (Jameson, Kauri, Taren…?) and the general world build and how this pet thing works here? I’d love to know where to start and in what order to read if you have the time :)

My stories are original. My characters and stories are all OCs except for certain characters that my friends have let me borrow, which will be noted in the piece if so!

I usually tell people to start with Daniel Michaelson's Story, standalone abduction/captivity horror and recovery, with a narrative that is largely complete.

Chris - What We Can't Make Right - begins with a teenage boy showing up in the middle of a rainy night in California, and from there talks about recovery, PTSD, and surviving the worst things you can imagine and finding a family after the loss of yours

Erase to Control - Kauri - is the story of a wealthy man's custom-made victim, his escape, and how he discovered himself

Little More Than a Chance collects related stories of a safehouse in the Box Boy Universe and its inhabitants.

Signs of the Sea is about a mer boy captured for scientific experimentation and his unusual bond with one of the researchers studying him

Killan - What Makes a Monster - is a fantasy universe where a boy becomes a sort of Frankenstein's monster and survives a world that fears and is horrified by him
