Greetings from the Omnigraphic Blogopticon. On view are vile sticky things dragged from the attic, snarky commentary on the world at large, and all-encompassing ennui. All that and a weird rubbery smell. A horrible time will be had by all.

The Horrible Sim Saga Continues

Edward's life continues to spiral amusingly down into the sewer. He had no luck getting that fantastic new laboratory job yesterday. He's also finding it harder and harder to make quality snogging time with both the women he's somehow managing to keep. Don't know how long this can continue before they find out about each other. He's probably secretly hoping for a catfight or maybe a threesome, the sleaze.

Unfortunately he couldn't keep his mouth shut to Cassandra about his job search, so she's decided to "help". We should be thankful that her idea of "helping" doesn't at this moment involve sharp objects.

She first offers to let the lab techs see her film collection. You know, the icky ones she makes with her friend Betony. This doesn't get the reaction she expected, mostly because they've already downloaded her little cinematic forays off the internet and at least one of the guys is having nightmares and might need medication.

Making out with or groping all the employees is her next option. Or maybe it was the same one multiple times--she can't quite tell them apart yet. She also makes a few creative suggestions. "Ya got a big brush for my bowl?"

Of course Edward turns up and doesn't exactly accept her explanation that she's really helping him with his employment situation, just in a more "hands-on" kind of way than most people. So he stomps away, furious.

He does kinda have some nerve getting angry at Cassandra, considering he has two women.


Then Maggie presents him with a little surprise. "Blast!" he thinks. "Where do these things keep coming from?"

Topping off his day, his nemesis Ebenezer turns up. You remember, he's the one who built the time machine that sent Edward to the 21st century. He decided to come forward about 100 years and check up on him, mainly to make his life more of a hell than it already seems to be right now.

To cheer himself up, Edward makes a little trip to Lady Pokingham's new brothel, wiping out his bank account. Perhaps he should take up robbing banks.
