So... things are busy now that classes have started again. I have been able to catch up on watching stuff, though--I saw a Ducky-centric NCIS ep from this most recent season that was heartbreaking but very satisfying (I'm nowhere near caught up with the whole series, and I'm not even going to try), and I've been seeing bits and pieces of Hustle ( Read more... )

So, it's been confirmed that Dan Green and Eric Stuart are returning as Yugi and Kaiba in the English dub of Yu-Gi-Oh: Dark Side of Dimensions! No word on the others, but, let's face it, these were the most important ones for me, and were the dealbreakers on whether or not I was going to see it. The plot does fall flat and Kaiba's ( Read more... )

So, I'm back at college now, looking after the birds again. I did catch a couple Clefairy over the weekend while I was back in my hometown, and Albert, my Pidgeot, and I temporarily were members of one of the local gyms in the clock tower--

What are all the things I learned while being on my own for a week at an animal behavior conference? Well, just some of the things include…

* Always check your trash cans for opossums. This wasn’t a presentation, but a life lesson I learned the first morning when I stumbled upon this guy:

Still been playing more Pokémon Go all week! Taking over the science building gym had become a daily thing for me--I’ve reached the point where I actually am able to hold my own providing there aren’t multiple 1000+ CP rival ‘mons, so I’m able to claim the gym from the comfort of the bird room and get the bonus once per day. At least, I did; I ( Read more... )

I've been playing more Pokémon Go all week--it's become a daily thing now for me to go to the Oak Grove quad and look around (since I go there anyway twice a day to look after and train the birds) for a while, and at least see who has control of the science building gym. The foot traffic in the quad has been higher than I've ever seen for ( Read more... )

So, after coming back home from India, I downloaded Pokémon Go a couple days ago, and I've been having a great time with it! I discovered that my science building is a gym and the weird rock sculpture outside the building that I never paid much attention to is a PokéStop (one of 6 in the Oak Grove quad all arranged in a circle--the cooldown time ( Read more... )

So... I've been in India for almost a week now, visiting with family. It's fun, but I did have to make the difficult decision not to take part in the annual July Writing Prompts challenge at watsons_woes--I've taken part (and completed) the challenge for the past three years, but the fact that I'm visiting family half the month and then have to spend the ( Read more... )

I’m going to be heading home soon for a week since my sister and her family are visiting, and after that, it’s off to India for an additional three weeks. So I won’t be online much this week (and for the days that I’m traveling internationally/recovering from jet lag, not online at all ( Read more... )

Through some amount of serendipity, I managed to obtain a decently-priced used edition of Kid Icarus: Uprising that looks and plays like new. I’ve always been leery about buying used games, especially since third-party sellers on Amazon seem to be trying to pass off cartridges of dubious authenticity (this game has been out of print for years, and ( Read more... )
