Bloggin’ it up again! Not gonna waste another minute on my thinking. I’m nowhere near the end. The rest will sadly soon begin! (My apologies to Steve Dorff and John Bettis)<\/p>\n
Okay, so I DID have one more Monday off and that’s today. Sweet. These three-day work weeks have been awesome. Four-day weeks will still be good though.<\/p>\n
I suppose the biggest thing to happen to me over the last seven days is I started to play Pokemon Go. I downloaded the app the week before just to see what it was like and I honestly wasn’t sure that I’d ever play. Then on Tuesday I was looking and it told me there was a Jigglypuff nearby. That apparently is what it took me to get off my rump and go outside. I walked around for about an hour and found several Pokemon (but sadly not the Jigglypuff I went out for). It turns out I’m in a decent location with two Pokestops a street down from my house and a third only three streets down from those. I managed to get a couple of days’ use out of Pokevision before it got shut down (and I did end up finding a Jigglypuff). Yesterday I went out for the first time without it and I was able to find a Clefairy and a Pikachu so there’s that. It does seem like a lot more aimless walking hoping to get lucky though. I’ve walked 19 kilometers (that the game tracked) so far and just reached level 9 yesterday as well, though I have yet to commit to a faction. My instinct is to go Yellow (get it?) but it seems like the most difficult road to choose as it’s the least popular choice and it means I won’t really get to train at any gyms in the near future.<\/p>\n
Other than walking around hunting for Pokemon, I did get some gaming in with Fab and Lyne on Friday. We had time to fit in four different games. I’d say The Hare and the Tortoise and Pandemic: The Cure went over the best. Immediately after coming up just short of winning Pandemic, Fab insisted we give it a second go, which is always a good sign. We pulled off the win too which was great. It was my first time playing with the correct rules and it was definitely more challenging.<\/p>\n
Funnies readers may have seen the first of my cartoon bear ripo–err tributes last week. A few more will show up this week. It’s an idea that sounded better in my head. Actually drawing all these different characters in a confined space was a challenge. I’d say I’m about halfway through the story arc now so bear with me (oh the puns!)<\/p>\n
That’s it for this week. Have a good seven and we’ll do this all again next Monday. Carja V.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
