I was doing so well on blogging this month for the first 15 days but then it all went down the crapper.
Part of the reason was that I was in Chicago again for work just last week, Oct 21-Oct 25. Didn’t blog at all!
And I guess the reason was – new toys! I got my Samsung Galaxy 10.1 (2014) tablet. I also got some Hot Topic clothes (more geek gear – totally running out of closet space) and Pokemon X, X, and Y (that’s 3 games)!

Ed Debevics
Went to Ed Debevics in downtown Chicago on my trip. Their schtick is that their staff is “rude” (but it’s on purpose). It’s pretty cool/funny – it’s a diner with really good food. But the staff wasn’t really rude, more just…comically sarcastic. For example, when I ordered water, the waitress was like ‘pfft, boooring’. And when I wasn’t ready with my order, she was like ‘jeez, you’re taking forever’. Things like that :) When a family with kids comes in through the front door, they ask “how many brats you got?”. Stuff like that…it’s kinda rude but not overly offensive. Comical if you’re in on the joke. I’ve heard that you can ask for the full package, in which they’re really rude and make fun of you. My confidence was not high enough that I could voluntarily subject myself to verbal abuse – so I did not do that (would have been “fun” though, to see what it’d be like).

Pokemon
I have Pokemon Y and Zee and my nephew both have X.
I’ve had Pokemon less than a week (6 days to be precise) and I’m not as far as I’d like :( Was too busy with work the last week…

In my 20 hours of playtime, I only have 2 badges. I’ve got 149 Pokemon in my PokeDex.
My current line-up
35 Gardevoir (Psychic/Fairy) – has Grass/Psychic abilities
35 Roselia (Grass/Poison) – has Grass/Poison/Normal abilities
37 Ledian (Bug/Flying) – has Psychic/Fighting/Bug/Normal abilities
37 Pikachu (Electric) – has Psychic/Electric/Normal abilities
38 Greninja (Water/Dark) – has Dark/Water/Rock/Normal abilities
38 Charizard (Fire/Flying) – has Fire/Dragon/Flying/Normal abilities

These are just my PVE characters though…still need to play/research more before I have my PVP characters. Haven’t played Pokemon in probably 12-14 years so my strategies, as well as my knowledge are quite lacking. I hope to take this more seriously once I’m a bit stronger so that I may play well against the (4) other people that I know IRL that have the game. Must study!

The 3DS Zelda game comes out Nov 22 too and that means that it may take my focus for a while! Must fit in as much Pokemon as possible, until then!

That’s it for now…have another busy work day tomorrow (and the rest of the week). My life is just too busy nowadays :'(
