Geekdom abound (78 of 90)

Ah, well'p Sunday well spent.

My Pokemans, Let me show you them:

So, it's funny. Two days ago I said I wanted to be all healthy and stuffs. Lies and deceit. Well, at least in practice it's a lie. Or, rather, I haven't implemented the whole "healthy me" game plan. Hopefully I'll start once I get back home. In the mean time...

I've been watching pokemon all day. ALL day. Nothing but pokemon episodes. Watching pokemon, playing pokemon, researching pokemon. I have a problem. A poke-problem. I'm entirely addicted. But my team is beginning to shape up. Sure, it's still entirely unbalanced and ridiculous, but I'm finally getting more of the members of my final team.

So very many hours of pokemon. As I type this, I'm watching the end of Bye Bye Butterfree, and going back and forth between this and Pokemon Gold. I've decided to train a Murkrow for the first time. I normally go with Hoot-Hoot/Noctowl, but I decided to switch it up this time.

In other nerdly news, we went to steak and shake today. Had many lovely conversations. And by many lovely conversations, I mean, we spent the entire time talking about Pokemon, Batman, and Macs. So very much time spent geeking out. It was enjoyable. I don't get much "geek out" time anymore, what with me talking to semi "normal" people now.

It's nice knowing that should I need someone to geek out at, they're available. It's been a while since I've had a bunch of dorks to geek out at. That being said: here's what's on my mind, geek wise:

1. I hate and love apple. (as I hate and love myself (lol see that LotR reference go go go but I don't really hate myself)))
I know it's terrible. I know I could have gotten a much better PC for the same amount of money as the macbook I'm typing on now. I know that gaming is shit on this thing (but looking up with Steam for Mac coming out April 4th Valve time (which means, god only knows human time)). I know that I can't do much with this thing. I know. But. It's so damn pretty. So damn pretty. And the iPhone, yeah, I'd be better off with a droid. But, iPhone. App Store. Convenience. Buh. Damn you Steve Jobs. Damn you. I've fallen into your target audience trap after years of struggling. I blame my father.

2. My pokemon team is shaping up nicely. I've got 3.5 of 6 pokemon choosen to follow me through the game. I say 3.5 because I'm not entirely sure if I'm going to keep my Furret with me. It's so cute. So TM-able. But so... not good. Haha. Hypothetically, and in the story line I've made up in my head, it's an amazing choice. But for battle functionality, it's not so great. But oh well. The story line is more important to me anyway, and in the story version... Furret is the Pikachu to Tony's Ash.

3. My boy knows things about comics? What? Score. I foresee many moments of pure geekery. And also agrees that Namor is 1000% better than Aquaman in all aspects. Now for the Psylocke (Betsy Braddock) v. Jean Grey (Phoenix) v. Emma Frost conversation. The choice could be a deal breaker, haha.
