Pokemon Contests in Omega Ruby

So I've been playing Pokemon Omega Ruby for a little while now. And I'm still having a lot of fun with it. My team is growing really well, and I'm making good progress whenever I play it.   However, I wanted to challenge myself a little bit regarding the Pokemon Contests. I decided that I would raise Pokemon that would only be used in these Contests. So far, I've only competed in three of them in the Cute Category. The Pokemon I'm using, Skitty, has destroyed all the competition so far. Probabl

A Smart Phone Disaster Averted

So remember that IPhone 6S that I got a few months ago? The same one that was the first smart phone I've ever owned?   Yeah, well, I dropped it in a mud puddle today.   I was walking around in a park looking for Pokemon on Pokemon Go (because I still play that) when I lost my footing for a second and my phone flew out of my hand and into the puddle. Thankfully, the mud only got on my case. Nothing was damaged or ruined on the phone. In fact, the mud got almost on all the back of it except for w

Time for Evasive Maneuvers on the Internet

Well, Star Wars: The Force Awakens has finally been released in theaters. I, however, won't be able to see it until sometime on Christmas weekend. (Hopefully.) The reason I'm not seeing it this weekend is because my Dad wants to see it with me, and vice versa, and he really doesn't want to have to wait in a long line at the theater to see the movie. He wants to go and enjoy seeing the film, while not having to worry about finding seats for getting to the theater hours ahead of time and other stu

The 'running Santa' Commercial

Has anyonw else seen this commercial? It's the one where Santa is running through the parking lot of a Target while Christmas music plays in the background. It was on TV last year and I've seen it this year. It is one of my favorite Christmas commercials. I don't know what it is about it, but I think that it's a really great commercial. It always brings a smile to my face.

Smash Bros Ultimate DLC: ARMS

So the next DLC character for Super Smash Bros: Ultimate was revealed yesterday. We already knew that said character would be from the ARMS series. And now we know who it will be.  The next DLC character will be Min Min. Now I personally don't know anything about the ARMS series other than it was a game released for the Switch awhile ago. From what I understand, it hasn't had the most successful lifespan on the system, but it's still looked like a cool game. Especially from what is sho

Youtube Recommends Gaston to Me

So for the last week or so, my Youtube recommendations have been showing me videos of the part in the animated Beauty and the Beast where Lefou sings to Gaston to cheer him up. Except the scene has been altered in certain ways in each video, which ranges them from funny to odd to disturbing. Here is one of those videos:     And here's another one:     Maybe I should start looking up different stuff on Youtube.

...And I'm Sick.

Whatever has been going around making people sick, I have caught it. As of this entry I just have a somewhat sore throat, a cough, and my body is feeling a little weak, but I'm sure I'll be dealing with an extremely running nose among other symptoms in the coming days.   Thankfully, I have the next two days off from work, so hopefully I can rest up and kick this out of my system. Because I really don't like feeling like this.

Thoughts on the Civil War Trailer

I wasn't expecting to see this trailer until I went to see Star Wars next month, so this is a great surprise.   While I admit that this trailer doesn't have me as hyped up for Civil War as the first trailer for Age of Ultron did for its movie, this still makes me very excited to see this. I'm really interested to see what they do with Cap. friendship with Bucky, as well as with The Falcon.   Spider-Man, Ant Man, and Vision sat this trailer out, but I don't have a problem with it because I'm su

Well, that was fast...

I stated in my last blog entry that I was told that the book I wanted, Revenge of the Skull Spiders, would be at my house Monday. Turns out I was wrong, as I came home from work tonight and found that it had already been delivered. I guess I read something wrong on the Barnes and Noble website.   But I'm not complaining, as I now have the book and can read it! Once I get some time to sit down to that though....

Thoughts on Latest Pokemon Reveals

The latest Pokemon Sun/Moon trailer is here, and it has a ton of new info in it. Here are my thoughts on it.   1. The new form for Exeggutor looks interesting. It seems like it went on a extreme diet. Though I think the biggest change about it is that it is part dragon instead of part psychic. I imagine that there is a certain way to evolve Execute in the game to get the Exeggutor that you want, because not having the original in the region, as least as an option, would be kind of disappointing

My Adventures in Las Vegas

So like I said in my previous entry, I did a lot of stuff in Las Vegas while on vacation. (Nothing that I can't post about here though. ) I thought I'd give a quick breakdown of what exactly I did while my Dad and I were there.   1. We stayed at the Paris Hotel, which had a huge ground area. It was bigger than any other ground I have ever seen in a hotel. Though that is to be expected for a hotel in Vegas. But since we were staying there, we got a discount for a trip to the top of the Eiffel

Long Overdue Hurricane Harvey Update

Here is an update that I probably should've posted earlier about how my family and I got through Hurricane Harvey. None of us were harmed in the storm, and we didn't lose our home or anything in it. We didn't even lose power. My parent's bedroom did take some water damage, but compared to what others have lost in the storm, we're not complaining.   As for my town, it is bouncing back to how it was before Harvey hit. Some food places still have a limited menu, but overall things are getting back

It's Finally Over

This past weekend was one of the roughest I've had to work in a long time. I clocked out with roughly 84 hours of work over the last six days, and I worked afternoon to mornings through the whole weekend. I saw the sunrise four morning in a row.   But thankfully its now over. Plus, it probably won't be as busy as it was on that weekend for the next few months at my job. It's all downhill from here.   And I vacation in two weeks as well, so that's something to look forward to.

Storm Incoming

So what will probably be a tropical storm by this coming Friday night is going hit where I live in a couple of days. It won't get a direct hit, but my area will be on the east side of the storm. AKA the dirty side of it. And that means lots of rain and thunderstorms. Yay. Now as I have been few a couple tropical storms and hurricanes, I'm not too worried about these storms. But I am a little frustrated because I bought a ticket for Pokemon Go Fest and I'll probably have to do half of it sit

Spider-Man: Homecoming Villain Confirmed

Just a heads up, if you don't want to know who the villain (or at least a villain) is in the upcoming Spider-Man movie, don't read any further than this.   So Kevin Fiege, the man who oversees the Marvel movies for the MCU, confirmed last night that Michael Keaton will play The Vulture in Spider-Man: Homecoming. This really isn't a surprise to me, because it has been rumored for awhile that he was up for this role. Now it's just confirmed.   I'm excited for this. I thought he did a good job in

The Wolverine

I plan on seeing this movie Friday. I've read a review saying that it is a LOT better than Origins. But honestly, from the trailers and commercials I've seen, I don't know if it will be good or not. I do believe it will be better than Origins though.   Is anyone else seeing it this weekend?

This feels really strange...

I'm off from work about four hours earlier than I usually am on Thursdays. This is thanks to some monsoon rain and thunderstorms that hit my local area today. It's basically as if I got the night off from work, and it feels so weird for me to be home as of this entry.   Not that I'm complaining though. This just gives me more time to watch TV shows and Youtube videos.

Phalanx Box Art

So I was reading an article on another site, and happened to run into this picture:     Seriously, who came up with this? This makes no sense to me. Even the guy in the artwork looks like he's wondering why he's there.   It is extremely hilarious though.

My Thoughts On The New Tdkr Trailer

It. Is. Amazing!   It went well beyond my expectations for it! That scene with the collapsing football field was really cool. The chant that plays throughout it is eerie, but it makes the trailer all the more awesome!   If I had to make one little complaint, it would be that it is kind of hard to understand what Bane was saying, but still, the trailer was great, IMO!   What did you guys think of it?

I Took An Arrow In The Knee

I use to be confused as to where this odd statement came from, then I looked it up on another site. Now I understand why it is growing in popularity across the Internet.

Ask Me Anything.

I posted an "Ask me anything" blog entry before, and only got one question. Let's see if I can get more than that this time.   So, ask away!

Run Santa Run!

Four years ago I made a blog entry about one of my favorite Christmas commercials. That commercial was Santa Claus running full speed to a Target to get some last minute things. (Like a lot of people will be doing today, I imagine. ) Back then, I couldn't post its link from Youtube on BZP because Youtube videos weren't allowed on the site. But the times have changed, so now, ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Running Santa Commercial that is still my favorite Christmas commercials out there.
