Somehow whenever I go off to camp I become SO MUCH MORE absorbed into Pokemon fandom.
So this is a Pokesupe post.
First off, OH MY GOD THEY CHANGED THE WEBSITE DESIGN. When I visited it today I made this surprised squawking sound and my dog looked at me strangely but CAN YOU BLAME ME? I was expecting to be bombarded with YELLOW but was instead met with BLUE. (By which I mean the colors, not the characters.) I'm still kind of in shock; I'm pretty sure the website has ALWAYS been yellow. Even back in like 2001 when I stumbled upon it because I was curious to see if the manga had ever progressed into the GSC arc but I had no way of knowing because Viz was a tard. (It was yellow in early 2002, at least. ...Wait, why is Blue facing forward? Was she really reintroduced before Red and Green were? whut.)
But enough about the website.
During the first few weeks of being at camp I read volumes 30 and 31. And I just have to say OH MY GOD THESE KIDS ARE ADORABLE.
So today is Wednesday, which means we cooked out for dinner. I was in charge of starting the fire, even though I had never managed to ever start a fire before, despite three whole summers of experience in this job...
I ACTUALLY GOT A FIRE STARTED. AND IT WAS A DAMNED AWESOME FIRE, TOO.
I was so proud of myself.
I also did most of the work in heating up the macaroni and cheese in the dutch oven over the fire (and got a minor burn all up my leg in the process oh well), which ended up being the majority of dinner since we couldn't get the fire started in the grill to cook hot dogs and hamburgers until like 9 PM by which time most of the girls were all like "FORGET THE HOT DOGS I WANT DESSERT."
THEN it was time to make s'mores... and right as the first girl was about to toast her marshmallow it started thundering and we had to hustle all the girls inside the cabin. I was like "OKAY I'LL STAY OUT HERE AND MAKE THE S'MORES FOR THEM" and another counselor was all like "NO IT'S DANGEROUS" and I was like "I DON'T CARE I'M GETTING THESE GIRLS SOME GODDAMN S'MORES AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE THE BEST S'MORES THEY EVER TASTED."
So in the space of just a few minutes I managed to make up fourteen s'mores with perfectly toasted golden-brown marshmallows before it started pouring. (We have sixteen girls, so I ended up having to make the last two over the stove in the cabin, but I'm also awesome at making perfectly toasted marshmallows over the stove so it's all good.)
“Hi friends list so I'm at camp right now and I've been here for the past couple of days. And I'll be here until next Friday but anyway just wanted to let all of you know that I just lost the game.”
So I listened to "High Touch!," the new Pokemon OP, last night.
No I have not been keeping up with the Pokemon anime in any way, shape, or form, why do you ask?
ANYWAY. It's a cute song, but... Satoshi and Hikari's voices just really don't mix well at all. XD And Hikari sounds like she's yelling throughout the entire song. COME ON, TOYOGUCHI, I KNOW YOU CAN SING BETTER THAN THAT. :|
I like listening to the "sing a duet with Satoshi!" karaoke version more.
...Yeah, so. Camp. I'm leaving in twenty minutes. \o/
I bet HGSS could do something really freaking awesome with the PokeGears and WiFi.
...*____*
WHERE IS MY COPY OF COROCORO I WANT IT NAO bawwwwwwwwwwww Because I'm stubborn and refuse to look at scans/translations from other sources. I WANT MY INFO FIRST-HAND.
I also want to make a HGSS icon with my OWN CoroCoro scans bawwwww.
EDIT: So I downloaded a Pokemon Gold ROM to amuse myself while at camp (btw I got a job at camp I'm leaving Tuesday morning)...
...I had no idea this was actually in the game I thought Kusaka was just making stuff up.
I started playing Rune Factory last night. (I gave the player character and the farm names that are tangentially Pokesupe-related because I am just that retarded.)
I almost got killed by the first monster I fought.
fffffffffffff so I totally should be in bed but this AU fanfic idea suddenly came to me and now it keeps swimming through my head and I can't sleep so I need to get SOMETHING written down for me to look at in the morning. 8(
So, I just spent some time staring at my anime DVD collection (I was tidying up some DVDs that were scattered all over the place - and even now I see in my peripheral vision some Suzumiya Haruhi DVDs that are NOT in the collector box like they should be AUGGGH!). And I was staring at it and kind of wondering... what the hell is up with this random assortment of genres?
There have been times in the past when I worried that I liked a whole assortment of anime simply because they were in the anime art style, which would have been... really shallow, you know? But no, there are indeed some anime that I dislike, and some that I outright hate, so I'm not that worried anymore.
My anime collection still puzzles me, though, because I can't find any sort of pattern in them.
Here's a list of the anime (and related audio-visual media) I own (not comprehensive - I'm going by memory and also not including series of which I have bought a couple volumes, lost interest, and just haven't bothered to sell off yet). Combination of R1/R2/bootleg releases, before anyone asks where the hell I got Brave Story or something. In alphabetical order because I can't think of another order in which I'd like to list them:
Soooooo can anyone find any common factors in that list because I sure as hell can't. Except that there's quite a bit of sugary magical girl anime in there but I think Gurren Lagann's presence alone completely negates all of them.
