Pokémon Acquired!

My first Alolan shiny!  I have one on my main team that isn't shiny, but as I *need* to get all the Alolan variations in shiny form, this is a great step!

For Arceus, choose "Get with Code" and enter: ARCEUS20 For Meloetta, choose "Get with Internet Connection" I'm …

Still (Pokemon) GOing

Still keeping up the effort to be obnoxiously outdoors.  I've lived in perpetual sunburn this summer (which, if you recall, getting out more was a New Years Resolution for me) and now security guards/ticket cashiers recognize me at 3/4 of the Biopark parks.  So does the sea lion, whom I love.  Hope you're all having …

To the Zoo!

I've been going to the biopark a lot - precisely the reason My Most Excellent Mother (who Just Served Us Nachos) got me a biopark pass for free admission - and sometimes, stuff just happens. Very happy to see that the Jaguars are going to get a new, much larger enclosure (just across from the …

Pokemon Go to the Biopark! (An Adventure Story)

Being that I live in Big City with a Biopark - Zoo, Aquarium, Botanical Gardens, and a Beach - and I have an entrance membership, I began my adventure at the zoo yesterday.  While I've been playing Pokemon Go for a little while now (certainly not hard-core), I have to have optimal conditions or my phone just won't …

Shiny Mission!

With Pokémon Sun/Moon coming out in Nov, my sister and I are on a mission - quest - thing - to hatch shinies of all the starters with Egg Moves and high-IV stats.  The first was a Chikorita!  Five IV, male (I've heard the starters, who have only a 12.5% chance of being female, are …

Life Updates! Krissye levels up!

Happy December, everyone!  I haven't written for a bit, but life has been hectic - my Autobot broke, my birthday came and went, Rysa and I got back into WoW - and I can't wait for Christmas! First of all, thanks to everyone who sent me Birthday Loot.  Presents are never mandatory, so it's always …

A Pokemon Acquired!

Candy Species: Deerling (Autumn) National Pokedex #585 Status: shiny

A Pokemon Acquired!

Got another shiny in Wonder Trade today!  The last owner named him "Cheesehead," which I both understand and regret, but it can't be changed.  *sigh* Cheesehead Species: Druddigon National Pokedex #621 Stats: shiny, 2-IV (Attack, Sp. Def) Acquired: Wonder Trade

Life Updates

Today is our last day of training at work.  It's hard to believe I've only known these people a month!  We're taking a long lunch today to have graduation (where we get our official lanyards, ooooh) and a class potluck before we're split up into existing teams on our individual schedules.  Goodbye, school, today I become a Genin …

Life Updates

A few fun things have happened over the last couple days since my last post.  A) I pulled a Team Magma's Groudon EX card, B) I ordered an awesome mug on Teefury, C) I might get to start playing Dungeons & Dragons! and, D) I've made it through an entire week on the floor at …

Life (Pokemon) Updates

Work has begun.  I'm still in training, but the class is out on the floor taking calls for eight hours.  More importantly, I've had some exciting things happen in the world of Pokemon! For starters, I decided to treat myself to some new cards and, lo and behold! A new expansion had been released!  XY …

Doodle + Late-Night Rant

Today has been pretty up and down.  You can usually tell when I'm stressed because I draw myself hugging things. I've been sick since last Monday and, after sleeping on and off for 15 hours last night, I got up to a comment from an online troll.  I know, I know, sticks and stones... but …

Dangle Earrings

Keeping in mind that my camera picks up the tiniest mistakes makes up a bunch of painting mistakes as if they're really there, here are my newest earrings!  I'm going through a dangle-earring phase. Each pokeball measures roughly 1/4" and the Gameboy Colors measure roughly 1/2" tall.  They are made of SuperSculpey and were painted with …

Play-Doh and Sculpey

Saturday and this morning, we had to babysit Niece without much warning, so we turned to the magic of clay. Here we have my attempt at a Play-Doh Charmander, which I'm actually quite proud of considering the medium.  He was disassembled for the sake of a cage for Niece's disobedient Umbreon, but some things just …

Strawberry Pokepuffs!

To celebrate our (recent) birthdays, today I made Roommate and I strawberry Pokepuffs! Introduced in the Kalos region of Pokemon (X and Y), an app called Pokemon Amie allowed you to pet, play with, feed, and build friendships with your Pokemon individually.  When you played games together, you received Pokepuffs to feed to your Pokemon.  There are several qualities …

Happy Birthday to Meeeeeee~

Happy Friday, everyone!  This TGIF just happens to be my birthday.  Level 24! This morning, I woke up to a new prescription filled for me from Roommate: Hahaha!  She actually wrote me a prescription for World of Warcraft!  (Don't remember the joke?  Check here.) As for the address on the script..... ...its our home wi-fi …

Seestor Cards

Cycling for Nerds

I'm really not an active person.  We went to the fitness center and Roommate was mocking my exercise method (bike while hatching Pokemon eggs), but I doubled by time from the day before, so it must work? (updated 1/13/2015)
