Actually I remember VR still had the on-site chat room back then...man, it's been a really long time, now that I think about it. I still can't believe I've been a member here for over five years now. Wow. |

I had all four of my wisdom teeth dug out in . . . when was it . . . summer 2010, I think? It was great. The surgeon tried talking to me about movies after injecting anesthetic, and then I spent the next eight days eating yogurt and scrambled eggs. And then a few years later my sister got all four of hers taken out, and she was home and annoying me before I even woke up that morning! Thanks, life!
Good luck, though, either way it's really very not fun to have stitches in your mouth. Can still feel where mine used to be sometimes, some how :P |

Thankfully I havent had wisdom teeth, or any teeth pulled for that matter. I had fillers, but thats about it
As far as non-teeth related stuff, open house for school is tommorow night, and school officially starts the 24th. I can confirm for being unexcited about it. I cant sleep in all day? No to all of that |

Well open house was a nightmare. Apparently im on the waiting list for Japanesse, and may not be able to get in. Every weeb around here wants to take Japanesse, so I have to just hope I get in. If not, I'll probably just sign up for Psychology. Fingers crossed.

So did you guys hear what almost happen at worlds? I read on facebook from them Pokemon Global News guys that on thursday last week boston police arrested two people trying to go to pokemon world championships and start shooting. But its a good thing they caught in time, who knows what would have happened.

Yeah, I did hear about that. Here's the story:

I have gone on several angry tirades on this already, and I'll try to keep this one . . . reasonable. Saw this last night and it took me like an hour to wrap my head around it.
"Pokémon." "Weapons." "Pokémon." "Weapons." Why are those words even in the same thread as each other? Is there now a competition to be the very worst, like no one ever was? Travel halfway across the bloody country just to do . . . what, again? No, no, no, no, no, . THIS is why we need to put a ban on guns the size of a barracuda. Excellent coverage of it here, warning, guy uses bad words: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fs4avfA7NCM Also did I mention this before? NO. NO. NO. Still going to Magfest, by the way. I need to go watch Sesame Street or something for a while now. |

I've looked into this one a bit and they never explicitly stated tat was the plan. All one of the guys posted was they were ready for Worlds and they took a picture of those two guns on the back of a car. Not to say that this is excusable. TCPi took the right action. The players also got slapped with a lifetime organized play ban too.

I wouldn't take offense to restructuring the gym league.
I do have an X/Y theme set to admin-only with Xerneas navy and Yveltal maroon for colors, but it didn't turn out so great. Perhaps I'll initiate a revival when Gen VII or another big game rolls around. |

What you guys think of this Yo-Kai watch thing? I watched the anime today and seems alright (played the demo of the game, and the game is so-so). To me it seems a mix of both digimon and pokemon (as in Yo-Kai the monsters can talk)
|
#12832

I think it looks interesting, though I haven't been able to buy it (and my 3DS Internet went kaput so I can't really get my hands on the demo).
Probably will eventually, though. People I know who do have it says it starts off kind of slow but picks up later on. |

So there's like 18 inches of snow outside and still coming down. Anyone else enjoying the lovely US East Coast blizzard today?

When tax time comes around, im getting my self a badass new tablet. Im hoping if the camera are both in the frong and back, and i hope the quality is better than my current tablet. If the quality is better and it records stuff very well, im starting my youtube channel full time. (I have new video on my channel, but it sucks )

Ah, tax forms, those showed up in the mail just before I left for work yesterday. Should probably get around to looking them over, like, really soon. Fun stuff. Also this is the same Matt as you are, right? Just checking.

The post-game Late Show with Stephen Colbert was pretty funny. Obama showed up to congratulate the Broncos and let us in on the secret listing of the next fifty Super Bowl winners:

words of advice: do not put off going to the grocery store to 11:30 PM the day before a big holiday. I don't know why people seemed surprised that basically the only meat left in the grocery store where I work yesterday was, like, ground beef and old sausages.

How about picking up potato chips on Super Bowl Sunday or Thanksgiving, or eggnog on Christmas Eve? I've had to do all those. I'm surprised how many stores and restaurants are open on Thanksgiving nowadays. It used to just be pharmacies and Denny's.

Tbh I kind of want next CoroCoro(s) to be the most boring, unintesting thing ever, so we can all be blown away when E3 rolls around.
But when was the last time that happened? Also, speaking of E3, Bethesda, feel free to announce TES6 any day now! |

So I have this one chicken. She's almost nine years old. And laid an egg yesterday anyway. (For those of you who don't do chickens, the ones who laid the eggs you bought in the store were almost certainly younger than two.)

So I'm bored. I just watched the rest of my anime. I can't believe Eureka Seven is exactly one episode shorter than Full Metal Alchemist, but I'm not complaining about that.
I just had a rough appointment yesterday because people were giving me a hard time on ***** and I would never want to see them anywhere on forums with me again. They cause trouble. Seriously. I have a hard time getting some peace of mind. |

So I was working on an essay on Romanticism and I just realized that I unconsciously inserted the term "primal reversion" into the essay many, many times.

Oh, that's okay. It's worse when you're talking with investors or shareholders and realize halfway through you're using a very similar-sounding word that means something completely different, all because you've been playing a video game.

So I'm currently playing through Pokémon X in Italian, with no idea what anyone's saying. Was hoping that I'd kind of be able to get the sensation of being in another country of a language that I don't speak, but it turns out that Pokémon X is straightforward enough that I don't really need to know what anyone's talking about in order to get by :/
That, and the fact that I've already played the game four or five times since it came out. Eh. |

Earlier today, it was 130 degrees Fahrenheit in the sun (and 113 in the shade, which is where the temperature is typically taken). Yes, that thermometer has been calibrated.
It's also nearly 100 degrees out, at 12:30 at night. Last edited by Cat333Pokémon; June 21, 2016 at 11:24:53 PM. |

Discovered something interesting about the Panasonic typewriter I acquired a couple months ago: I read on the box of my replacement ribbons that the "ink" is actually carbon based, so I got to thinking, "If that's carbon based, might I be able to use a pencil eraser to make corrections?"
I remembered that, in my drafter's toolbox, I have a number of soft plastic erasers, so I pulled one out and attempted to "erase" a little bit of text from the page I was working on. By golly, the text lifted away as if I had written it with pencil. On another geeky note: with help from the USB-to-IDE/SATA adapter I bought awhile back, I was able to get my old iBook to recognize the SATA hard disk I pulled out of my Lenovo before upgrading to an SSHD and Windows 10. The old hard disk was formatted as Mac OS Extended (HFS+), which allows me to transfer 900 GB of data from the iBook (running Mac OS 9.2.2) to my Intel iMac (running Mac OS X 10.10.5 "Yosemite") and back again, unaffected by the drastic differences in the Macintosh operating systems. I could not, however, boot the iBook from the external hard disk, and I suspect that Mac OS 9.2.2 doesn't support booting from HFS+ formatted external hard disks, although I was successful in booting from a USB flash drive using the same filesystem and OS.

Finally back from Nationals. Had a great time, apart from a rental car snafu that leaves me seething still. Didn't make day two for TCG but I didn't lose a single round for the first 5 rounds. Was still a great experience that I'm looking forward to again next year... Hopefully back at Indianapolis next year... 'cause it's a shorter trip |3

So, finished Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Apparently it has an early reputation for being "really shiny fanfiction" or something, but while it had its weird parts (and some scenes I'd argue are completely unnecessary) it was still worth my time.
It's in play form, btw, so it reads way faster than most 300 page books. |

Play form? That's rather bizarre for the series. On the other hand, maybe they wrote the film first?
"Really shiny?" Are you talking about Twilight or something else? No, I haven't read it yet, but I did enjoy the Harry Potter films. (I have read the first three books, though.) |
