Today, I had my first three-way.
Three-way SKYPE CONVERSATION, that is! Jeez, get
your mind out of the gutter. What do you take me for - some kind of trollop?
Forsooth!
At any rate, Skyping with Mike and K-Cam was more
fun than a sack of ferrets, and much overdue. However, while doing so, as it so
often does, the conversation turned to Pokémon. We exchanged our educated
opinions on Pokémon X and Y, both coming out this fall. And, in looking
into some of the new Pokémon, I discovered that there is a new
Pokémon type. That new type is... the Fairy type.
Yes, you read that correctly. Fairy type.
They look like this.
The new "Eeveelution" - Fairy type.
Yeah, this is the kind of thing that seems
custom-made to make me embarrassed to still play Pokémon.
Most of the new ones, arguably more than any other
generation, look like dumb fan art made by artistic eight year olds. There's
even frickin' pandas.
Skrelp is kind of cool though (if only for the
name), as is the world's first sword Pokémon, Honedge.
Sigh.
The worst part is, I know I'm still going to buy
this game, and will almost certainly still love it. When will I leeeaaaaarrrrrrnnnn?
On to my fact of the day, which (unintentionally
but awesomely) is loosely connected with Pokémon.
#9: the most expensive city in the world to live
in, currently, is Tokyo, Japan.
Osaka is the second most expensive city, and
Sydney, Australia is the third. The rest of the list you can find here. For some reason, I had thought Vancouver
placed in the top ten, but maybe that was just overblown rumours circulating
from people trying to bolster the awesomeness of where my rump currently rests,
to quote Pumba.
So there you have it. I'm off to actually do some
thesis work like a good little grad student now, and not just revert to (you
guessed it) Pokémon, as I so often do.
Pacific Rim tonight, yo!
