Well Ive done a ton and here is the basics of it:

 Defeated Team Rocket in the mt.moon cave and got my self a moonstone and a helix fossil. Before I went into the cave though I found out a grave mistake that made me back track all the way to the city north of pallet.

I remebered about Mankey. So I corrected this grevious error and my line up has changed since I stomped misty down with my lv 16 pikachu. (her pokemon were lv 20s) Basically I just flat out owned the first one. On her starmie he was such a heavy hitter I brought out pidgey. Who bravely went down sand-attacking to lower its accuracy. Next out was my Butterfree who poisoned starmie and then switched out with my pikachu. After he was out I double teamed, and the +evade in combination with Starmies severly lowered accuracy made pikachu untouchable. I then shocked it to death and got my badge!

 My new Team after visting bill and doing the nugget bridge and dig TM events.

  • Pikachu (lv 19)
  • Mankey (lv 17)
  • Butterfree (lv 18)
  • Bulbasaur (lv 17)
  • Charmeleon (lv 17)
  • Pidgey (lv 14)

I made a really stupid mistake i forgot to save before my misty battle, and my last save was before I went into the cave. I accidently taught Butterfree a new attack which for some reason I can remember the name of, but I overwrote Sleep powder. which I didnt mean to do...I was so >.< but its ok...I guess...I still have psn and pzn powders and confusion and then whatever this latest attack was. Anywho! Pidgey will get cut from the team as soon as I pick up a Squirtle. And I will probly drop Butterfree anyway once I get a diglett or a dugtrio. So my team I want to end with will look like this:

  • Pikachu
  • Weezing
  • Kingler
  • Prime Ape
  • Charizard
  • Venusaur

So atm I've got 4 of my ending line up. I will get a Phsyic or a Ghost pokemon to switch out with my Prime Ape as I go. Squirtle will get pulled off my team as soon as I get a krabby. Which most might consider stupid but when I have a pokemon I really am excieted to get I enjoy the game alot more.

So Im starting to download anime and preparing for my first marathon in god knows how long. Here is what is on the menu:

  • Black Lagoon
  • Ouran High School Host Club
  • Escaflowne
  • Inu Yasha (the last episodes of the series, since I stopped 3/4)
  • Ghost Hunt
  • Death Note (I dropped it half way. need to finish)
  • Dragonball

My plan is to download as much as I can and then burning off to CD. To make room for the rest of the episodes. And repeating that process until everything is downloaded and on hand. Once that is done. I shall set up my DVD player and my TV and get ready to Marathon what I can! Its probly gunna take me 2-3 weeks via various methods to download everything. But as long as I make sure Im starting downloads at night and then starting new ones before work, I should maybe get done before schedule.

Ouran I only have 13 eps left to download. And before I start on the rest of those series I want to make sure I also get Law of Ueki downloaded, although I watch that with a friend so I can't marathon it. Escaflowne might end up waiting for my friend too. But the rest are all mine muhahahaha!

Once my first transfer of funds goes through I should be able to actually use my Paypal account to buy stuff so first thing on my list:

  • Download Credits from Narutomania
  • Donation to MAL
  • Astros for Pangya

Wooo! Friday marks the day! I can hardly wait!

Ok well the continuning adventures of me, my pokemon, and my free time lol.

 Well my Team As of now!

  • Pikachu (lv 12)
  • Butterfree (lv 12)
  • Beedrill (lv 11)
  • Pidgey (lv 12)
  • Magikarp (lv 7)
  • Zubat (lv 9) 

So I'm about ready to go through the cave to cerulean. I was unable to find Prof. Oak's Aid to get the Flash HM, but no biggie. If I get to a spot I really need it I'll start backtracking through all the cities. In any event, I've beaten brock and Im ready to head after misty.

As far as my team goes Im leeching Magikarp tell he evolves into a dragon. My Butterfree, Pikachu, Pidgey, and Zubat are my semi-perms at the moment. I think once I get Zubat to a decent lv I might drop pidgey. I will definetly drop the dragon pokemon once I get Squirtle. So by the time I really get set to start training a good team I think Im going to go with this set up:

  • Pikachu
  • Squirtle
  • Bulbasaur
  • Charmander
  • Diglet
  • Muk or a koffing (I like strong poison types)

The Team I know I want to end with is this though:

  • Pikachu
  • Kingler
  • Muk / Weezing
  • ????
  • ????
  • ????

For some reason I have fallen in love with Muk and with Kingler. I always have them on my team. So those will be the ones I try and get and train them up.

Well in all the business of my life I seem to have picked up a new hobby. I tried playing some MMO's that I used to but they require more time and money than I want to spend. My main game is Pangya. an MMO anime/ golf game. But There is alot of time now that I sit idle, and I wanted to occupy my time. So since I own all the pokemon games, I decided to download all the roms for them, and start playing through them. Yes thats right pokemon. The anime may have sucked, the card game may have been sub-par, but I have allways loved the games. and so...Im playing through them again.

 First up on my list is:

Pokemon Yellow

Basically because I get to have the 3 starting pokemon from the old games. Although my normal team doesnt have any of them in it, they are solid pokemon and will let me get my bearings again as I start playing once more. Since I got 4 slots of my team already filled. (ie. Blastoise, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Pikachu) I will probly go with a poison type and either a bird or a physic type.

 As I progress through each game. the first 150 pokemon once they are caught I will trade them over to the next game once I've beaten that, so that each pokedex is 100% complete. and the same for each game that progresses into new areas.

So my current Progress through Yellow:

Badges: 0

Pokedex: 8 caught / 9 seen

Well Im purposely staying stuck in the first forest and training my pokemon. I got both a weedle and a caterpie, pikachu, and a Pidgey. I want them all lv 10 before I go through all the trainers in the forest to get a few easy lv ups. (by that time having a butterfree and a Beedrill) before heading over to brocks gym. I plan on ditching my Beedrill at some point but for now he will do me good.)

Well first off, I want to say that back when I was in college I was a stupid kid, and I kinda did some stupid things, I bounced a couple of checks. Well seeing as I was moving to a new city I closed my account and now that Im in my new place and settled into my new job, I get a big shocker.

 First I go into the bank, and they want my SSN card along with my Drivers Licence. I had never had that happen before, so I go in with my SSN card the next day, and they ask for my Birth Certificate, so I go in with all that and then they turn me down for the checking account because I bounced a check 4 years ago. It was seriously the worst experence I had with a bank. And the funny thing is, the bank I bounced the check with, is the bank Im doing my banking with now, there local branch may be 10 blocks out of my way but at least they are friendly and dont treat me like scum.

 Now that that is over, well sorta. I gotta wait for the checks from my Money Market to clear that I opened my account with witch will hopefully be in time for me to pay my rent. SIGH! and now I gotta wait longer to donate to Xinil, and to buy my Astros for Pangya, and to buy more bandwidth for my anime download site. >.> grrrrrr lol I hate waiting.

 But in the end, I suppose everything worked out and Im really just venting. I have a great job that I love. I have a great person to come home to every day. And an amazingily awesome apartment. (Woot!) Now Im trying to get settled into my new life here. And I've been really slacking on my Anime. I've dropped a ton of series and now only watch like 2 anime. (law of ueki and Ouran High School Host club.)

I've got a massive plan to watch list going so maybe I should start working on that. Instead of watching reruns at night lol. hmmm. oh yeah one last thing. I started a story, my city of hell story and I got 2 more chapters done, I just havent posted them up yet! I should make time this sunday.

Well that is the overlly complex and actually fun thing I call my life.

 Goodbye and Hello as always,

Sandy

Anime Relations: Fruits Basket

Arrrrgh!!! lol. I have writers block so I decided to do a blog entry to help get my juices going. I've been in a bit of a funk writing wise the last couple of days and its time to step out of it! I do have my story I gotta keep on moving on with!

I finished Fruits Basket last night, after staying up tell 2am watching it. They really did end that anime poorly it definetly deserved a second season. But was finally able to move an anime to my completed list! Now I just gotta start catching up on my Bleach, Naruto, and One Piece T_T lol.

Im gunna try and exersice my writing muscles by playing with my thesaurs and trying to be all poetic. That usually gets my motor running writing wise :P

So anywho, next time Im sitting in front of a blank screen, facing the endless possibilities of my own imagination, I'll have to remeber my Blog... It certinely has helped as I beginning to feel those loquasious tendency returning.

Till next time,

Goodbye and Hello as always.
