Where have I been? That is a question I don't want to answer in detail. First, my cell phone's battery DIED and my Blue C 5+5 (an Android clone that normally runs like a top) needs a specialized battery, for which I had to wait two weeks to be delivered by first class mail. I'm glad it came that way, since post office workers are unionized and probably not monitored by algorithms. In this day and age of Trump, such things count.
Second, on the day before my battery arrived, which was also the day after Martin Luther King Day, my mother had a medical health crisis. That is all I'm going to tell you. I've been up to Westchester County once since last writing this journal. My mother is not in immediate danger. I listened to lots of Spotify but did not play any Pokemon Go. I did try to play a couple of times but was very gun shy because of what the game does to cell phone batteries. Also I had a full plate. Also, the game took forever to load, didn't hold GPS well.... Let's just say I was worried about the battery and low on patience. I'm just getting back into it now, and making points hand over fist. It's almost too easy, but I need a way to be in the moment and away from what else is going on in my life. I have over 60,000/150,000 at level 24. I've evolved a Tentacruel, Graveler, MaChop, and a few other things. I'm saving the Nidorqueen for when I really feel I need her, a time when I'm not doing it as a consolation prize for a bad run or as too good a reward which it won't be. My critter box is culled so I can hunt a lot. At the half way mark to level, I want to bag a lot of weedles, rattatas, pidgeys, and spearrows and maybe sentrets. It will be time to horde easy to evolve critters again and we all know why. I'm not thrilled with the new avie clothing. I wish I were, but there are no green outfits and anything interesting costs something. I'm not a whale. I'm a human being. It is good to be back. Pokemon Go may eat batteries but it's not immoral, evil, or fattening. In fact, I think it is good for helping me keep weight off. That should be good enough. |
Say a thing and it becomes so. At least sometimes it feels that way. I have 90,200/150,000 points. The hording begins. Ammo is low. The walking game rules. I am holding off on my first Sentret evolution for obvious reasons. I got a transparent upgrade thingie at my first Pokestop along with a seven day bonus. I have no idea how to use the upgrade. I guess I should do some searching. I'm at 230/400 Magikarp candies. I have 22/50 Grimer candies. I think Pokemon Go is handling battery life a bit better. It's hard to tell. I listen to less polka/Oktoberfest music after I get done playing. I've been listening to a lot of modern classical. Spotify suggested Toru Takemitsu. His music sounds like thunder and crying. It goes well when the sky threatens rain. Right now I'm twisted enough that the anticipation feels terrific. I've got 60,000 more experience points worth. :t088: |
