as the kiddies say, XD to Pokemon XD

I am so much in love with Pokemon XD, it's just not true.

It probably helps that my initial expectations were low, based on the mess that was Colosseum. I can't even remember whether I "finished" it & got Ho-Oh - I ran out of desire to play it before I even finished the main "story", long, long before I got to the end of the 100 Trainer Mt Battle sheer tediosity. The sarcastic voice at the back of my head says "Yeah, that's a good way to impress someone - make sure they start with low expectations :P". But, I think this would be a fantastic game even if I'd been looking forward to it for years.

So I'm feeling generally much more benevolent towards Genius Sonority, and will probably buy Pokemon Torouze/Trozei on import from the US. Because it's Zoo Keeper with Pokemon - and you have to catch all 386! Is that not something I need?

Oh yes, if you click on the link and read all my wittering, please comment, even if it's just a smiley or something. Nothing worse than spending an hour typing in a long, excited ramble about how excellent something is, and then no one reads it because "Pokemon is just for kids". Like hell it is ;)

Tags are Friends

Also, in case anyone cares, whenever I'm sitting here bored with lj in front of me, I've been tagging my old entries. There is way too much crap in my journal for me to sort it all out in one day, but I'll get there eventually...

It will probably not surprise you that the most-used tag is my evil gall bladder, followed by video games and wuzzie (for strange, mad things the Richard has said or done). Other tags of interest to people outside my head include writing, cognitive therapy and links. I might get round to editing my journal style to include a list of all tags, or I might not. Like everything in my life, it's dependent on motivation ;)

the calendar never lies!

( Because I KNOW you're all fascinated by my menstrual cycle. Not actually TMI, but I imagine many of you don't want to read this :) )
