Progress... Sorta.

With the exception of school holding me back a bit, I've made some progress.


Still taking a break from TLoZ: Oracles of Seasons, still playing through Pokemon Black&White, made it through the first chapter of Dawkin's "The Greatest Show on Earth", and I've started up playing the American and Japanese Pokemon Yellow: The Special Pikachu Edition simultaneously. Asides from that, I haven't really done much else, due to both work and school. However, tomorrow I will be at a RUSH concert, so I should have pictures and much more from there. I will update again whenever time has been allotted.

Now with a side dish of Mystery~

...or just plain curiosity.

So a friend of mine showed me the Lost Silver hacked Pokémon game. I thought it was pretty interesting, and it actually made sense to me. She was kind of confused what the point of Celebi was, and I told her that it's known as the Time Traveling pokémon. Once understanding that, the whole thing fell into place as far as making sense goes.

Today, however, I was shown "Hypno's Lullaby". http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Lullaby%27s_Cave  I am -extremely- skeptical of this. So skeptical, that I'm going to use both my cartridge FireRed, and a different one to see if it is actually in game. If it was a hacked version that this person bought, then well, they wasted their money. Part of the reason why I'm skeptical is because in the entry, the author does not say -where- exactly the cave is, or even how far into the game they are. Just that they're "leveling their team up for the elite four". There were no hidden caves what so ever in the non-hacked version, much like the person states as they're scrambling through different guides to figure out what the hell is going on. However, Nintendo isn't a sick company. ._. And GameFreak would never -ever- put something like that into their game. That's what makes me firmly believe it was a hacked copy. But, that is also why I am going to use two different games to see if this cave really does exist, and if so, where it is.

I tried googling up a location for this so-called "Lullaby's Cave", and the only thing that came up was the wikia article. Go figure, right? No youtube videos or nothing. So it's probably just another one of those every day Memes. Either way, I'm very convinced that it's not true. At least there was evidence of Lost Silver, not to mention a video. This one doesn't seem to be as... solid in the foundation. None the less though, even though the story ruined poor Hypno, it's still an interesting story. And just so everyone gets this straight, the entry says, " It carries a pendulum-like device. There once was an incident in which it took away a child it hypnotized." A. Child. Not children. "Once was an incident." Once. Not multiple. So when I read the dialog saying "Children", that instantly makes me think it's fake. ._. Nothing about it makes sense. There really is only a select few ways to find out though. ~.~ Might as well start to it. I'm fairly certain though that it is just one of those creepy stories that just makes you sit there and think. I guess Creepypasta is good for that. -Shrug-

On a brighter note more worth attention, I found a website that lets you watch Pokémon episodes. <3 That made me quite happy. No downloading or nothing. It's a wonderful thing. http://pokemonepisode.org/

Off for the night, though. Wrestling with a printer is just too much work. That's more than my fair share of ink.

Dorkasaurus!?

So, however says that free books are "meh", the leave. Please. Free books are amazing! That is one thing I absolutely love about my Baker College (I'm sure all of their campus do the same thing). When they go to make room for new books in their library, they set out a couple of carts of older books that the students can take. You can take as many as you want... for free. Free books!? Fuck yea! Count me in. I picked up a lot. And while I know they have updated versions, I can still either read them, or use them for references.

Here are the list of books I obtained:

• Medical Terms -- Their Roots and Origins; A.R.Tindall
• Dictionary of Biotechnology; J. Coombs
• Stedman's Medical Speller; Stedmans
• Common Medical Abbreviations; Luis R. DeSousa
• Veterinary Clinical Parasitology; Margaret W. Sloss, Russell L. Kemp, Anne M. Zajac
• Microbiology for Veterinary Technicians; Ikram and Hill
• Physiological and Clinical Anatomy of the Domestic Mammals; A.S. King
• Awake to Wildlife -- Great Lakes Wildlife Almanac; Tim Nowicki (Just for funsys)
• Michigan Trees Worth Knowing; Norman F. Smith (Another just for funsys)

As you can see, I have an awkward style of "pleasure reads". But that's what makes me that much more interesting. Or... dorky... if you want to call me that. Either way, I'm -very- excited. I just have to figure out where I'm going to cram these. I have so many books, it isn't funny. x_o Well... it kinda is... But still. I need a bigger bookshelf. I really do... So many cookbooks, guildbooks, dictionaries, novels, manga... xD; I found out how many manga books I really have when we had to clear my room out for painting last spring. It was uh... quite pleasing, to some degree.

Any way, busy busy student with school work. So I thought I would leave a short note stating that I not only have a weird interest in books for reading, but also that I do plan to read them. I don't think I'll write anything about them though. You all might not find that interesting.

Danii signing off. :)

Homework Monster woke up. Homework Monster attacked with...

Yeaaa... That's right. ): College started back up this week. That means loads of homework and limited time for video games. No more can I marvel at my Minecraft creations. (Oh man, whatever will I do without my Minecraft~. /sarcasm)

Any way, on top of starting school, I started a 10 week reading challenge for myself. I'm started reading the brilliant book by Richard Dawkins entitled The Greatest Show On Earth. This man... he is fuckin' brilliant! I loved his series The Blind Watchmaker. I'm still interested in reading the book to that. He has so many good books, that I totally fan-girl over them. Even if my shameful country is included with this so-called "40 per-centers". Hell, I knew when it wasn't included in the "#1 Best Sellers" list, that uh... the U.S. was going to be in there. And sure enough, it was. I got a good laugh out of it. It's so true, and that's exactly why I hate my country some times. Because you have uneducated, religious things who think they're people, on top of thinking that you can teach the fictional course such as Creationism. Any teacher who teaches that, it must be painful for the scientist, but the teacher who enjoys teaching fables who is not an English major should uh... not have a job. .__. (That was the nicest thing I could say about it.) This book... oh man. It's so wonderful. And I'm not even all the way through the first chapter yet. Richard Dawkins, you may already know this, but you are a BRILLIANT man! I know that this book is going to be a good read. :)

I should also mention that I'm almost done with the first book to the Harry Potter series. It's a pretty quick read, I think. It flows nice and smooth, doesn't dabble any, and is straight to the point. Brilliant book as well. I can't believe I've waited this long in my life to read it. I'm looking forward to getting the second book eventually. When I'll have the time to read it, I have no idea.
