Today I was pleased to discover that I had a surprise day off; I spent the morning in town with Catriona which was awesome as I haven't seen her since Christmas. It was great catching up with everything that's happening.
The title of this post is not an emo statement in any way, it is explaining the effect the new Pokemon game has had on me. The game rules and every single "classic" pokemon I encounter makes me start screaming like a fanboy. I say "like" a fanboy, but it might be more appropriate to say "as" a fanboy... anyway, I properly used the Pokewalker today, using it to capture two pokemon, interact with Jamie's pokemon, find some items and train my Sandshrew. What Nintendo have done with the pokewalker is incredible, and really adds another dimension to the game.
The only real down point of the day was the horrific weather; walking through Drum to get a lift to town this morning I felt like a Polar Explorer. The wind was so bitter I felt like my face was going to fall off, it was actually getting painful after a while. Given that it's Easter this weekend, thus the beginning of Spring as decreed by the Vatican, having it attempting to Snow for the most part of today is unacceptable. It appears that it is continuing to be stormy this evening, as I am remaining locked up in my house not venturing outside to investigate, but there has so far been two power cuts which is really getting on my nerves. I'm hoping that it stays active for the duration of typing his blog.
Tomorrow I'm back at work, this time working through to Sunday. If you happen to see me tomorrow, you may notice a tiny pokeball attatched to my trousers...
