Weather: clearly autumn now

[schneefink]

I played Pokémon Go for the first time today! I can now, because I have a new phone. I needed a new phone so I could install the messenger my mom uses to send pictures from Bolivia (Signal), which didn't work on my old one. (I kept putting it off because I was afraid it would be a hassle, then of course there was a problem with the sim card for the new phone that took hours to solve, ugh.)
Anyway, now I am a pokémon trainer. I hope it'll get me to take a walk on days I am otherwise too lazy to leave the house, let's see how well it'll work.

Now that DD has moved in it's much easier to watch hockey games together :) We watched the first game of the World Cup yesterday, Europe vs. USA, and were surprised and happy when Europe won 3-0. Tomorrow we'll be rooting for team Europe to beat the Czechs.

Today we watched "X-Men: Apocalypse." Not a particularly good movie, but parts of it were entertaining. It's a bit of a problem that I like neither this Charles nor this Erik, especially Charles. Arrogant naïve mind-raping stupid asshole. Ah well, some of the action scenes were nice.

Best summary ever. Hee!

I mean, I was a fan of the cartoons and the comics as a teen, I watched all the old XMen movies, and I rather like Mr McAvoy (and have watched some not-great films because of him). And even I was a bit ho-hum about X-Men: Apocalypse. On the good side, the Quiksilver scenes were fantastic.

I loved Quicksilver! I had seen the rescue-from-the-mansion scene before on Youtube, so I was looking forward to that.

I haven't seen McAvoy in any other roles (except Tumnus, I don't think that counts); I didn't like his face, but I think that was more the character than the actor.

I've liked him since first seeing his extremely blue eyes in Bright Young Things, and I definitely liked him in Shakespeare Retold (I have a softness for MacBeth).

Aaaah, welcome to the world of the pokemon trainer! It's both fun and frustrating. :3

I walked around for half an hour yesterday (not specifically for Pokémon, but still) until I realized that you have to put eggs into an incubator for it to count... I'm not interested enough yet to look up tips and tricks so I'll just experiment, let's see how that goes.
