Pokemon Go is tough during winter. I had a stretch of days while I was sick and a stretch of days where it was far too cold to be outside (I need it to be, like, at least 20°F/-7°C to go out, and instead it was -15°F/-26°C.) and several stretches of days where everything is snowy and/or icy. I could go walk around an indoor mall, but that is not nearly as enjoyable as being outdoors for me. There have been some nice days though! And I managed to get a shiny Lugia from the 7-day research box and a shiny Luvdisc from the Valentine's day event.
I've started listening to podfics and audiobooks while I drive or play Pokemon Go, which is pretty fun too. The current audiobook I'm listening to is sort of hilarious and frustrating. The hero and heroine are delightful together, but the conflict comes from the hero's secret plot for the heroine that she doesn't know about, and I just do not get why he cannot sit down with her and explain what the heck he's doing. Mind, he hasn't explained to the reader either what he's doing because halfway through this book, his plan seems to be:
Step 1: Get a wife.
Step 2: Do not fuck your wife despite the fact that you both want to do it.
Step 3: ????
Step 4: Your family is saved! From some danger you have as yet to explain!
So I guess I'll see how this all pans out eventually, but I do not have high expectations.
I've also been getting into zines lately, which is somewhat odd for me because I...don't really buy fandom-related merch? Like, I think it's neat and I like seeing it and I get why other people like, but I don't want any for myself. Except now I've bought one, pre-ordered two more, and am thinking about getting a couple others. The one I bought and received gave me a lovely moment where the art worked together, so it inspired to buy the other two to try to recapture that moment. One of the two is like two months delayed at this point though, so I suppose I'm also learning about the potential pitfalls of zines. I did think it would probably be delayed even before ordering though because the schedule had it shipping the week before Christmas, which seemed destined for delays even if zero of the people involved celebrate Christmas. The other is on schedule as far as I know, so. It is an adventure!
