have you ever thrown a fistful of glitter in the air?

So, a bit from RL. No one panic; this won't happen that often.

The last Community Day for Pokemon Go happened on June 16th, but that was a very busy day, and the two following were no less busy, so I'm only getting to it now. I wanted to upload a few images, though.

When Pokemon Go launched, I had zero interest. I admit it. It didn't hook me. In fact, the iPod I had at the time couldn't even download the mobile program to run it, so why bother? I still don't know what changed, but about a month ago, the loves got me into it, and I fell hard.

The first Community Day I was part of was for Charizard, and I didn't understand all of the rules yet. I'm still surprised I managed to evolve two, one Shiny (which turned dark when fully evolved), and one normal. I did okay, basically, but I could have done better.

Two days ago, Niantic launched Larvitar for the Community Day festivities. This was the first one I caught:



I caught a few other things, and then my second roundboi, a Spheal:



and finally caught a wailmer:



We were sitting in a local park for this. (The iPod GPS is strange in that, generally, I can sit in one place while my Pokemon avatar runs around like a madwoman, so I get to hit all the PokeStops, and, occasionally, the gym. Others had to walk the park, back and forth, looking for the same things I got from sitting in one place. Yeah, it's kind of cheesy, but it's not a cheat--it's just the GPS interface for Apple products is fairly crap.)

This is the park:



And this is the tree we spent the three hours of the Community Day under:



It's a very pretty tree, and it only dropped one spider on me, and I can't really blame the tree for that. And the spider was pretty understanding about being relocated.

She was pretty. She was pale peach. Sadly, I have no picture of her.

Anyway, it was pretty fun. I ended up with (in addition to the other random Pokemon I caught) two pretty impressive Tyranitars, one fairly decent shiny Tyranitar, and one shiny Pupitar. Neat.

And...that's it, I just wanted a blog commemoration.

Oh, yeah, and this...



Yeah, okay. That's it.

it's just your shadow on the floor

(This section was written on July 11th...) Great. Sat myself down today after oversleeping, and told myself sternly I was not going to log...
