Woo hoo!

I defeated the Elite Four yesterday, as well as catching Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, and all the Regi- Pokemon. I'm set to take advantage of that auction whenever I choose...

On a completely separate note, I had forgotten how hard Legendaries are to catch. I think I had to restart the game about 8 times before finally catching Rayquaza, and I would have gone through a total of probably 60 Ultra Balls if I hadn't been shutting off the game every time I accidentally killed it. The others were hard to catch, too, but at the same time, there is an immense satisfaction in catching these impossible-to-catch Pokemon. Mostly because you have to skill to catch it without killing it - getting it down to under 10 HP, putting it to sleep, and just chucking Ultra Balls at it until it's subdued...it takes a fairly long time.

John came back from Chile yesterday. He regaled us with many awesome stories of his travels. It was really great to see him, and it's too bad that I only get to see him these last two weeks that both he and I will be in town. Ah, well. We all had dinner and then played Mario Party, which I'm sure is something that's going to happen fairly often in the next few weeks.

I haven't managed to see who won the Main Event of the World Series of Poker yet, so nobody tell me!

Oh, well...

I was reading the live updates for the WSOP this morning, and I found out that Scotty Nguyen busted out in 11th place. Blast. It would have been so cool if he won.

Also, I'm 2 badges closer to the Elite Four and thus being able to take advantage of that auction thing.

Too bad I don't have that much time to play today due to work and LSAT. Oh, well...

Hanging Out at the Cradle and other news

Got back home about an hour ago from the Cat's Cradle in Carborro, where MC Chris had a show. He is a total geek which is awesome - Drake and I pretty much agreed on that point when he opened his show to the Transformers theme song and the Ducktales theme song. His rapping was pretty good, too.

In WSOP Main Event news, it looks as though Gus Hansen busted. That sucks, I was pulling for him.

Got 2 badges down in Emerald, so I'm only 6 badges and 5 difficult battles away from unlocking the National Pokedex and obtaining legit legendaries...yeah, this is probably going to take like 2 weeks if I'm lucky...
