8/17: Sunday rambles and links

I realize I don’t post on here nearly as often as I should.  I guess part of it’s because I freelance write and despite my love of writing, I find it different to write on my blog.  Yeah…I need to work on that.  Outside the blog sphere, I did come back from vacation last Saturday night and we had our first day of students on Wednesday.  It’s nice to be back in the groove of things, but I definitely miss my friends and family back home.  This coming weekend I’ll be seeing quite a few at a book sale and Doctor Who party though, so no worries there!

I love pumpkin spice lattes, but releasing them August 25th is criminal Starbucks.  It’s not even September!

Pokemon X (Nintendo 3DS)

I can’t remember if I posted about it, but I was saving up to buy a 3DS.  Long amazing story short, a friend gave me the last $20 I needed to get it and bought my pearl pink 3DS with Pokémon X!  I’ve been playing it all weekend (after finally beating Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, darn 27 final bosses).  I’m very impressed with it so far and can’t wait to play more later today!  With that last bit, I leave you with the wise words of the fourth Doctor;
