September album quilt. I love the new Team Dresch and Tom Morello albums. I had never heard of Speed Stroke before but their new album is a ton of fun. I like the new The Tremolo Beer Gut a lot and greatly respect their commitment to the bit of just always reusing the same album art for 30 years.

I picked up a pack of Pokémon Kisses and the first one I got was Gloom. Might be a bad omen.

The Global Challenge kicked my ass. Lost an embarrassing 20 games. Took notes on losses to see how to improve later but seems like the only take away is don't rely on Muddy Water. Anyway, posting it all here so that the timeline isn't all people with 40+ wins making the rest of us feel bad.

I made a bad play. Went for useless damage instead of following the win condition.
Heat Wave burned both my physical attackers.

Missed 3 Muddy Water. Thunderbolt paralysis. Poisoned by Poison Jab Annhilape. Muddy Water got an accuracy drop on the Annhilape and activated Defiant, it didn’t miss any moves after.

I made a bad read.

Looking at the early Seattle area VGC locals for this season and you don't know how thankful I am for more weekday and afternoon Challenges this year. Now if we can just get some Cups outside of work hours I'd be in buisness.

Alright this has been sitting untouched in the bottom of my closet for 10 years. Do I bust it out for Worlds in San Francisco this week? Or do I keep it in storage thinking it'll be worth something eventually?

Sometimes I feel like a bad season ticket holder. It's been a month since I was able to make it for a game... and that was an away game. But we're here for the first of 2 this weekend.

Looks at usage data: Wow, I can't believe Rotom-W is so low. It's strong into most of the top mons and it pairs with everything. Plays a few battles, Rotom hits 2 for 4 on WoW and 1 for 7 with Hydro Pump: Okay maybe the usage is right where it should be.

I've gone every year since 2010 (usually as a player) and this year has been the worst to buy tickets for despite the earlier than normal announcement. They even announced a presale for early bird prices, before indefinitely postponing it the day they were supposed to go up!
