Pokémon, Doctor Who, and Goals for March
So the month is coming to an end and I've already fallen short of my goal to watch one season of Classic Doctor Who per month, but I'm okay with shifting that goal post to finishing 70's Classic Who in 2019 (which still averages 11 seasons for this year). It might actually be a decent cut off point since I know off-hand that the Fourth Doctor's final season is pretty heavily tied to the rest of 80's Classic Who.
That said, there is one goal I absolutely MUST fulfill in March, and that is finishing the back-up of as much as I can of Kitayume, the website of Hidekaz Himaruya (creator of Hetalia) before geocities shuts down. Content will inevitably be lost and I know I'll probably spend the first two weeks of April deeply depressed about this, but I've already backed up a LOT and I need to get off my ass and do what's left while I still have the chance. I honestly wish I had been able to channel my depression from January into this project because I probably would have been "done" by now.
The announcement for Gen 8 of Pokémon happened yesterday and I have mixed feelings about it. Part of this is because I have a huge Alola/Gen 7 bias and I still haven't finished playing those games (goal for this summer?), but I honestly was not impressed with the starter designs. I loved the Gen 7 designs right off the bat but these feel so blah, which is basically how I felt about the Gen 6 starters tbh. I'll probably go with Scorbunny since his design is easily the best, unless the evolution designs really sway me in a different direction. That said, the setting and the design of the actual game so far looks FANTASTIC and successfully convinced me to drop money on a Switch. That probably won't happen until late Spring at the earliest though, since I STILL need to get off my ass and buy a new computer and I don't want to make two big purchases that close together. (It would be kinda nice to have a Switch with me when I go to Anime Expo though.)
Lately I haven't done much aside from going to bed ridiculously early and binge-watching Fresh Off the Boat. I've been trying to rewatch Arrested Development since what we all know is gonna be the final season is releasing in a couple of weeks but I've had a really hard time getting back into it. To be honest, it feels much more dated now than it did the first time I watched it back in 2014. I also need to get back into more Star Wars stuff but to be honest, aside from Resistance which is having it's season finale in March, I'm probably gonna put that off until April at least because I'm just so busy with other media right now.
I'm also gonna try to be better about posting here and responding to other people's entries, but I know everyone else is kind of hitting that same roadblock so at least we're all in this together.
