-----
Had an appointment w/ Dr. Perret yesterday, so I arranged a bus a week in advance to come pick me up at 1:00 P.M. Watched an episode each of Godannar, Kanon, and Pani Poni Dash, sent a note to Melissa asking if she had any upcoming days off, heard back from someone about the colored version of a Sailor Moon group pic he was working on, and replied to him asking to fix Rei's hair color, all just in time before my bus came.
Went to the hospital, and Mom let me buy a snack at the cafeteria before we left. Along with a cookies 'n' cream Nesquik, I got myself something that looked like a ring-ding with M&M's and a zig-zag of white icing, but turned out to be a cookie with a center layer of cream. Both items costed just $5.06 together, out of combined money that was either sitting in my dresser drawer (since my purchase of Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia) or was left on the kitchen counter by Mom as bus fare.
I started eating the cookie in the car, and allowed Mom to have a bite, but she said it was so big that it would probably be best if I saved half of it for later.
If my appointment had been scheduled for next week instead of yesterday, we could've made efficient use of our time then by stopping at Toys 'R' Us so I can download Pikachu onto my Pokemon games. However, we did have other errands to run, including some rather urgent grocery shopping (which we had time to do before the appointment).

After we left, Mom drove to the carwash station, and then to the post office to redeem my money order. While we were at the former, Mom asked me if Pokemon Battle Revolution actually makes use of the player's motions. If I'm correct, though, it doesn't, because the gameplay probably consists of entering commands during turn-based battles. She asked me what the point would be for porting something onto the Wii if the controls are still standard fare. In that game's case, chances are, it's because Nintendo, being the company that both owns the rights to make Pokemon games and put out the console, needed something TV-based for that particular game (instead of the Nintendo DS) and is obviously not going to make any version for its competitors' consoles.
For that matter, I also told her that a lot of DS games use the stylus mainly for menus, and there are even games that make no use of the stylus at all. Contra IV, which I owned up until recently, is a good example, in that it doesn't even make separate use of the two screens either (at least not during the gameplay). Why Konami or Wayforward (whichever was responsible) bothered porting that one onto the DS instead of the Playstation Portable is anyone's guess, although I am aware of the existence of an inferior version of the same game for mobile phones.

When we got home, I was so full from such a sugary snack as I had from the hospital that I didn't feel like doing anything but sleep. I did wake up every now and then to check for messages, but I didn't bother having dinner.
