Apr. 20th, 2013 06:43 amMom has asked that I spend another week down here, given how much I got done and that Grandpa is all alone for most of the day.
Went for a ride with Grandpa around town yesterday. He showed me just how much of a toll Hurricane Sandy took months ago. People have moved away, businesses have been shut down, and not many people are out clamming this year.
Also ran a few errands, including going to a thrift store somewhere. I took the opportunity to buy a copy each of Super Princess Peach, Yoshi's Island DS, and Mario Party DS, all for $6 ($2 for each game). Couldn't be a better time for that. After having spent the entire past week writing some more of the endgame chapters for Starbound, I'm pretty much done writing for now, plus Uncle Robby has plans for most of today that Adam and I are probably gonna go on.

Last night, Uncle Robby took me and Adam to this Japanese restaurant called Sono. First, we had to go to Aunt Dawn's house to pick up Adam. On the way there, he told me that he read more of my fanfiction, and was curious about some stuff regarding Parasitic Trio. He asked who the eponymous trio were (those being Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf, one of Sinnoh's trios of legendary Pokemon), and I also explained that the fics themselves, while based on the Pokemon games, would be their own continuity of Pokemon. He didn't understand what a "continuity" was (among certain other writing terminology), and I used the Batman franchise as an anology, consisting among other continuities of the original TV series, the Batman/Returns/Forever trilogy, and the Dark Knight trilogy (and I should also mention various animated TV series such as The Animated Series, Batman Beyond, and The Brave & the Bold, not to mention however many comic book series there were).
(With Pokemon, there's the original anime, an obscure manga version of the anime, the main line of games starting with Red, Blue, and Yellow, various spinoff game series such as Pokemon Ranger and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, the Special Manga (also known as Pokemon Adventures), and this manga called Pokemon ReBurst, among other stories. They all have roughly most of the same characters, worlds, rules, etc., while having nothing to do with one another. Parasitic Trio would be an example of an unofficial continuity, made by fans not for profit rather than as part of the actual existing franchise.)
At the place, we sat at the sushi bar there, and I had a bowl of seaweed salad, and then shared various kinds of sushi with Robby. (This is the first time I have ever eaten sushi. I have once been to this other Japanese place called Shiki, but that was more of a hibachi place.)
Afterwards, we went next door to some make-your-own ice cream parlor.
Today, we have plans to revisit Andy and probably go out on his boat. Robby says we probably won't be home until 3 in the afternoon, so I'll probably bring YIDS to play at the house. Of course, I might end up just walking around outside instead of actually playing it, but one never knows.
