For the past week, when I go to bed, I’ve tried listing all 151 Kanto pokemon in my head.

it has worked like a charm for calming my thoughts, keeping me focused on something semi simple and rote, and it’s lowkey been a lot of fun!

I get in bed and immediately count to 15 for the starters and the Weedle and Caterpie line cause those are basically gimmies. My strategy is to try to name all the standout pokemon, single evolution lines, the trade lines, the end of the Pokedex, and I even count on my fingers. I can usually get to 80-120.

that’s when the real trick starts. When I start going through Pokemon in my head, I try to think of core memories from the videogames to see if any lines stick out from that. Last night I named Hitmontop and Hitmonlee for the first time, I had totally forgotten about them until I thought of that dojo.

and the trick is that as I focus on trying to name the next pokemon, sometimes my mind wanders into la land, and I let it. Next thing I know, I’m asleep and haven’t even hit 151

and I assume you could do it with any region you’re pretty familiar with, or even the whole Pokedex if you’re too good!

i haven’t tried it yet, but I think it would also be good for anxious moments in public or intimate moments in private (like how some guys say to take their minds off “things” they rattle off baseball statistics in their head, so why not Pokemon?)

would love to let other people know about this trick, and see what they think! Also I’m sure I’m not the first person to think of it

My friend uses one of those apps where you take pictures of receipts and get rewards. Stop and shop is obviously a goldmine.

Do you think a. I would get in any trouble for taking the receipts out of the little receipt trash cans at the end of the night b. Would it be too brazen (I’m well known and well liked by customers) to ask for their receipts as they’re leaving when doing self checkout?

I figure as long as I’m surreptitious about it and don’t do it in front of managers (who love me anyway, but don’t think it’s necessary to know) I just want to know if LP would take issue

I did this once before on a different account, and had a lot of fun sharing my bullshit with you guys, but there’s a lot more to share if anyone is interested

banned notes because they’re too frequently asked: 1, 67, 69, 420, 666, and 1,496

I feel like one of the hallmarks of Bob’s is trying to lead you down one day for an episode and then making it wholesome. The most obvious one recently was the one with Nat and the angry driving. Totally guessed the twist, they were too heavy handed with making Nat not totally amazing, I knew something was up. Of course my favorite is the haunted house episode, even watching it on repeat it’s so good.

so what about you? have you guessed a big twist once, have you been totally fooled? what’s your favorite?

I love it, it’s the perfect combination of mayo and whatever else, but $9.99/tub for like $2.32 in ingredients is becoming a tough sell recently

After I hit 10,000 I realized I don’t think I added R&B, but I did some quick searching and it seems luckily some artists made it on there. I’m not sure if the hip hop playlist I added had R&B too
