Welcome to the gun show (Seven Days of Selfies 4/7)

[nanila]

This ESA Rosetta mission shirt is only sold at the ESRIN site in Frascati, Italy. I call it the "Welcome to the gun show" shirt because I suspect its very form-fitting cut and perfunctory sleeves were designed for a svelte Italian man with large biceps to swan around on his scooter in his aviators. I'm better at eating gelato than hitting the gym regularly, so I'm afraid my guns aren't quite up to the task.

Anyway, I've been a bit busy lately what with updating several hundred requirements in our database (complete!) and submitting a grant application on behalf of the artist I'm hoping will be able to join me in January to document the final months of the Cassini mission (also complete!). Additionally, I acquired a new phone. I don't know what it is about new gizmos. Somehow even though it's running the same OS and is the same brand, just a bit bigger and faster, it has turned my fingers into hams and it's taken me the better part of two days to not be afraid to touch the damn thing. This was not helped by me forgetting which Google account I'd used to create my Pokémon Go account, logging in with the wrong one, and immediately being devastated to find I was back at Level 1. Eventually I figured out what had gone wrong, but not before a lot of lip-wobbling and wibbling unhappily at the bloke. I caught a Clefairy at Birmingham New Street station this morning, so I'm almost reconciled to the brief period of unnecessary mourning.

I decided not to port my Neko Atsume game data over from my old phone either, so I'm starting again from the beginning. AND I now have space to install The Room 3. WIN.

That is an apt description of the cut of the shirt!

[nanila]

I aspire to be cool enough for that shirt. :P

[omnipotent]

You look great and shirt looks great and your guns look great too. SO THERE :P Gelato is tasty though.

Awww, I'm glad you got the issue with Pokemon Go fixed.

[nanila]

Thank you! Yes, mmm, gelato.

I happily Pokémoned all the way back to my place of sleep last night. :)

Guns on deck, clearly.

Also, yay for deliberate replay value!

[nanila]

Ha! Yes indeed. :)

It turns out I'm enjoying Neko Atsume just as much the second time around.

I also reinstalled the earlier versions of The Room so I could replay those. Eerie puzzle games FTW!

[silveradept]

Yes, those are definitely eerie puzzle games. Got to play the second one and it was definitely strange.

Despite the fact that it made me twice as prone to server-crash for a while there, I am increasingly glad I went through the effort of beating the Pokemon Trainer's Club site into letting me make an account there, so I didn't have to use google. :P

[nanila]

Heh. Once I'd logged into the correct account, everything was fine. I happily Pokémoned all the way back to my place of sleep last night. Now Level 19! I suspect advancement from here is going to go even more slowly because a) work and b) not living in a city. ;P
