"Epitome" and Pencil-Fixer by Design

Hmmm...okay, what did I do today....

Got up at around 11 (oh, it was glorious). Then I had me some cereal; two bowls...I also thought dark thoughts when Bro had two big bowls of cereal at 2pm. See how I'm a hypocrite?

Which reminds me of Bro saying he was the epitome of laziness:

"I find what you're doing amusing, but it's too strenuous to watch."

Basically, he found what I was doing laughable, but he was too lazy to watch me do it; he worked up a sweat just by looking at me work.

Here's the punch-line, though: he pronounced it "eh-PIH-tuh-me", and I told his it's "eh-pih-tome". xD

Fail.

So. Hard.

I should start reading the dictionary again...I've gotten dumber less intelligent than my younger brother.

I spent a good part of my day playing Pokémon Platinum. What I actually did in there for about 5 hours I don't know. I started out training my Snorunt so it'd evolve into a Froslass, but I was doing double-battles, so I thought I'd train Riolu while I was at it. Poor thing; it wanted to evolve at level 23, but I delayed it and let it evolve at 24. I think I wanted it to learn all its moves first.

Then...I went to Victory Road to train Snorunt since there's mostly rock- or flying-type Pokémon in there, but my level 38 Snorunt kept fainting against level 41-43 Rhyhorn. But guess what? My newly-evolved level 24 Lucario kicked all their asphalt.

¬ .¬ Yyeeeah....Snorunt's got a long way to go before she's ready to take on Cynthia's dragon-types.

After my DSi died, I played on my DS until that one died, and then I drew. I needed to get some clothes on this girl I'm drawing. So I designed an outfit. The hardest part is the boots/shoes. I'm too lazy to draw the details that would distinguish different shoes from each other. So, all my shoes look the same (aside from whether they have zippers or laces or they slip on).

I got to the zipper of the left boot, and I remembered that I got a 0.3 mm lead pencil for Christmas; I could use that for the fine details. So I got my pencil and drew the zipper...

And then something went wrong. No lead was coming out. I could go on for days describing the incident, but long story short:
I had to take my pencil apart and learn how it worked, then put it back together and took it back apart a few times. I knew what was wrong, too. The mechanism that holds and dispenses the lead was too loose and open, and as a result, the lead was going all over the place and splintering. 
After moving this around and fiddling with that and munching on dinner, I got it to work. Finally. I was sooooo happy.
Pacific Arc RDP-603 0.3mm

There it is; the pencil that gave me so much trouble and took up about 15-20 minutes of my life.

I must go back to drawing now; but I think I'll say something about my drawing on Doodlistic.

Water's a BOSS.
