Reader Mailbag

Every Saturday I plan on opening my e-mail and pulling out some of the most interesting, funny, or pertinent questions asked by readers like you.

Hey everyone, this week was pretty intense. I motivated myself to write a whole mess of great posts, and I've got a list of additional ones I plan on writing. This week marks the start of my reader mailbag, where I publicly answer questions sent to me by readers. If you have a question, and want it to appear on the reader mailbag, just send it to me!

Lotadlover3 writes: Hey I saw your post on Pokemon Soulsilver the other day and was curious how you felt about Black and White coming out this month.

Well Lotadlover3, I can tell you that it certainly looks interesting, and if I wasn't in Afghanistan I'd probably go out and pick up at least one of them. For those of you not familiar with the Pokemon games, Black and White are the newest additions to the series. They take place in a whole new country, which is supposed to be far away from the Japan-expy that is Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh. The new games are supposed to add at least 30 new Pokemon, which will bring the total to over 500. For more information for those of you who are interested, check out the Serebii.net article.

Thanks for your support TexasPeter99! Temperatures are generally over 100 degrees F where I'm at, as I imagine they are in the rest of the country. Luckily I work nights, so I don't have to deal with a lot of the heat during the day. I'm really anticipating the winter here, because from what I've seen it snows quite a bit, and I love snow.

I'm currently working on establishing a schedule so that all my topics of posting are covered. I'll publish that in a few days once I've worked out the kinks. And don't worry Republicrat08, there will be plenty of politics to come, so stay tuned and keep reading!

TheRealTomSayer: Why don't you do more posts about Rush?! I love Rush!

I really enjoy Rush too, TheRealTomSayer. I've contemplated adding some posts about music on the blog, but I doubt I could make it a regular thing because I don't listen to a lot. Keep an eye out, as I may begin adding music posts to the mix when I've worked out my posting schedule. Until then, try to enjoy my other posts and keep commenting! 

That wraps it up for this week's reader mailbag. If I didn't get to your question this week, don't worry, if it's interesting, funny, or pertinent enough I might get to it next week. In other news, keep your eyes peeled for the upcoming MASTER SCHEDULE, which I'm creating to determine what to post about on what days.
