★ The Detective Pikachu movie now has an official trailer and it is two and a half minutes of revelations that may or may not horrify you, depending on how you feel about things like a live-action Pokemon movie with the title pokemon being voiced by Ryan Reynolds. I didn't instantly hate it....actually, I kinda want to see it now?! I think Detective Pikachu is pretty cute. (still not sure about him having a human voice, sort of) The other pokemon are hit or miss. I'm glad Greninja is creepy-looking because a human-sized frog with the strength to break you in half and a tongue long enough to wrap around its body is inherently terrifying and it's a testament to the extreme cuteness of Pokemon overall that it usually comes across as cool instead of nightmarish. Jigglypuff is a little off-putting on first viewing but the more I think about the alternatives (basically, a big, smooth ball of human-like flesh...) the more I appreciate it. Bulbasaur is...okay? I wish they were a little cuter somehow, but they are growing on me.

★ I spent about 3 hours practicing my clinical trials for my test tomorrow. I feel more confident now than I did yesterday, but I'm still extremely nervous about missing a critical step and failing, or just blanking out hard-core once I'm in the test room. I'm trying to tell myself it's not that bad if I fail one portion of the test because I can easily retake that part, but it's not working too well.
