The Worst Witch [All series]

Well, I finally re-watched the whole thing yesterday. And by the whole thing, I mean all of the different series, excluding only the Weirdsister College. I might do that as well if I really have nothing else to watch, but so far, I do have some things left. Back to the Worst witch. The 2017 remake is the best. Honestly. Pippa Pentangle and Hecate Hardbroom are the absolute best thing in the whole thing. Bummer Pippa is in only two episodes. Oh well… Nothing to do about it now. I mean, nothing against the original series or the 'New Worst Witch', but the remake is the best. Yes, a lot of the things there are very much different than what's in the original, but I think it actually makes it better. New things for us to see while keeping some of the old. For example, we get more of Mildred's backstory and even get to see her mom and, by season 4, her dad. 

Shiny Bulbasaur

I was playing Pokémon GO on my way home from work, and when I was about three-quarters there, I saw a Bulbasaur, so I decided to catch it. I tend to catch anything and everything just to farm some stardust. And lo and behold, he was shiny. So I'm keeping him. I'm planning to evolve him to Ivysaur and keep him as such, as Ivysaur looks a lot better than a Venusaur in my opinion. Frankly, I would have preferred a shiny Charmander (no party hat), but oh well, beggars can't be choosers. I'll get my shiny Charmander eventually. I just know it. But for now, I'm happy with my Bulbasaur. 

I guess that's all I really wanted to say right now. So I'll see you next time.

Books vs. E-books vs. Audiobooks

I have several bookshelves full of books. Books, I've been collecting since my early teens. I honestly haven't added a single book in at least a year. And even then, it was probably something I found at the free library at a local bus stop, where you can take or swap books and other things, or leave books and other things you no longer want for other people to browse through. 

Why? Because I have a Kindle app on my phone. Had it for at least six or seven years. I had an actual physical Kindle before the app, so the app itself would be for like four years or so. But I've been reading e-books for about seven years. And then I found audiobooks. Those were something I was avoiding like the plague at first, for some reason. A reason I no longer remember. But, I have an office job (most days), and I'm the only one in the room (most days). And well, what am I supposed to do while working? So I listen to audiobooks while I work. If my colleague can listen to the radio, then I can listen to an audiobook. And the problem is that 99% of the books in my bookcase are in Czech. And all of my e-books and audiobooks are in English. So, obviously, I have duplicates. The question is, what should I do with the physical books that I also have as an e- or audiobook? I'm thinking of just offering them to my relatives because I'm honestly starting to think it's pointless to keep them if I have them on my pc and phone to listen to/read anytime.
