Runs on Coffee and Cream

Hello May! Let's start this month on a fun and positive note...

1. I'm so addicted to Pokemon Y right now and I've found a new-to-me Pokemon to obsess over: Amaura! I grew up with the original Pokemon, Gen 1. I knew of the odd Pokemon from later generations but I didn't play the games, so I didn't know them well. Now, playing Pokemon Y for the first time, I'm finding so many new Pokemon to love. Amaura is the newest obsession and team member for me. As Adam has pointed out, Pokemon must meet a certain cute factor for me to put them on my team.


2. I've always been a huge fan of the t-shirt sites out there. TeeFury has been one that I've purchased from often. They released a new shirt recently that I'm crazy about. Ghosbusters x Golden Girls mash up? Yes please! Even Sophia's purse made it into the design!


3. Star Wars Day is coming up and unfortunately I'm too busy to bake up something Star Wars themed, but that doesn't mean I can't admire all the amazing Star Wars goodies showing up online. I really wish this cake had a source link attached to it on pinterest. For now, let's all admire this amazing Star Wars cake!

I highly doubt I have to explain to anyone what Pokemon Go is. If so, just check out this post about the new Pokemon app. Since late Sunday night, when the game was officially released in Canada, I have gone on 4 walks in my neighbourhood to look for Pokemon. This game is seriously going to get me in shape at this rate considering it's only Wednesday.

To share my love for Pokemon and how much fun I'm having playing Pokemon Go, I rounded up my top favourite Pokemon t-shirt designs that have been popping up in my email inbox (thanks to TeeFury, RiptApparel, and TeeTurtle).


Clockwise from top right box:

1. Where's the Gym? by TeeTurtle
2. Certified Trainer by Oktobear
3. Tiny Turtle Trained by Huino
4. Gotta Fit Them All by DoOomcat
5. PikaPooh by Ste7en Lefcourt

Have you been playing Pokemon Go? Are you enjoying it? The servers have been a little unstable this week and my phone has the worst GPS signal apparently since my trainer is constantly running around the map, but overall we're having a fun time catching Pokemon!

There's no hiding my love for the X-Men universe, even if the movies are not the most amazing. I'll still be seeing the next movie, X-Men: Apocalypse, this weekend and I'm excited to see how the new actors do as some of the characters.


In preparation for the new movie, I made an X-Men wish list. I'm seriously longing for the Mystique dress...


1. Storm T-Shirt
2. Phoenix Hoodie
3. Mystique Dress
4. First Class T-Shirt
5. Jubilee Poster

Will you be seeing the new movie? I'm super curious to see how Apocalypse, Jubilee, Storm, and Angel are portrayed.

This week's 5 Fandom Friday is a fun one because I'm constantly looking for geek clothes, accessories, and gadgets!

Let's get to it...

1. TeeFury



I'm sure you've heard of at least one of the many websites that sells geeky t-shirt designs for a 24-hour period and then they disappear (until another site sells the same design at a future date). I've been addicted to these sites for years now and have bought some super awesome geeky mash-up shirts. TeeFury tends to be the site I buy from the most. I'm always squeeing at their designs.

2. Hallmark



A little weird, right? Not anymore! In the last couple of years they've started carrying geeky things - Itty Bittys and housewares (mugs, picture frames, etc.). And they're all SO cute! Their Star Wars merchandise and Itty Bitty line keep me coming back.

3. Teeturtle


Teeturtle is a Canadian company that makes cute geeky designs to print on t-shirts, hoodies, and socks. Their designs are super adorable and I kind of want everything on their site.

4. Look Human


I was introduced to Look Human a couple of years ago through social media. One of my twitter friends would post the cutest Sailor Moon-inspired tanks and I had to know where she got them. Look Human! They have an amazing collection for cat lovers and coffee addicts so the company has won me over. But their fandom designs are what grabbed my attention initially. I also finally got one of their Harry Potter-inspired 'Always' tanks for Christmas this year!

5. EB Games aka GameStop



My husband has a video game addiction and I also dabble in video games myself. This has me visiting an EB Games location almost weekly. I'm pretty sure our local store employees could recognize us anywhere. Slowly they've been bringing more items into the store besides video games.... Pop! Vinyl figures, board games, Nintendo Christmas ornaments, t-shirts, blind boxes. So now the store has become even more appealing to me.

What are you favourite geeky stores? I'm always looking for new places to check out!
