Let's continue the same.

What will the warm up be?

phantom ensemble, aliceblue, chase, bitterblossom dp-3, cosmic magic

OK well, the reason that yesterday's course seemed so long is because Phantom Ensemble was part of that set. It might be close to the four minute mark, I'm not sure. Bitterblossom and Comic Magic back to back is such a wonderful pairing. ...

I think I'll do something different today.

Not yet, though. Warmup course first.

angel wing, perditus paradisus, phantom ensemble, next stage!!, blueray reflections

This just kept going and going and going. I felt my brain wandering by the time Blueray came around, which may have well helped me play it decently. Perhaps it being the easiest chart in ...

8621; 3011 2599 1873 474 899 Combo 150 B -805

arabian rave night, コウソク*コンプライアンス, fascination maxx, 灼熱Beach Side Bunny, lunasa the stormchaser

Not totally sloppy for the miss count but I couldn't get good traction much of anywhere and couldn't get out of the C range throughout the songs. That I didn't come out of Arabian with a B seems ...

I programmed a new way to make timestamps now. Hooray.

夏録-TranceRemix-, Raison d'être~交差する宿命~, secrets, sleeping terror -you can't sleep tonight-, 雪月花

This felt like a set of "things you played recently" right from go. Raison d'etre going into Secrets was ugly, the latter was particularly ...

Had some fun stuff to attend to first. Now some business.

凛として咲く花の如く, wild clown, Voyage ~夢幻の彼方、永久の冥王星~, infinite cave, symptom

I guess I can take some small comfort in knowing that I can blindly fail to 38% no matter what ...

10948; 3898 3152 1263 364 850 Combo 419 A -1358

the ember, heaven's gate, kamaitachi, tears of blood, faerie

Couldn't handle Ember to open at all, out of it at 40% or something low. Nothing very extraordinary until Tears of Blood came around and gave me fits with the hold note phrases, particularly on the right hand hold parts where the other keys were on the sides and the charge was in the middle. Faerie and Heaven's Gate are cake, ...

9857; 3576 2705 934 258 702 Combo 201 A -631

thanatos, ghost rider, electric massive diver, binary rendezvous, bahram attack

Good open with Thanatos, out at like 60%+ or so I think. I've had better plays with Diver but still ok, and I did well with Rendezvous. Time to downgrade bahram attack. I have more 12*s to get to now.

majesty, altostratus, yakumo >> joint struggle, ubertreffen, session 9 -chronicles-

I think the ending two songs is really what sunk me the most in terms of poor count. The first two songs in particular I think I got through with the misses under 200 at least if not like 150 or something. Also came out of those two songs at 65% if not an A.

tranoid, 06 [for fantastica], 感情の摩天楼 ~ cosmic mind, mendes B14, gigadelic

Been a long time since I last seen a 2 in the thousands column for poors. Tranoid and Gigadelic were the only songs helping me out here. Had my fill of mendes B14 for a week.

gobble, lunatic rave, together (radio mix), bitterblossom dp 3, 夏録-TranceRemix-

Out of gobble at only 52% but I still was able to get a handful of phrases more cleanly than usual. By the end of bitterblossom I was at 50-something percent, so I'm glad that green summer pulled it back up.

5:23 PM 10/8/2011 ...

Having a shitty day.

8552; 3109 2334 800 266 879 Combo 253 A -693

marine snow, fake time, qqq, quasar, smile

Well in all honesty, that's not too bad of a play for this course, at least for it being the first of the day. Smile went rather well. Marine Snow and Fake Time, not so much.

eternal earth, angel wing, sphere, ...

I think I've put the header often enough.

Back from an unexplained six hour power outage. No storm, no wind, no warning, and no juice from when I got home from work until 11PM. Awesome.

10662; 3686 3290 1681 615 1437 Combo 155 B -294

dominion, extinction and reproduction, calls, addiction, 闘気に満ちた草原

Surprised I couldn't keep an A out of dominion. 65% I think it was. All bets are off ...

All songs are Double play charts, using Random key modifier, and have a rating of at least 12. Songs in the courses are selected at random. For most songs which have multiple 12 ratings, I modify it so that the highest type of chart (Black or Another) is the only 12; that way I play the hardest version of the song and ensure I don't play it twice in the same course.

Courses are played with the 100% Gauge. Yes, this is glorified practice.

Scores are given as: EX; J Great,

Picking up from yesterday.

Matador - 11/2096 - 1940; 595 750 428 187 284 B -388 Fail: Staccato song with a lot of three and four white note jacks while a note stream runs under current. Difficult chart. OK song, if a little unfocused and repetitive.

Mazy Mermaid - 12/1632 - 2012; 786 440 300 68 83 A -164 Fail: Empty melody with horrible Japanese singing. Could use more balance in having the counter melody strings beefed up and having more resonance in the bass. Pretty ...
