Having a shitty day.

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, session 9 -chornicles-, solid state squad

So far so good, it seems. Sphere and SSS aren't so difficult to time, but still there's not a pitifully easy chart in this set so I feel good about this result.

VIP ~飛べない俺はただのｸﾏ, exusia, binary rendevous, blocks, she's an esper -esper mode-

Bookended by very tiring charts. VIP is four minutes and She's an Esper is a justified 13* for the rather dense chord rolls that are demanded. Second half of exusia is such child's play compared to the first half. Binary Rendezvous and Blocks went fine.

Nu Known, then Exusia. Once is enough today. Next.

lunatic rave, hverfa, almagest, sleeping terror -you can't sleep tonight-, ワルツ第17番 ト短調"大犬のワルツ"

Luck might be running out. Held an A through LR but hverfa and almagest knocked me down very thoroughly. Finally better with scratching on sleeping terror - I think it might just be the worry about the random three-note chords on the other hand which distract me too much. Hopeless for Dog Waltz.

steel needle, sekilishuken, dimension block, extinction and reproduction #2, arabian rave night

All things told I guess I didn't do as bad as normal with Steel Needle, at least it didn't feel like it. Sekilshuken is just nastiness for most of the chart - no way I can hack those holds. Dimension Block finally felt marginally better. For Ex&Rep2 I had some good fortune with the ending scratch fest, and did moderately well with arabian.

I was expecting much worse tonight. Go figure.
