There were many days where I wondered what it would be like to have a cat of my own. Then, I have days like today, where the cat wants nothing more to do than to be held against my chest and rest for a forty minute stretch. I don't care how damned cute you are, holding ten pounds of fur right under your nose for the better half of an hour is nothing short of uncomfortable.

Now that my arm has regained consciousness, I can start this.

Yeah, I probably shouldn't have passed up Starmine a few days ago when I was in 4th Style for EX. That'll learn me. Most of the Random rolls through this gave me a lot of 23 chords on the left, so that being considered I think I did rather well. Had a good run with the opening phrase of Quasar to the point where I think it is honestly making sense to me, and that I was just under a B at the end of it where I was back to that rank within a few measures of Beginning Of Life. Quasar was also the most difficult chart in this set, and if I played it without Random I could probably get down to about 600 misses or so at least, depending on how I'd handle that chart.

Nemesis is coming up in 6th Style EX. I cannot wait.

Nothing short of incredible. I was definitely bugged by not passing Something Wonderful when playing this, despite... well, actually, because it didn't have an increase in EX mode, so I'm glad that I finally managed to clear it now. Otherwise, a day when I have eight new score entries is rather rare, and probably has to go back to the time when I was increasing everything over old records in Sirius because it was against stricter timing. I'm pretty sure I've said it before, but days like today are what keeps me playing.

I did have some coffee earlier today - but only one glass, which is less than my usual dose for a work day. I wonder if I've found the delicate line between "energized" and "spastic" with caffiene intake today.
