Small talk.

Most resort to the weather, particularly when they know that you work primarily outdoors. If they are out there with you, though, suddenly that lone card is off of the table and what remains can be nothing at all but silence. When I do my job I have many periods where I will be walking next to a person and nothing is said for minutes at a time. It becomes something of an aural staring match in my estimation, or at least makes me wonder about what I could do differently, if there is anything which I in fact should do differently. It's summer and daylight and thankless grunt work so perhaps the main reason for the silence is because nothing about the job is particularly pleasant. I can't say I feel particularly anxious or awkward in the times, despite what this passage may imply. In fact, in considering how I interacted with family and friends... well, friend, at the prior graduation party, I think that's probably all there is to it.

Extra Mode. Let's Go (to hell) Touhou.

There weren't a lot of songs in the Touhou set to begin with, and maybe half of them actually loaded, so I think I had an easy out. Did some cleanup through the folders to make sure I didn't have any other songs unplayed, of which I noticed the last three listed here. Seems that from here I should be able to attack failed songs as before and look for improvements, only with a much expanded roster.
