I took a few pictures of discarded shopping lists today, as I haven't seen much of anything about that lately. Sure enough, there's still plenty of places which do that now, so I probably won't bother with it after all.
Draft.

For most other families it was Sunday when the best attire was to be flaunted in public, but for Marcus, that day was Saturday. This Saturday began and bore on like so many others before it. There was first the long trip downtown to go to the steam room, where a change of clothes would be waiting for both him and his father, which always included a side visit to the club's manager which had to occur in the seclusion of the manager's office. Then came the walk to a nearby apartment where a man called Louis was there to receive them, as he was today. As he did the last few times, Louis bore an expression of pure delight and greeted with embraces for Carbondale and Marcus, as if they were related. What Marcus found odd was how Louis, nor anyone else who would ever be seen in the apartment, could be considered to live in this place, as it never had no furniture of any kind within it. Marcus would have to stand to the side and remain standing and silent while his Dad would speak with someone like he was with Louis now. The two men discussed something about a wheel and how it "wasn't getting good play", for which Louis asked "how many stickies can we roll in the drum?". Carbondale told Louis that the test that they ran shown it wouldn't work without the balls sticking to each other, and spoke of it more, but Marcus stopped paying attention to the discussion and looked down to the floor in boredom. He did notice before that not only did this apartment not have any furniture, but it didn't have any kind of carpeting as well. The floor was completely fixed with white tile and shown several large streaks of scuff marks and abrasion. The floor bore signs of much more traffic than he would think should happen in a place that nobody seems to really live in. His father speaking the words "All right - until the next time." snapped his attention back to the two men. This was a standard phrase his Dad used and said in a tone that he knew it was intended for a direct end to the discussion. Louis smiled warmly and took up Carbondale's hand with both of his own and shook it vigorously, then patted his hands on Marcus's shoulders before saying, with a laugh, that "Your Daddy always knows those score, mhm. He's always in the know." Carbondale gave a simple and demure smile with a nod in response, then leaned his head to the side while looking at Marcus, signaling him to leave the room first.

Extra Mode. The Usual.
Lot of Japanese titles crept into play today. Not a good opening at all with the double fail at Dominion, which I guess isn't too surprising to be honest - I recall playing the song on PS2 Empress and having bouts where I'd either be close or way off, but never in between. Like Limited from yesterday, Alien Temple is probably something I should have passed the first time if I wasn't so lackadaisical about hitting jacks. Regardless, it's passed and done, so that much is nice. While I did have five increases (even if for awful charts like She's An Esper), the new clear, and didn't do worse than the Dominion pair for the rest of the session, playing still didn't sit very well with me. I'm not sure why. Regardless, a day of licks is what the doctor orders.Code:EX% & Rank EX.p/f pg.gr.gd.bd.pr combo nc onc %+ date dominion @ 57.86 B 1898.F 632.634.284.14.153 0226 2012-06-24T23:45:40:932Z 0397- 0053- dominion 59.51 B 1952.F 653.646.278.17.117 0254 2012-06-24T23:53:06:186Z 0343- 0025- alien temple @ 69.42 A 1580.P 604.372.128.7.56 0177 1138 1084 004.98 2012-06-24T23:59:43:514Z 08.45+ 0169+ 103+36-62-3-14- 0010- 2012-04-01T00:12:39:402Z laser cruster @ 39.72 D 1667.F 582.503.543.185.635 0068 2098 1254 067.30 2012-06-25T00:06:19:883Z 02.00+ 0084+ 49+14-34+34-129- 0002+ 2012-04-11T04:01:29:058Z エコ爺 @ 52.96 B 1914.F 681.552.407.59.236 0075 2012-06-25T00:11:03:785Z 0100- 0066- 虹色 @ 50.17 C 1697.F 636.425.327.117.433 0065 2012-06-25T00:13:55:737Z 0053- 0035- marie antoinette @ 50.79 C 1727.F 587.553.304.69.350 0176 2012-06-25T00:17:02:810Z 0150- 0008+ crossroad @ 68.95 A 1746.F 674.398.105.22.137 0133 2012-06-25T00:19:48:945Z 0118- 0083- eternal earth @ 37.73 D 1295.F 462.371.458.87.523 0088 2012-06-25T00:27:23:433Z 0020- 0107- 少年A @ 47.87 C 1602.F 580.442.390.80.388 0198 2012-06-25T00:32:21:978Z 0114- 0130- get em up to rave @ 64.11 B 1558.F 580.398.170.21.99 0106 1215 0890 036.51 2012-06-25T00:38:07:913Z 00.70+ 0017+ 17+17-8-5+6+ 0003- 2012-05-08T01:32:33:772Z reflection into eden @ 52.10 C 1687.F 606.475.59.37.238 0046 2012-06-25T00:54:21:866Z 0087- 0108- shooting moon @ 27.33 E 1321.F 459.403.710.405.1074 0014 2012-06-25T00:57:27:306Z 0140- 0016- shes an esper @ 33.80 D 1409.F 504.401.538.229.885 0190 2084 1559 033.67 2012-06-25T01:02:15:970Z 00.22+ 0009+ 40+71-32-16+152+ 0072- 2012-05-25T00:03:36:068Z 貴方の居る場所 @ 68.54 A 1231.F 488.255.111.7.79 0120 0898 0788 013.95 2012-06-25T01:07:51:346Z 03.46+ 0062+ 53+44-3-2-5+ 0104- 2012-05-16T00:41:24:612Z 鉄甲乙女 under steel @ 60.13 B 1720.F 657.406.246.24.199 0104 2012-06-25T01:12:47:058Z 0198- 0017-
