mostly DDR babble
Oct. 24th, 2002 01:19 amToday, work. Not much to say. Dan hardcoded it so if I pick Dilbert as my theme, I don't get any characters except Tina the Technical Writer. To that I replied, "Hey Dan, I have some perl I wrote for a Mason component for you to code review, ok?"
Anyway, I went to IZ tonight... was a bit later than I wanted to be because I talked to Hemant for a while about CMU alumni get-togethers and stuff, and then ran out for some pad thai so I could eat before DDRing, and then went home, then drove out, etc. Got there around 7:30 I guess.
There weren't many people. Unfortunately, the GF/DM machines were on 100 credits per play, and KBM wasn't taking IZ cards at all. Doh. Still, it wasn't hard to get turns on the DDR MAX2 machines. Lessee... interesting stuff. Well, Shiguma gave me a CD of PPP stuff. It's only got a few songs, and three videos, but they're cool. It was nice of him to make it for me. Hmm.. Torgo Jeremy was there again, and I talked to him for a while... I was screwed up in line so I made him play a set with me. We did (all on Heavy) Ever Snow, Secret Rendezvous, and Absolute. It was funny because he picked SR because we'd been discussing BHH, and he said it's a good song for learning those weird off-beat sequences. Well, he was right. I didn't do so well at it. :) He picked Absolute for fun as the last song, and I slowed down to 1x... and missed 2 arrows. Dammit! But I beat him at PA (I've got Absolute at like 70% perfect now, which I know isn't great, but..). Anyway, so he ran off for a minute or two and there was no line at the machine so I put in another credit and thought I'd try the Naoki Standard Oni just for the heck of failing DR. And what happened? I GOT ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO BURNIN' THE FLOOR! Seriously! I had a big-ass combo and everything! It was really neat. I was so surprised... after getting through B4U I was just like "Oh fuck, Burnin' the Floor?" and failed halfway through. No stamina for Deanna. But lots of combo. :) Since when can I FC Dynamite Rave Standard? Wowie. I also got through Nearly 130 to halfway through Higher as my last set of the night. It ruled. I got an extra stage on Drummania and actually decided to try to play it, but failed. It was really fun anyway. Lessee, I did a little PPP and some shadowing, too. I think I've got most of Easy Busy and Sexy Sexy Sexy down now, and since Shiguma gave me the Mikado video I should learn that one soon too.
Went to Krispy Kreme with Farren and Joe again. Played Can't Stop, and won... silly dice. Ate lots of donuts. Brought back some for Eli. Yay for the donuts!
Came home. The DSL hates me. I think I might have a decent idea for an FS routine for this Saturday's tournament. Oh god... I am SO doomed.
