So I've had two sessions in two days

I rock.

This one was a two hour session. I warmed up, had a go at all the "fun unique comps" that I could remember - I can't believe I forgot the clipper run. Although clipper uniques are hard!

It was a bit embarrassing that my toe shuffle record was only one less than my two dex record (that was all shuffle) but I guess that's more about what I tried for my 2 dex record so I'm positive I could get a lot higher than my toe shuffle record.

After that I drilled the same stuff as last week for a while and then stopped.

Getting my hair cut in an hour.

Oh yeah I was stoked with my unique symp run:

Whirlygig>beta blur>beta smear>symp mirage>witchdoctor>symp whirl.

In hindsight I realise I could easily beat the score I got by doing lots of easier moves - and by hitting ps whirl>ps whirl or something similar at the end but I was more aiming for difficulty than for adds.

Whirlygig > Beta Blur is SOO huge. My unique symp record is 8 !

Symp Mirage > ss > Symp Mirage > ss > Flail > ss > Flail > ss

Wooooooo, that is, if you consider all those unique.

Actually I find whirlygig>beta blur about the easiest link of whirlygig>stepping whatever - the footwork feels a lot easier than say whirlygig>blur. Thanks though!

Oh yeah and dark choccolate coated coffee beans are the bomb!

Just got a phone call and I'm doing a footbag demo next weekend! Friday and Saturday - 3 demos per day for some career expo. Apparantly they give out free bags to kids or something. Anyway sounds sweet! I can't wait.

The woman was like "I hear you're really good too"

- My fame is spreading

edit: Oh yeah Todie from Neighbours is going to be there!!

I never watch neighbours but he's an Australian legend anyway

I'll have to bring a camera and get my photo taken with him!

OH OH OH!!! I KNOW THIS ONE!! Damn it, I can't remember the name... Beleiving Mr. Beelzy or something?

It's about a child who summons the devil / a demon and his father does not beleive him. When they are at the dinner table, he sends his son to his room and when he goes to spank him gets killed by the devil / demon!

What do I win?

So I had a short session today. Three days in a row! But my legs were feeling really stiff and since I'm definitly playing tomorrow as well I decided to take things really easy and spent the whole 45 minute session drilling osis. I did consecutive osis', spinning out of osis and then finished up with probably 20 minutes of osis>ss clipper repeat. I'm not sure what my record was - probably about a minute without dropping. I think that's a really good drill for drilling osis since it gave me a lot of room to save bad osis' and keep going and it meant I was hitting a lot of osis in each run. I felt like they were definitly getting a lot better and more consistant. I think with osis all I need to do is make a point of hitting lots and lots of them and they'll get way more consistant. I think when I hit a good one - it's good enough technique so it's just a matter of hitting more good ones.

After playing ate a raw egg (swallowed it whole with out blending it or anything - took a lot of courage but was easy in the end

) and ate a tuna, cucumber and tomato sauce sandwhich.

Didn't play Frolf.

Had a cool session today down at the markest. Played with Jorden, which was lots of fun and also had my band of fans (little) kids around as well

.

Just played very chilled - didn't hit anything too hard - kept my board shorts on the whole time.

Oh yeah something funny happened. I was at a gypsy food store. They had big pictures up of all their meals - of which there were 4 or 5. None of them contained egg or bacon. An American couple came up, debated what they wanted for 5 minutes then asked "Do you have egg and bacon rolls?" - Like wtf - why would they have egg and bacon rolls - it's a fucking Gypsy food store - not a McDonalds.

Oh also I have thought of the best rountine ever for my semi finals routine at Aus champs. It will be the funniest routine ever! (I think I will be the only person who finds it funny too

) - Come to Australia and you too can see it.

i DEFINITELY thought that said "after playing with a raw egg" i tried that one time...got some nice toe stalls...but that was all i did at the time, since it was like a year ago. i should try it again sometime.

ok then...

So last night was a fucking amazing party. It was an old friends dad's 60th birthday party. Had an awesome time, lots of beer

. Oh yeah, Kim Booth (who is a politician with the Greens) was there - as were lots of old friends form my life. Kim is very funny. At about midnight we headed back to another friends house and I did some DJing for a while and then we played video games all night

Also went for a little er. trip which was fun. Went and saw the sunrise - which was amazing. Perfectly clear day - view of the whole city and bay, fog coming across the hills. I thought it was about the best sunrise I've seen (the swirling colours might have added to it

). Then we went for a drive. Went to church too (seemed like a good idea at the time) although didn't stay long. None of us had been to church before (we'd been in a church - just not to church) but we didn't stay for the service. My god - the fishes - they really freaked me out

(There were fishes hanging up all around the church). Went back home and slept the entire day!

Very fun night - doing it again in a few days

Some photos!

This is me saying yes to footbag!

This is me again, looking a little spaced out and needing a shave but with my new haircut (photo taken about an hour ago)

This is my "modified" face - it's what I look like while reading modified

This is me and my brother. He plays footbag too but hardly ever. Apparantly we look alike although I've never noticed it myself. His name is Kester Takayama.

This is Kester having just seen an American.

Dylan Fry saying "Don't take my picture yet..."

"Ok I'm ready now..."

This is Fez from Wales. Dylan and I travelled with him for a while. He thinks he would be better looking with a dimple.

This is Linda Emmerton. She is a member of this forum and is starting to play footbag although not enough!

This is Niels the Riddler from Holland. Dylan and I travelled with him too. He's got killer hair and can pick up any girl over 40

This is Kimika. I think she got a mention in my blog at some stage. She's cool and comes and watches me play down at the market sometimes. Well actually she works there and comes and says hello when she's leaving but it's close enough

Dylan, Linda, Kimika and I discuss the nature of paradox and it's implications for footbag.

Dylan thinks he's a sexy beast.

These are my Lavers. They are my third pair and are starting to get pretty choice for shredding in...

I live in a house full of nerds

This is my current beer bottle collection. The beers are in three lines: Tasmanian at the back, rest of Australia in the middle and imports at the front.

Is that a Corona third from the left, front row? I just added that one to my collection a few days ago. Word Jeremy, those pics are cool.

EDIT: We should definitely get together and test beers out whenever we meet up, that would be AWESOME.

Jamo · Post by **Jamo** » 27 Jun 2005 03:26

Ah yes it is, well spotted. Corona and lime are ZE BOMB.

King Monkey · Post by **King Monkey** » 27 Jun 2005 07:12

Corona is fairly crap watery beer IMO

Jamo · Post by **Jamo** » 27 Jun 2005 07:19

But one of the most refreshing out there.

Jeremy · Post by **Jeremy** » 27 Jun 2005 07:24

Hmm, I like Corona. It's not a strong taste - but I don't think that's ever a bad thing. Infact most of the beer I do dislike is because the flavour is too strong and not subtle at all. Beer should interesting - it should take you a while to understand what the beer is about and to understand all the different aspects to it - you shouldn't know everything about the beer in the first mouthfull. I should add though that I don't like all the beers in the photo - Many of them I will never drink again...

My favourite beers from the photo are:

Boags Premium (Back row, second from the left)
Dark Isle Triple Malt (Back row, first on the right)
Little Creatures Pale Ale (Second row, first on the right)
Asahi Super Dry (Front row, first on the left)
Tiger Gold Medal Lagar (Front row, second on left)

There are a few others I'd like to try again and a number I wouldn't.
