For anyone that doesnt, you should read Kankeri Japan's blog.

I have played pretty steadily for the past week. It happened to be Golden Week, which is a week where 3 holidays fall on three consecutive days, so I didnt work for a week.

The most that I can remember hitting is

Ripwalk x 14
gyro clip x 5

I have been working on datw's and barrages. Once I get them, they will be a lot of fun midstring.

I took some video of me juggling on my phone, so if possible I will upload it, in a little while. :)

EDIT
Here is a link to a picture of me in a local magazine. Unfortunately, I am an idiot, and the picture is either really big, or too small.

Well, this sucks too, but oh well. Maybe you can help me out. It is a link to me juggling, nothing special, but not only is the video sideways, you cant open it in Media player. Im not sure what I should do. I bet if I took video with a video camera, not a cell phone, it might have turned out better... :oops:
If you know what to do, please let me know.

LOL. I love these two technology posts. I read "Unfortunately, I am an idiot, and the picture is either really big, or too small," opened up the link and broke out laughing. As for the "video," I can get the first frame but, like you said, it won't play. Still, it's a decent pic. :wink:

EDIT: I just right-clicked the image and chose to save it to disk, then opened it and it was resized for viewing pleasure.

I think its been about a week since I blogged. I applied for the internet last week, so hopefully soon enough, I will be able to get online from my house. They said it would take about 3 months to get it hooked up, which is OUTRAGEOUS if you ask me, but what am I gonna do.
I have been playing consistantly, although I have been taking days off too. I have really wanted to shred as of lately, so I think it is possible that I will be playing more.
I bought Final Fantasy XI this past weekend. I think I might regret it, but oh well. I also bought a 29 in TV to play it on :)
I get really addicted to games like that, but at the same time, I would rather shred than play, so I wont have to worry about not shredding.

Recently I have been working on getting everything 'GF' smooth. That is REALLY hard to do because, well, there is only ONE GF :D

EDIT*
I forgot that I also hit

blur > paradon > blur > paradon > run

I have also been working on
drifters
torque
legovers
barrages
terrages

Recently,

Vortex bs
spinning ducking osis bs (i think it was bs)
spinning ducking butterfly
lots of drifters

time to go teach...

I had another good sesh yesterday.
I got off work early and I thought 'Great! I have an extra hour and a half to shre...' and then I woke up at 8 oclock and thought 'damnit! I fell asleep' :( So as it turns out, it ended being just about a 2 hour session.

I worked a lot on datws and barrages. They are getting a little better. I got into the habit of rolling the bag off my toe for pixie sets, thus making terrages, toe barrages, etc. increasingly difficult. I will be really happy once I get these doubles down...


Torques are getting better too.

Yesterday:

flip mobius (I tried for like 20 minutes until I got it)
I have to go into downtown Osaka today, so I think I might not be kicking today :( Maybe Ill play FF XI :)

I am going to shred today. I got invited to perform with Zero again, sometime next month :!:
It turns out I am not only good friends with the second in charge, but also the president :D He wants me to put on a show for some college related event. It should be fun :D

Hi.

I shredded yesterday, and it was FUN! My spins are getting better, and so are my gyro sets, but they are nowhere near where I want them.
I also worked on barrages a little more. The same thing with swirls. I really want to get swirls down. I will soon enough.

I might shred today, but I might not. My leg kind of hurts. Plus I am tired :(

Well, yet another Friday.

I think Japan is in the rainy season. (tsuyu in Japanese). It rains everyday for about a month, and then it abruptly turns to summer. Due to all of the rain, the humidity at that time is stupid. I sweat like that guy on The Critic. :roll:

I ended up playing yesterday, which was good and bad. I was tired from lack of sleep the previous day, and usually when that happens, I dont hit a lot of stuff and get mad :cry: I thought about that going into the sesh, and it helped me to not get mad during the sesh.

The first hour I spent only one swirls. I still dont have them down. my weak side clipper is weak...
I think I am developing a nice swirling motion though, bs. I am still rushing the delay though, but I will fix that with time. I just have to keep throwing them into strings and they will get better.

I also worked

barrages
torques (couldnt really hit them well)
spins
gyro same osis
datws
pixie same mirage

I might not play today because I am going to meet up with a friend. However, if he has to work until late at night, I will shred until he gets off :wink:

I will try more swirls today...

Hey there.

It has been about a week, so I figured I should post already.
I have been playing a lot, I think. I took yesterday off so that I can play better today. I have been craving shred recently. That flame got rekindled, or something. Recently, I dont remember what I have hit, but a lot more fours, and a lot less butterflies and p mirages.


footed flip blurriest

lots of ducking butterflies and spins, but my flip still needs work.
I want to practice more gyro moves too.

pandora bsos
paralax bsos
gyro butterfly bsos
spinning butterfly bsos (probably)
Copernicus

I am going to start a challenge me thing now.

I guess I didnt start a challenge thing after all :oops:

Yesterday was fun, but I got tired fairly soon after I started, so I quit after 2 hours, which, I guess is good enough.

I notice that shredding is a lot more fun when I try new things.

I hit
gyro butter bs
ddd bsos (i dont know if Id all it a string though, more like ddd > butter > toe > clipper > ddd) :wink:
lots of ripwalks
lots of p illusions
zooming clip bs
zooming osis bs
spinning osis > spinning osis
far swirl bs

I might have posted some of this already, but oh well.
