The thought of Eric snapping his fingers in a z formation made me smile.
I love you all and I think there is enough of Big Mama Adrienne to go around. Emily, you know you will always be my #1 woman.
Ken told me that sessions don’t count unless I blog about it so here is goes:
I played for like 45 minutes in the gym before work. Nothing terribly interesting happened. Then I did a bit of leg weight lifting. I am trying to slim down my thighs a bit. No, I don't think I am fat. I am knock-kneed so my knees touch which means my thighs rub together. It is annoying and sometimes get in the way when doing certain tricks. The thought is that if they slim down a bit, they won't rub so much and it won't be as big a deal.
Tonight I played for like an hour and half. Took Emily’s advice and work on flipside stuff first. A lot of flip pixie, which actually isn’t too bad. I spent most of the time trying to hit tricks that are probably to hard for me, but I footed them all so that was pretty sweet. They were: torque, butterfly swirl, and something I don’t know what it is. It is like a stepping mirage. When I looked for it on Hackrifice, the mirage was done with the opposite leg that does the set, but I did it with them same leg that did the set (so set with my right foot, miraged with my right leg). I also did a squeeze for the first time.
East Coasts was a good time fun. Here are my highlights:
~ My father and I getting 5th place in doubles net. Instead of playing the consolation match, Dan the Man and I Indian leg wrestled for the title. He was no match for my thighs of steel.
~ Hitting what I believe was my longest tiltless run ever. I don’t really like to count, but I think it was between 25-30 contacts.
~Ken’s 3rd dropless routine. Enough said
~ Mike Toolan’s routine. The music was really beautiful and I thought his routine was very graceful and appropriate for the music.
~ Ledo’s pizza, Dual, girl talk with Rivka and Wii bowling at Vince’s house.
~ Errol’s “Bacon Treeâ€
Could I make a suggestion? For a certain amount of time (a session, a week, whatever you want) try always starting links like that with your flips. They're the tricks that need the most practice, and they'll get way more attention if you always start with them. Plus, after you hit your flip, the strong one is the easy one so you can relax knowing that you'll hit it.
