Played with Kemmer today for about 3 n a half hours. Doesn't make up not playing all week but it's something I guess. Last couple weeks have been pretty busy schoolwise and it's looking like it will stay that way for a bit (whole semester? taking 5 classes + senior thesis prep). Lots of writing and reading. Anyways, shred twas good. I'm at the point now where I can basically hit any variation (minus symph) of Legover, Mirage, or Pickup midstring no problem. At Matt's recommendation, going to start expanding into different sets and tricks. Drifter, DLO, Osis, Whirl, Stepping, Ducking etc. Hopefully I'll have enough time to play a few times this week.
Clipper > SS Pickup > SS Legover > SS Butterfly > Paradox Mirage rpt op x1
Butterfly > Paradox Mirage rpt op x2
a couple DLOs starting from right leg set (dunno what is considered to be the start of the trick)
a few nice strings of 15+ contacts
Was a little bummed out footbag-wise the past couple weeks, guess I got some shit to work on now so that's cool. Excited to really get into new stuff while drilling basics at the same time. Illusions and Orbits/ATW still need work.
In other news, my roommate and I like to make pictures of ridiculous shit that we made in MS Paint and stick them on our door. Here's our latest work:
Unfortunately cannot take credit for the reptilian aspect of the photo, we just found it on the Internet and put the headlines and pyramid onto it.
Some of our other work includes Nicolas Cage adapting various roles. For example,
Jesus Cage
Avatar Nicolas
Nicolas Cage as a Soviet propaganda figure
It is interesting to note that our pictures have not yet been ripped down by drunk belligerent college students. This fact is interesting because we have whiteboards outside all our rooms that some people (like my roommate) draw pictures and people on for amusement. These pictures are usually wiped away or otherwise defaced within a week. Meanwhile, all of our pictures have been intact since the start of the semester a few weeks ago. I really don't know what to make of this. Either everyone who has seen them has enjoyed them enough to not rip them down, or they are potentially creeped out/ frightened enough to not fuck with the maker of these unusual pictures. Not sure which theory is more plausible.
Will update here with more periodically as I make more if anyone likes them. I must return now to my mound of essay writing. Toodles.
-Daniel C. NY, USA. "Sacrifice a goat to our Lord and Savior Evan Gatesman".
will frequently be in a string where at the end I just say to Kemdawg "Yep forgot the whole breathing thing". Guess I'll just have to force myself to do it more. Not sure whether or not I'll be going to NYJ, we'll see.
Brain is fucking fried right now, cant even type correctly. Will do a better post when something actualy cool happens/ I dont hate shortcut keys and all they represent. Bye.
