Well... for the past three months nothing. But now that NYJ has lit the fire in my belly hopefully more.

Two sessions today, maybe one more later. First worked BOPs making sure I have them dialed in again. Second session worked swirls, whirls, and double legovers.

I really really want to make a video even though I've played footbag maybe 3 times in the past 3 months and really kinda suck. But it wouldn't just be footbag it would be a lot of weird jugglingish stuff kind of inspired by Jorden's last video. Also maybe I'll show off my devil stick abilities... with my feet... oh you'll see modified, you'll see...

NYJ seemed pretty cool from what I saw during my brief time there. Hitting TATW in competition was just splendid. There were so many great players there, it was wild.

Reid and I have been playing Scrabble a bunch since he got back from NYJ. I pretty much rock at the game...

Just saw TJ and Dave (the guys from the Sonic commercials) do a long form improv set at the ImprovOlympic. They're pretty awesome. My friend Eric Roth and I want to start working on some 2-man improv stuff too. I think we can do it with some training and dedication.

4am... I'm off to grab some sleep...

Session with eric today. Barfly, and spins.

Reid · Post by **Reid** » 04 Jan 2008 12:01

Solo session today. Barflys again, and pwhirl.

Lavers $20-60 dollars, footbag $25-35,

Reading peoples responses to NYJ priceless. Somethings in this world money can't buy, For everything else get a job so you don't go into credit card debt.

$20 Lavers?

Oh, and Eric, I got that Royal Road book. I'm watching youtube vid first to be awed by card magic before I learn how it's done.

Reid · Post by **Reid** » 07 Jan 2008 11:46

It was nice hanging out with you too. I have not hit atomic merlin yet, but I have hit pixie merlin.

It was great to hang out with Reid more this past NYJ but next time I want a large heaping order of Eric, not just on the side.

Youy know, it was funnier and made more sense when it popped up in my head... but it would be a shame to edit it to something less awkward now.

ewww Zeke...

Just had a shred with Reid... OUTSIDE! So much better to shred outside than inside.

I hit... iunno... stuff. I had a couple of decently lengthed runs. I worked mostly on spinning. Lots of different spinning moves on both sides. I also hit ducking and diving mirages. The diving ones felt reeeal nice. Also pdx whirl>pdx drifter>repeat and then some. And inspinning clipper BSOS a couple times midrun. I wanna school that.

Reid hit... iunno... other stuff. A lot of torques. Stepping ducking clipper X3 I believe.

Peace Modifizzle... I said it

Reid · Post by **Reid** » 07 Jan 2008 15:21

good shreD, played online scrabble and constructed "quivered" on the triples.

Reid · Post by **Reid** » 10 Jan 2008 13:29

Session today. Had one really good run with a little bit of everything (Duciks, Pwhirl, drifter, stepping, barfly, stepping ducking.) Worked stepping ducking today. Steppping ducking clipper X3 again. I was able to do X2 80% of the time, but for some reason a third one is difficult. Its a somewhat high energy move and maybe i just get drained from it to quickly. Barflys feel better, still difficult to do what I want out of them except for pwhirl.

edit , oh yeah I'm back in Champaign

Reid · Post by **Reid** » 14 Jan 2008 21:15

solo session today worked drifter, and swirl, and barflys a bit, as well as two ball juggling.
