Dancing Games with Arrows->

Day 11

steppingto200:

Day 11 was spent catching up with friends and relaxing.  I hung out with some people I hadn’t seen in a while, so that was nice.  Had a few drinks, laughed at stupid things, and I got to watch a cheap bedframe snap under the weight of four people!  Good times.

On the dance game front, I’m still compiling lists of 9s, 10s, and 11s to form into workout courses for me to be miserable about.  I’ll be making a handful of courses, probably 4-5 songs at a time, to play to test myself.  Some will be strictly 9s, strictly 10s, and strictly 11s, while some while gradually build up to a peak of difficulty.

And so, tonight I’ll play again; it seems that my workout schedule happens to fall on an “Every Other Day” basis lately, which is neat.  I should probably try to sneak more days into it though.  We’ll see how it pans out.

No noticeable weight loss to speak of yet, by the way.  I might want to start incorporating light jogging/walking and crunches/pushups into my routine.  Weight lifting can wait for now I think.

Anyway, anybody have any recommendations for stepfiles to look into/use for my workout courses?

Kyoko from Madoka Magica cosplay by Teca

In the series Kyoko plays a lot of Dance Dance Revolution and Teca had the brilliant idea to get some photos playing the game they had set up at Matsuri. The triangle accents outside, lovingly called the Glass Doritos, also matched well with some of the design elements in the city where Madoka takes place.

Okay let’s try this.. AGAIN.

Feel into a pretty bad phase of just sitting around every day and feeling sorry for myself.  Putting it off day after day after day, instead working on music [which I actually did need to do] and playing video games.  Being unemployed hasn’t helped at all either.   It’s like I don’t have the energy to do anything but waste away.  Not anymore.

I’ve gained far more weight than what I’m alright with since my surgery, and I’m tired of looking in the mirror and seeing something I don’t want to be.  There’s nothing wrong with being this weight, I’ve just been hovering around it since high school and I’m tired of seeing it.

Thankfully, the video game I wrote the soundtrack for finished up its kickstarter with almost $1,800 the other day and that did amazing things for my self esteem.  The weather being nice lately has also lifted my mood.  I’m ready to get back into the grind.

Today was my second day in a row of playing dance games.  Tomorrow, I’ll play again.  I plan on playing every single day, with a little leeway here and there, but I don’t want to break it this time.  I’m going to get back in shape, and I’m going to start passing 12s again, and I’m going to slim down this year.

I guarantee it.

Damn right son!!

We believe in you!
