I just wanted to post that I made 166 on max combo for Afronova. I tripped up on one pattern, but I’m near-perfect for the basic mode. Yay me!

Well, I just got off the phone with work, to ask about the meeting and they said I could call in! Woo! Ain’t modern technology wonderful? Not to mention that I’m almost done downloading the rest of my mp3s from my work box, so that means I’ll have a heck of a lot more crap to play during live broadcasts. Of course now the question becomes, should I do live broadcasts at a lower rate so Smith doesn’t have to keep reconnecting, or should I keep it in stereo and just say “Fuck it?”

Fun was to be had last night in a rather interesting state. I played four and a half hours of Dance Dance Revolution yesterday, which is good, because this morning, to try and augment this regimen I’m attempting, I did twenty-five curls and ten push-ups. Hey, everyone’s got to start somewhere, right? This means that my arms are now feeling a little closer to how my legs are feeling. This morning, though, my legs didn’t scream as badly as they did yesterday. I guess they’re starting to get used to the abuse.

Yesterday was my good friend Thomas’ pre-birthday. He and a couple of his friends came down from the City to sort of celebrate by dancing the night away over at that nickel arcade I’ve been frequenting this week so far. Along with Jody and his little sister Teri, we literally danced until Teri finally said she was tired. Which is amazing, because she’s never said that to me. Shit, I think I even tired her out, because I was still raring to go. But she had school in the morning, and so did I… I still wanted to play, even though my calves were starting to mewl again. Right now, my favorite song from 4th mix plus is Young Forever. It’s a good song, and challenging. Though, I did really well with Afronova last night. I got a max combo of 102, which is a personal best. Teri just sails through it, as does Jody. They’re both far better than I am. I need to hook up with Todd again sometime this week to take him over to Hi-5 and have him dance with me.

After I got home last night, I immediately made preparations for a live broadcast. When you do something really fun, you tend to have to come down from an endorphin high, which is exactly what I was feeling. In fact, it was almost so exhilarating that I got a no fear attitude and went headlong into a decision that turned out rather well in the end. Though, I’m now curious to see what happens. It might be a hopeless curiosity, but I’m optimistic. The live broadcast was fun, as usual, but I think I exhausted myself and my audience, because near the end, I felt kind of lame and I knew that my high was over and it was time to come on down back to Earth and sleep.

But sleep I did not do, as I settled in for another nice long conversation with someone. It lasted until near dawn, and so this meant that I could kiss classes goodbye this morning. That’s really okay, as I’m doing extra homework in Japanese to play catch up and I can sleep a little bit more. Truth be told, I slept right through my alarm, but I woke up to B’z, which is why the lyrics ended up previous to this ‘actual’ post.

What do I need to get done today? I have a meeting at work that I either need to be there physically for or call in to. I need to go play another hour of DDR. I need to eat my one meal. I need to drink 8 glasses of water. After that, I’m pretty sure I’m going to be hitting the head a lot. Finish my extra assignments for Japanese, and then get to be early because tomorrow is UBER day.

Tomorrow, I must get up for my 7am, make my weekly special guest appearance. Go to History and Japanese, then go to work until Saturday morning at 4am. Sleep is the order of the night tonight, for sure.

Konya Tsuki no Mieru Oka ni (Tonight, On A Hill Where We Can See The Moon)

Tatoeba dou ni ka shite
Kimi no naka aa haitte itte
Sono me kara boku wo nozoitara
Ironna koto chotto wa wakaru ka mo

If I were somehow
Able to get inside you
And peek at myself from your eyes
I might be able to understand a few things

Ai sureba ai suru hodo kiri no naka mayoikonde

The more I love you, the more I get lost in the mist

Te wo tsunaidara itte miyou
Moeru you na tsuki no kagayaku oka ni
Mukae ni yuku kara soko ni ite yo
Kakera demo ii
Kimi no kimochi shiru made konya boku wa nenai yo

Let’s go there, holding hands
To a hill where the moon shines as if it’s burning
I’ll come back for you, so just wait there
I won’t sleep tonight
Until I understand how you feel, even if it’s just fragment

Itai koto kimochi ii koto
Sore wa minna hito sorezore de
Chotto shita chigai ni tsumazuite
Mata shitemo boku wa hade ni koronda

What hurts and what feels good
Is different from person to person
I stumble on a small difference
And again I’ve taken a huge fall

Kizu tsuite yatto wakaru sore demo ii osoku wa nai

In hurting you I finally understand, but it’s all right, it’s not too late

Te wo tsunaidara itte miyou
Ayashii hoshi no hisomu oka ni
Shigemi no oku e to susunde yukou
Kega shitemo ii
Hajikeru you na egao no mukougawa wo mitai yo

Let’s go there, holding hands
To a hill where the strange stars lie
Let’s go into the thicket
It doesn’t matter if we get hurt
I want to see the other side of that open smile

Te wo tsunaidara itte miyou
Manmaruri tsuki no kagayaku oka ni
Daremo ga minna terashidasarete
Kokoro no moyou ga sora ni utsutteru
Itsu demo sou yatte warattenaide
Kakera demo ii
Kimi no kimochi shiru made konya wa issho ni itai yo

Let’s go there, holding hands
To a hill where the full moon shines
It illuminates everyone
And the designs of our hearts are reflected in the sky
Don’t just laugh like always
I want to stay here with you tonight
Until I understand how you feel, even if it’s just fragment
