Well, over the week Mikey, another fellow from CCF that I've turned into a PIU freestyler, came over to my house to practice a routine for Koul. We got the routine down, and got to test it yesterday. I was at the mall from 10 AM onwards, which was insane because I didn't realize how little sleep I got. Later that day I was so annoyingly sleepy, as an effect of the pain killers I'm taking, plus fatigue, plus the fact that I was already lacking sleep.

Anyway, Mikey and I did our routine for Koul repeatedly, trying to get it perfectly. We didn't quite get it "perfectly" but it's pretty good. After the expected failures on our first few attempts, I'd say we got up to a satisfactory performance.

The other song I was practicing, though, which was a solo routine for the song Solitary, I ended up failing miserably. For some reason, I was unable to anticipate the speed of the steps... When I practiced at home, I took it segment by segment (like you should), but I never got to do a dry run or whatnot. I have decided that I'm not ready for Solitary yet, and I need more practice, and maybe a redo of some parts to make it more efficient. I already pretty much memorized the first part, but memorization needs familiarization to make it work in this case, so I need to do my routine for the first part over and over. The "first part" I'm talking about is roughly the first 1/3 of the song or so, possibly going up to the halfway point. Much of the latter part of the song is really really easy, so much that I already memorized it just from watching freestyle videos, but I haven't exactly come up with a routine for it yet. I guess because it's easy, I can concentrate on other parts first.

Arms feeling better (sometimes?), wrists no longer an issue, new smaller bruises on knees, living off pain killers... Oh and I overshot an elbow stand. What an interesting experience.

Anyway that's all for now.
