The first step is admitting you have a problem.

Friendster is addicting. I just want to add more and more people as friends, so I can look more and more profiles. (Including a few people who I know are in there, but I can’t look at yet, but don’t know well enough anymore to consider “friends”.)

But anyway. Yesterday was a relaxing “watch a bunch of my favorite movies” day, even though I should have been straightening and cleaning the house for the party next weekend. I got to a lot of it today, though. The pies are mostly eaten (thankfully), and not as much by me as they could have been.

Operation “cut the plastic no-slip mat with a hacksaw and stick it to the bottom of the Cobalt Flux pad” was a horrible failure. I got to play with tools, yes, but it made the pad rock and tilt too much for it to be stable, even if it didn’t slide. I’ve been getting back into the groove of DDR, I’m back to being able to handle 8-foot songs, and most of the 9-foot songs as well (except the ones that really try my endurance). Looking at the 10-footers, though, it seems impossible that I’d ever be able to do them without first losing 50 pounds… I just can’t move and twist and turn that way while I’m moving this much weight around…. And I still have yet to AAA a song (any song, even the simple ones). I’ve gotten one Great and the rest all Perfects many times now… very frustrating.
