My First ITG 22: Passed! 11/19/21

I passed my first 22 on 11/19/21! The chart: Speed Disco Vol. 1-5 (Expert) — 1104 unbroken measures of 210 bpm stream for 21 minutes.

I got another 21 the day prior too: eat it up, boi! FP 218

Dance Dance Revolution Boardwalk Arcade Toys

These tiny arcade machine toys have been popping up everywhere lately. I've come across them while shopping online as early as several months ago and started seeing quite a few friends post about getting their hands on them as of a week or so ago. Target now has them for sale for $20 each. Though none of the Vegas stores have them stocked at the moment, and it seems they're either out of stock or not (yet?) sold at many Target locations nationwide, they can be ordered online through the Target website, which offers free shipping on orders over $35: Tiny Arcade - Dance Dance Revolution at Target

They're so adorable and I love them forever. 😭 I need like 100 of them. Sean surprised me the other day with three of them he'd ordered from Target, so I just need to get my hands on like 97 more for life to be complete. Haha

ITG: I Passed Last Trip and Supermanmanman...!

I did the stamina player rite-of-passage thing and passed Last Trip [21] yesterday. Late to the party, maybe, but gotta celebrate it nonetheless! I definitely wasn't expecting to get through it first try (pretty sure I've never attempted it before), two days after doing Supermanmanman...[20] (1 hour of unbroken 175bpm stream), and with how stiff I was feeling from all the running the day prior and recently, but 🥳. Vids of it and other semi-recent ITG stuff:

We Made Grandma's "Egg Rolls"

My culinary skills still leave quite a bit to be desired, but Sean and I followed the instructions my grandma left behind when she passed and made egg rolls (technically lumpia, I think, but she always called them egg rolls) for the first time without her. 😢 They probably don't look like much, but they're delicious and will always remind me of her. Thank you so much to my cousin Bina for sharing the recipe. ☺ I really am pretty useless in the kitchen on my own, so it meant a lot. ❤

Lara Victory at the BBC House

^Just a cute pic from our first, but hopefully not last, time meeting the Argentinan PIU beast Lara Victory the other day! I didn't think I was up to having company or socializing, but I couldn't miss the chance to meet this beautiful soul in person, and it turns out you don't always know how much you need friends til they show up. PIU (which Sean just got working again 🙌), ITG, a mean pilates DVD Jennifer Hertberg brought over to do with us, and munching a ton of food at home while watching piguy and other epically entertaining YouTube vids and Twitch streams were just the icing on the cake of this chill time with dance game friends. ❤
