and the torpor comes in the niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

Is it a sign of ... well, I don't know what ... when your two major accomplishments the previous evening were

1. Moving the cat dish from the now closed-off kitchen to the warmer dining room, and placing them in a cardboard lid to hopefully keep Messy Eater No. 1 from spraying his kibble all over the place (when he takes too big a bite, as is his wont, he shakes his head from side to side and chews what's left in his mouth)

and

2. Finally getting 5 stars on all the Easy Mode GH2 career songs and, excitedly awaiting what nifty reward I'd unlock, earned... the right to buy an expensive guitar shaped like the US. When I actually played all the Easy Mode songs, I earned the right to buy an expensive guitar shaped like a fish. Gee, thanks.

I've graduated to Medium and have 5-starred the first tier of songs except for that goddamn Cheap Trick one which involves a few more meedly work than I've gotten down (my squeedlies are okay) and I've 3-starred about half the songs at least, and are now working to at least 4-starring those and getting extra cash before going on to the ones I know are going to kill my wrist.

Small Quibble #1: I'd like to at least see the looks of the purchasable characters or their outfits before I choose to purchase them, or else I'm out $1800 on makin someone look, uh, goofy. But to be able to hammer out the Sabbath encore as Lars Umlaut with the double-neck guitar while in full gargoyle gear was, I think worth that particular set of purchases. Oh, and the Trogdor, Freezepop and Honest Bob tracks were worth the purchase, too. But it's gonna be a while before Hippopotamosh makes any more real big money.

where you're able to play it without consciously telling yourself BLUE! QUICK LIFT UP THOSE TWO FINGERS FOR THE RED! NOW PUT ONE DOWN FOR YELLOW! QUICK, GRAB JUST THE GREEN!

I hit my zen yesterday, in the middle of passing, like, a dozen songs on hard. I no longer need to think about hitting each note individually, it's like typing out words. I am ridiculously proud of myself for finally getting hard. i was stuck on woman for days, and i finally just went and started quickplaying the songs after it, and after i had beat 8 out of the first 9 songs, i went back, and woosh! did it! now i have beaten 21. :-) but then i watch my friends on expert and just feel SO LAME.

YES! It's exactly like typing. Once you know what you're doing and how quickly, you handle shit that comes at you all random. There's a few end songs which do random R Y G runs with a B every now and then and I NAIL them.

Then there's a Y-G chord that I miss. WOOP
