So Ends The Reign Of Pangaea


That's right--we beat Pangaea at the seven-circuit labyrinth. 1:25.25. Team Wellington never ceases to amaze.

A World I'd Rather Not Live In

On the day after the Summer Solstice, June 22, Cineball and I were going to meet at Grace Cathedral and do a personal labyrinth together. Much to our chagrin, however, Cineball had serious MUNI trouble (MUNI is the San Francisco bus) and thus didn't arrive until after I had to leave. However, each of us DID do a personal labyrinth. I made a video of me explaining it, but my computer seems to have decided to reject my video camera as of late, so I haven't been able to get it to work. I'll try to get it to work but I'll probably just end up writing it all out here in the meantime. Check back soon for a full writeup--I've run out of time for blogging.

Competition

I don't know if you've seen it yet, but over at http://www.thelostsport.co.nz/ the Wellington team videotaped their most recent run... and of course their resident runner, Atalanta, has beaten me by a good 1.35 seconds, setting the record at somewhere around 14.09 seconds. I now officially challenge the Wellington runner Atalanta to a friendly competition that will last until the closing ceremony of the Olympics. May the best... runner win.

I said this several posts ago. Of course I didn't blog it at the time, but only a few days later someone in London beat both of us, setting the Gaea world record to 13.59 seconds. Am I going to ever beat that?

Upon learning about the Multiversal Competition Ladder, located on the SECRET SITE at http://164.109.150.213/, we also have the times of the other worlds--and I'm happy to say that we're annihilating the competition in the 3-circuit labyrinth. Unfortunately, we're losing depressingly at the 7-circuit, since the highest time (other than ours) is 1:50... and we're still up at 2:15. We somehow need to get it under 1:30. Looks like I know what I'm shooting for now. Seven-circuit labyrinths, here I come.

James Mission, Parto Tri

Yes, I know I finished this a long time ago, but whatever. Here's the third part of the James Mission, wherin James tells us about TheO.





In the end the mission was a resounding success. We got the Codex page, we got the maps of TheO cities, and we got James on our side. I'm totally psyched about the final Omph strength--we've only got 6 knots and our strength is already 86.3. At this rate, we'll be able to send everyone, even James, Kai, Renata, Larissa, Kentaro... everyone. This is going to be one summer Theo will NEVER forget.

lern 2 blog

And if there was ever any doubt why I'm not a blogger, it's gone now. Hah, I really need to remember to keep up with the blogging. I KNOW I'll steal a trick from a friend of mine. Someone needs to poke me in a week so I post again. I'll see if I can get posts up on Thursdays, because otherwise I'll put it off forever. Which isn't a good thing.

So I suppose now I'll blast my way through like three or four overdue posts. Here goes nothing.

I'm back... sorry for the long absence!

It's been hard to find time to help Ariadne when I just moved twice and finished finals week :P Hopefully now I can contribute again. I had a really busy and stressful finals week and moved from college to home and then from home to the beach where I am working for the summer. And now I am working full time as part of the waitstaff here at CBCC.

Expect the first episode of the Agonothetai696 podcast soon-ish. I don't know how much time it will take to get it up but Dav's first recording went well and so I just have to get it ready for the web (maybe converting it from wav to mp3) and posted online.
