Despite any/all efforts to screw up my sleeping schedule prior to the sun starting to go down today, they've all failed, and instead of having a usual day in which I might actually sleep a lot during the day and manage being up all night, I have an UNUSUAL day for all the wrong reasons, and am actually awake ALL DAY!
Seriously, this is frustrating. Many many many weekend days, I simply take long naps during the day, which in turn keeps me up late into the evening. Hell, this happens on weekday... days... too! Even on weekend days in which I get a large amount of sleep through the night, I usually go back to sleep during the day.
I got a fair amount of sleep last night, somewhere in the vicinity of 8 hours, and I've had a very full day so far, the only problem is that I still have to wait 11 more hours for what I'm staying up for...
This same thing happened in Arizona. I'd go lay down to sleep some time after noon, usually 1 or 2, and I would just lay there. TV on, TV off, Music on, Music off, on my back, on my sides, etc. etc. etc. If I did fall asleep, it usually only ever happened after the sun was down. Meaning, 7, 8, or 9 o'clock depending on time of year. And then I had to get up and go work for 10 hours...
Sometimes I just didn't sleep at all, those nights were painful.
SASUKE2009 ~春~ (better known to many of us as SASUKE22) airs this morning at 5AM for those of us in the Mountain (Daylight!) Time Zone.
And just now I managed to grab this from My TimeAndDate.com Counter:
It is 0 days, 11 hours, 00 minutes and 00 seconds until Monday, March 30, 2009 at 8:00:00 PM (Tokyo time)
Only 11 hours to go, and here's hoping I don't fall asleep and miss some of the show. I think that means I should be setting alarms for 4AM and 4:45AM and what not now, while I'm still sanely awake to do so.
Oh the things I do for Japanese TV shows...

Translation: In about 12-15 hours, I'm going to be going on Wikipedia to find out how well Makoto Nagano did. :P
All-Stars all out in the first stage??? Ouch.
I'm curious as to how Kanno got DQ'ed on the Spider Flip. The wording makes it seem minor.
And I'm wondering about some of the new events: The Circle Ladder and the Slider Jump on the 1st stage and what is that new 4th stage life???
(Feel free to respond and then delete this so no one gets spoiled... the response and this will be in my inbox)
In 18, Nagano grabbed onto the obstacle frame, and not just the cliff hanger lip. Doing so gave him infinitely more power to complete the jump. He got himself off the cliffhanger and disqualified himself, he knew he cheated.
Today/tonight, for 22, Kanno was climbing up the spider flip, which is really just a long sturdy thick plank (which you have to shimmy across upside down, then pull yourself up). Instead of climbing up using the spider flip lip, the foothold as you've probably seen, he used the bar/rigging/structure in order to get himself up, which makes it seriously easy to get around the edge and hoist yourself up to the obstacle itself.
The obstacle itself is only one half of the challenge, getting there (ESPECIALLY in the third stage) is the other.
It's a rather bad example in my opinion, not many people actually failed it. Besides Olivia (XD) I honestly can't think of anyone else at the moment.
The slider jump is crazy. Think of the log drop. A long declined track, with drops. The stick slider, you hold onto the stick which is horizontal across two parallel bars, set it in motion, then have to use the momentum to reach the cargo net on the end (the net is very similar to the net in the jump hang, but at a different angle, but you can still go under it, or above/over it).
The slider jump took out TONS of people...
I don't know what you're talking about re: new 4th stage life, if you want to elaborate, you'll have to start a new thread since you can't reply to screened comments. Or just reply to my "Or you could just ask me" comment again.
