Pfft, I sent the next three paragraphs out almost a week ago, and thought j=
ust nobody had anything to say.=C2=A0 Turns out I replied to myself, and it=
 never went to the list at all.=C2=A0 ^_^;;=C2=A0=C2=A0 So here are those t=
hree paragraphs again, followed by the new stuff I was about to send.
=3D=3D=3D Old stuff from last week =3D=3D=3D



Picked up the JP event SR on Monday, and the EN event SR on Tuesday, so tha=
t part is done.=C2=A0 Noticed that T2 for JP was shockingly low last night =
-- about 15,000 event points.=C2=A0 Will have to keep an eye on that, as it=
 might be worth pursuing, since I can fairly reliably S/S the event song on=
 Hard... have done it three times in a row before.=C2=A0 Probably not going=
 to try T2 on EN, since Umi is wildly popular here and they're expecting a =
ludicrous cutoff.
Went ahead and did two 10+1 Printemps pulls over the weekend.=C2=A0 First o=
ne was minimum, got the earliest Cool Hanayo SR.=C2=A0 Cute facial expressi=
on, amusing voice when her power goes off.=C2=A0 Second one was 3 SRs, incl=
uding Chinese Dress Honoka.=C2=A0 So that was a win.=C2=A0 Weird distributi=
on on that one, got 1 Hanayo, 2 Kotoris, and 8 Honokas.=C2=A0 As a Honoka f=
an, I'm not complaining.

Just before bed last night, I needed about 40 xp to level (EN server, Score=
 Match), but had 0 LP.=C2=A0 Didn't want to wait 90 minutes to play a Hard =
song, with work in the morning, so went ahead and went to bed.=C2=A0 Got up=
 this morning, played a Normal to get as close to levelling as possible, th=
en picked Expert Score Match, figuring I could get the event points for fai=
ling, then play a Hard song to level.=C2=A0 Instead of being mean, it gave =
me Natsuiro Egao De 1, 2, Jump, which claimed to be a 10 but felt like a 7-=
8 for the first 2/3 of the song and an unfamiliar 9 at the end.=C2=A0 Ended=
 up not only surviving the song, but winning the Score Match!=C2=A0 That wa=
s a shocker, as I've only passed one Expert song before and don't even reme=
mber what it was.=C2=A0 This was with my standard Smile team, not a healing=
/timing team.
=3D=3D=3D New stuff from just now =3D=3D=3D
Looks like Smile Hanayo on JP this time around.=C2=A0 I was already plannin=
g to T2 on EN, since it is Honoka.=C2=A0 Now I might have to T2 on both ser=
vers, as Honoka and Hanayo are my 1st and 2nd favorites.=C2=A0 Honestly, si=
nce Honoka is wildly unpopular on EN, I might even try doing T1... am curre=
ntly planning to spend one loveca every day on EN to cut down on the amount=
 of last minute play necessary, and will see how things shape up later in t=
he event before deciding between T2 and T1 there.=C2=A0 How popular is Hana=
yo on JP?=C2=A0 Will it be ridiculous to try and T2 her in a Score Match?
Am over Rank 80 on JP now, so it won't be long before the XP requirements d=
ouble.=C2=A0 That will suck... especially for events, since levelling durin=
g events is very helpful.
This weekend is a 3-day weekend in the US, so that will give me plenty of t=
ime for working on these events.
