My PS2 Katamari Damacy addiction has been replaced by a Dance Dance Revolution addiction. I picked up the game and two dancepads recently, and what with my gymnastics and synchro background, I figured it would be a piece of cake to learn. All you’ve got to be able to do is count to music, right? Oh, how wrong I was.

I’m still working on mastering the beginner levels, and can *almost* pass a few of the intermediate ones, but others are just plain impossible! Obviously I’m going to have to spend lots more time playing. Luckily, I have a willing opponent: I never thought I’d see my boyfriend grooving to “Crazy in Love” in our living room, but apparently the DDR addiction is contagious!
