9/20: $12,200 (FJ: :))

I'm off to a 2-0 start in FJ for the first time ever! Just barely, though... I had a lucky guess yesterday, and pulled out cricket at the very last second just now.

9/19 $15,400 :( [$22,200 - not a very good start to the season, but of course I was a little rusty after seven weeks off]
9/20 $21,800 :D [$25,600 - slowly getting back into the groove; I hope to not drop below $20K the rest of the week]
9/21 $19,800 :cry: [$25,800 - for some reason I just could not stay focused tonight and made way too many silly mistakes]
9/22 $12,000 :( [$22,200 - pathetic, really... I was a combined -$400 on the bottom two rows of both rounds :oops: ]
9/23 $22,000 :( [$26,600 - two miraculous runs in the Film and Paint cats. save me from an otherwise disastrous DJ]

Sep. 19-23: $18,200

For 9/20, an ugly $15,200.
For 9/21, a passable $24,200.

My brain seemed foggy today.

An absolutely horrible game followed by a pretty nice one. Perfection in FJ is gone, though... it couldn't last forever. :P

I never really had the chance to do anything with the categories they gave me... college football was the only real shot I had.

9/26 $17,400 :?: [$24,000 - in an effort to reduce negs I clammed on way too many clues that I actually knew]
9/27 $21,000 :( [$29,200 - how has it come to the point that that's actually a good score? :cry:]
9/28 $25,800 :) [$30,200 - I nearly swept four DJ categories on road to my best score of this young season!]
9/29 $20,400 :) [$27,600 - I just need to match tonight's score tomorrow to reach my goal of a $21K average]

9/28: $9,200 (FJ: :))
9/29: $2,600 (FJ: :))

Without a doubt, the clues have been much tougher so far this season. I've already had two completely dreadful scores in just nine games! I'm better than that.

I seem to be streaky in FJ so far this season... I haven't had back-to-back :) or :( yet.

9/30: $8,200 (FJ: :()

Yes, the clues have been tougher this season... but in this game, that wasn't my problem. So far in these first two weeks, I've had a really tough time with staying clam/not staying clam. It's just not worked out.

A new week, a new month... and it's been pretty good to me so far. This is how I'd love to be playing all the time.
