Pastebin July 13th, 2017

===Speedrunning Plans===

The 1545% race is this weekend (July 14-16th). I will be running Banjo-Tooie 100% scheduled for the following:
	-1:30 p.m. CDT
	-2:30 p.m. EDT
	-11:30 a.m. PDT
	-6:30 p.m. GMT (for the rest of the world to base off of)

I said in my last pastebin that the race would be the last time I played Tooie this year, regardless if I got a PB beforehand or not. After having several runs being near 2 minutes ahead entering WitchyWorld 2, I've decided I want to at LEAST get a sub 4:30 before I give up the category. However, I'm only giving myself a time limit of until August 6th to do so. After that, I'll just drop it and move on to DKC2. I see no reason that I shouldn't PB before that time, however.

===Streaming Plans===

After the race is done, I plan on streaming this Monday (July 17th). After that, it's the usual wait and see approach. I'll at least do a run every Sunday & Monday before August 6th until I get the PB I want in Tooie 100%. If I do meet my goal, then I'm going to take a break and re-learn DKC2 again, with that most likely being off stream.

I do want to do more casual playing of games like Super Mario World and Super Metroid at some point, but I find streaming stuff like that to be non-entertaining for me. Mainly because I have other things I could be doing in the meantime. If I do stream the casual stuff, expect it on days where I can't fully commit to speedrunning, like Tuesday-Thursday. Fridays & Saturdays are still pretty much off limits for my streaming due to how late I work.

I'll be taking a vacation the week of August 7th-13th, but I'm unsure of if I will stream those days. It just depends on things I will explain below.

===Personal Plans===

As I just pointed out, I have a vacation coming up from August 7th-13th, which I took in order to watch The International 2017. I really wanted to go to SGDQ, but sadly I couldn't confirm that I could have that week off until registration was already closed (I would've been able to have that week off).

In addition to still doing some writing (which has slowed down a bunch since my last pastebin), I have been working on a secret project that I've told nobody else about. I feel like if I do tell someone, I become unmotivated (like when I said in my last pastebin how I was writing a lot, then it suddenly died. I have a good jinx about stuff like that.) I'll share it at some point, but for now I'm going to keep it close to the vest. And no, it's not a new speedgame. I would just tell you guys if I planned on learning anything new.

Thanks for reading. Have a good week, and I hope you enjoy the 1545% race this weekend!
