Got some practice for about half an hour or forty minutes with juggling. Caught six flashes, close-to-caught many more. Arms tired, proud of myself -- irritated, too, though. Four of those flashes were caught in pairs, so I'd do it right twice in a row and then screw up.
I definitely have the feeling that when I do it once I should be able to do it again. Right? If I /just/ got it...
Accuracy on throwing is a big problem, mostly because I freak out on trying to catch the second or third ball. I find that if I think 'up' 'up' 'up' instead of 'over' or 'to the next hand' it tends to go where I want it instead of way sideways or forward. I have these images of me getting the three-ball juggle and sitting there chanting, up, up, up, up...
I tried some of it standing up. Noticed that if I juggle with a sofa in front of me I can pick up the balls more easily when I throw them forward but that felt like cheating, so I moved away.
I'm so going to do this. Break now, though, arms starting to feel mildly sugar-low shaky and I still need to run today.
