My non-BLD event of the week: 4x4x4:1:47.96 [OP], 1:34.47 [P], 1:23.94 [O], 1:30.34, 1:17.38 [P] = 1:29.58
Comment: Quite good considering it's been weeks since I did a 4x4x4 speedsolve. The last solve was especially great - when pairing edges, I saw every single pair while still solving the previous one - no pauses - it's an amazing feeling.
The BLD events: 2x2x2 BLD: 31.40, 31.41, 31.78 = 31.40
Comment: How's that for consistency? All of them were pretty bad, actually. 3x3x3 BLD: 2:26.56, DNF [2:31.91], DNF [1:24.26] = 2:26.56
Comment: Just awful. Second one off by 3 edges. Third one was completely scrambled; I solved it a second time (including double-checking the memo, time was 1:01.xx) and got it right. It looks like I picked up the cube wrong when I started. 4x4x4 BLD: 7:47.89 [3:39], 7:54.67 [4:05], 6:28.11 [3:19] = 6:28.11
Comment: The last one was really nice - I went as fast as I could the whole time. 5x5x5 BLD: DNF [18:16.45, 9:40], 13:49.34 [7:11], 15:40.15 [7:16] = 13:49.34
Comment: It's weird - lately I feel like I'm not any good at 5x5x5 BLD, but every week I seem to still get one good solve. The first one was off by 6 X centers due to misexecution. 3x3x3 Multiple Blindfolded:2/3 = 1 point, 10:14.68 [5:10]
Comment: First one off by 7 edges, 2 corners, a U2 and a D2; I have no idea what I did wrong - I thought I had it right. Memo recall was really slow.
And non-BLD events done BLD: 2x2x2: 40.83, 27.72, 22.58, 34.47, 50.44 = 34.34 3x3x3: 2:07.68, 2:57.43, 1:34.94, 1:21.31, 1:39.34 = 1:47.32
Comment: On the second one, I completely forgot one image but eventually worked it out through logic. Magic:11.27, 11.66, 12.38, 14.43, 12.90 = 12.31
Comment: OHITABLD, of course. Master Magic: 4.66, 3.88, 6.09, 4.15, 4.21 = 4.34 Clock: 2:46.47 [0:38], DNF [2:31.25, 0:30], 2:20.84 [0:28], DNF [3:55.11, 0:27], 1:59.59 [0:28] = DNF
Comment: Second one was off by just one turn one notch - I couldn't tell if I had turned it after a lockup. Fourth one was pretty scrambled - I got confused in the middle. PyraMinx: 1:25.97, 1:01.90, 46.84, 1:32.38, 1:11.94 = 1:13.27 Square-1: 7:05.44 [3:06], 5:27.58 [3:01], 4:51.69 [2:58], 5:00.18 [2:54], DNF [4:57.90, 3:13] = 5:51.07
Comment: Last one was one move from square, off by 3 corners. Cases RT, QV, NR, FA, TT.
Wow, almost all sub-minute! A big deal for me My best result yet and first sub-minute weekly comp. If nothing else, my consistency is getting a little better (especially since last week was 1:20 :rolleyes. My F2L is still disturbingly slow, but I know I don't practice enough.

comment: For the first solve I did a post mortem, and I had only made one mistake. For one of the commutators I did BAB'A'B
I almost never make that mistake. I think it's because I got in the habit for so long of counting the moves when I perform a commutator. Since most of them are 8 moves, they have a rhythm to them. Now, even though I usually don't actually count the moves, I still hear the rhythm as I carry out the moves; it would be unnatural to do more than 8 moves - it would feel wrong. (I still do setup moves, though, which is different - and not as efficient. Since I don't count the setup moves, they are separate for me from the 8 count on the commutator itself.) Perhaps you should try counting?

Broke a 2nd string with last solve. Now I have to get some strings and learn how to restring.

Couldn't find a way to leave 3 corners with the blocks I had, and I wasn't in the mood for putting in effort with NISS, so I got lucky by trying out a few silly insertions of the last pair (if you look at yellow F2L)
All of them were pretty bad, actually.
