A year and a half has passed since the previous entry. That was when I accomplished a major goal, solving the last remaining regular Bricks level (which happened to be Octo Vortex, in which I subsequently gained the record and then lost it again to an amazing score by Eckhard&Fabrice).

The next major goal was becoming a Super Genius in Bricks VI, thereby completing my full set of Super Genius titles in regular Bricks. I had to hurry with this one since if the normal three-year cycle is kept up (which of course is far from certain) Bricks VII will be here in a year, quite possibly killing any chance to get a full set of Super Genius titles.

I've worked on Bricks VI quite a lot these past couple of days, gaining 132 moves in 27 hours (mostly from my own level, Lemmings). In fact, Lemmings was the level I gained the decisive improvement from (11 moves at once, from 39989 to 40000 precisely). This is the second consecutive time Lemmings is the level helping me to a goal, since a few months ago it was my last red regular Bricks level to be turned blue. (Waiting for somebody to turn one of my blue levels red again...)
