I think today's theme was really weak, and most of the corners were really bad.

I can do Thursdays with lots of effort and Fri/Sat I like to do with a friend who's also not so good; together we're pretty good. Sundays are easy, just long

i only do them in pen but its the same thing since i just write next to the clues when i think i have an idea instead of just writing it in softly.

Today had a good theme but the grid was overly cramped. The author did. good job using a bunch of nonstandard letters but I think that's what led to the grid design.

Today's puzzle was fun but pretty easy for a Saturday. Some favorite clues: "Letters with a view" IMO, "Part of a bar code?" age limit, and "Integral course of study, briefly?" calc. The board composition was nice unlike the past two days.

Sunday's was better than a usual sunday, IMO, though some of the clues were bad and a lot of the puns fell flat. I also did tomorrow's which is probably the worst puzzle I've done in my entire life.
