little things

i might post about my time in new york in detail at some point. overall, a lot of fun. disappointing how few people came out at night. also disappointing how everyone kept "going to class" and "doing work." i really hated it when i called someone and they asked, will you be around tomorrow? oh ok, i'll hang out with you then." cuz it never works out that way.

in short -
good things: m2m breakfast, saji's early bird, m2m breakfast, the place across from the chinatown ice cream factory (over rice menu!), playing the first practice in socks (and beating dan chirlin), seeing pooja on the east side, seeing sai before i left, hanging out with dave every day in some lounge or another watching him play poker, and have i left anything out? lion's head didn't let me down.

very very good thing: dogears.net for helping me sell 3 textbooks for $140 total. awesome.

people have stopped blogging, for the most part. must be school, or something. sad. by the way, go to amanda's blog and look at the sculpture that her sister just finished. great googily moogily. wow wow wow. it's amazing!

i was happy with my frisbee. it deteriorated surprisingly less than i thought it would in the months since i last exercised it. it being "the frisbee," whatever that is. when i was tossing, my throws were spot on. and during drills and stuff. i made a bad throw to tao when i called a city play, but it was that tough one up the sideline. eh. i didn't feel too slow either, although everyone is probably out of shape. man was i sore the next day (and still slightly now). but i was playing in socks the whole time, as i didn't bring running shoes to new york. and i beat dan chirlin for a hucking drill. the second time we went up though, neither of us got it. and the third, it was way in front of us, and i gave up, while he put on an extra burst to catch it. then stoops eliminated me by grabbing the disc just as my fingers touched the rim.

i was throwing with dan for a little bit and he asked why i didn't play club. i explained that i didn't think i was a club caliber player, which he said was nonsense. i then explained how the aspect of "ultimate" (i call it frisbee on purpose) that i hate the most (really, the only one that i do hate) is the competitiveness at higher levels (i.e. club). he seemed to understand. oh well. if i get into a law school next year i'll have one year left.
