So sad. We played like troopers in the overcast/rainy weather last night, but an Ultimate Frisbee victory was not to be had.
We lost by 1 point in each of the games that we played ... they were neck and neck, so close, which makes it even more heartbreaking.
On the plus, we seemed to have some really nice plays, a few people even pulled out some new tricks (Joey, Chad with their quick pass backs), and we were pretty strong on our defensive plays, when we made them, we pulled them off well.
Sigh.
There's always next week.
Tonight, I'm wondering if we'll be playing beach volleyball (which is outside in this Calgary rain). Yikes.

We Won, We Won, We Won!
Our first Ultimate Frisbee win. It was last night ... it was spectacular ... and in Chad's words ... it was ... ultimate.
In both of the games that we played last night, I played in a marathon round that really had me running my caboose off. Each half of a game lasts about 20 min
utes (so in a night, we play 4 halves - two games) ... and last night, I played two rounds that SEEMED like they were almost an entire half (in reality, they were probably only about 12 minutes or so, but holy crikey Batman).
But ... in our second game, we won 4-3 ... it was a great, close game. Sure makes a difference to be done the seeding rounds, and to be playing against other teams that are a lot closer in experience and skill level (i.e. at the bottom ... the newbies ... the unskilled ... inexperienced).
Sigh. I really love Ultimate Frisbee ... just wish I was a little better at throwing/catching the friggin disc. Must practice that up ... perhaps this weekend.

WOW and My Sore and Tired Arms
I've mentioned on this blog before that I play WOW (I know, it is a little computer nerdy ... but hey ... it is SOOOOOOOO fun, and I am a bit of a computer nerd). Well, this morning, my WOW world and my law school world collided in a spicy and delicious way.
In my inbox this morning was the Addendum (newsletter from the CBA). Among other interesting articles was this one:
Contracts in the MMO world by Chris Bennett and Andreas Lober
HOW FREAKIN' AWESOME WAS THIS READ?
If I go back to Saskatchewan, one of the requirements for the law degree is that a minor paper and a major paper have to be completed. This article opened my eyes to the fact that my papers could be on a creative and interesting topics (on a personal level). Now ... I'm on the lookout for ideas that I could write my papers on!!!
As for the sore arms ... played beach volleyball last night, and I loved it. My arms are so sore, since I'm such a rookie that I only hit it correctly 1/8 times or so, but it was so much fun. Very party-ish kind of atmosphere, and all the teams that were playing had great attitudes, highly recommend this one!
Played ultimate Frisbee on Wednesday ... pretty exciting. The game was a LOT more running than I was expecting (more than soccer even, in my opinion), so I'm excited about the prospect at upping my endurance. I'm really excited about the team that we've put together, too. I think we'll have a lot of fun over the next few months ... but as newbies, I'm afraid that we may have some problems with winning games (we were trounced ... 0-8 in both of our games on Wednesday). Oh well, I think if we practice our Frisbee tossing a bit then we'll at least be able to put some points on the board next time.
