EL-SLUGged, Too

Lost another EL-SLUG Saturday, this time due to a little wind and a lot of fellow handler incompetence. Too bad, too - Garret and Jon Miller showed up, and all they got to see was some inability to work against a zone. Ugh - not exactly the recruiting job we want to be doing. On the plus side, at one point Cole tossed an upwind huck down the right side - I was playing his dump at the time, but I saw that the throw was going to hang up badly. I sprinted 50 yards downfield and got a good read on the disc which was floating out of bounds. Ran to the front corner, laid out out of bounds, caught it and flipped it back over my head before I hit the ground ... straight to EBay for the score. GREATEST! In a reasonably competitive game, no less. That's the fifth (or so, I can't really remember for sure) in-game completed Greatest of my life (To Mike K at Rice down the right sideline at Stanford; to Brett R in New Orleans; to Kate (?) in a BUDA game - lay out the back of the endzone push back, complete with parents and Aaron in attendance, and the one to Paul last spring) plus there have been a bunch in pickup and such. Good times, and a very important skill to work on when you're goofing around on the quad. So at least the scrimmages weren't a total disaster (he said, out five bucks, AGAIN). :)

Good weekend - Sunday disc was fun, too (Minnesota Tom showed up and wowed us; he might be moving to Phoenix this summer, which would be awesome), and was probably the last bit of Ultimate for the year (excluding maybe a pickup game on the 30th; regardless, my toes / feet / ankles / knees / hip / back / shoulder / elbow / wrist / hand / finger can use the rest) (and YES, that is a catalog of currently dinged-to-injured body parts, LOVE IT). Afterwards, Beck and I caught the inept Favre over steak dinners. We ate local for the weekend, going to Asi Es La Vida up the street (under the pretense that it was under new management; it's not, and the food, while still good, is stupid pricey) Saturday night and getting takeout at Slice of Sicily on Friday night. Had an early Christmas present-fest with a package from my parents on Friday night; great gifts! Thanks! Finally caught the "Epitaph" episode of Dollhouse which I've been meaning to do for quite some time now - it's a cool, futuristic outcomes of the Dollhouse storyline, and it gives a nice foreboding flavor punctuation mark on the whole series. Otherwise, just hanging with the S/W/F (and yes, I just realized that) and getting some reading done for school. We're Rachacha-bound later this week, and other than the multi-hour flights, are looking forward to it greatly, dreaming of an un-sandy Christmas as we are.

So, time to read / work / drink some coffee for today. Don't try to stop me.
