This week is really starting to look up, after a great game of ultimate (“Dooooooooom”) and a wonderful care package from Ruth. The latter contained this season’s version of the Williams Rape and Sexual Assault Network’s “Ask” t-shirt (in brown, which is turning out to be this season’s color, as well) and a Montana [...]
Bloomington continues to be great. I’ve more or less settled into a more or less regular routine of getting up more or less early, getting a bagel and coffee and reading all morning, although I’ve also migrated from Starbucks to a local place called Soma, trading smarmy jazz and other Starbucks-y musical stylings for [...]
So I know I haven’t written in a while, terribly sorry and all that. But I’m still here! And I’m having a great summer! I’ve been working awfully hard the last few weeks, trying to fit a particularly difficult model so that we can finish up this paper. We’ve cooked up some ideas for experiments [...]
I am back on campus, after hopping on the bus on Sunday after Mara’s graduation brunch (she’s coming to Williams! yay Bangor!), riding all day, and arriving in Pittsfield in the evening, where Jared, Erin and Noe picked me up, since Jared (a regular on the Bangor<–>Williams bus) warned me that the two hour wait [...]
About a week ago I had another transcendent, remembering-why-I-love-it moment. For all intents and purposes, as of the end of the semester I’d stopped playing Ultimate for almost a year. Sure, I went to the BUFO vs. squash scrimmage a month ago, and played a few points in one of the games at [...]
Spring has sprung, finally. Temperatures have been in the mid-seventies for the last few days, and the sun has been out the entire time. I got my hands on a frisbee for the first time in months, in all likelihood literally the longest I’ve ever gone with out touching a frisbee since learning [...]
(in no particular order:)
Seeing my sister for the first time since she went away to college!
Seeing my family for the first time in almost three months
woodstoves, dogs, and baked goods
getting hurt again (grrrrr)
running with Jue and Tony and finding out that I’m sort of in okay shape
playing frisbee at broad-effin-way and finding out that my [...]
It’s 11:45 and I am now more or less settled in, having greeted mom, Jeff, Bob, and Zoe (enthusiastically and at great length), played Jeff’s (awesome) new clarinet, had a cup of tea, marvelled at the wonderful assortment of plants growing in the sunny south bay window behind the kitchen sink (including a christmas cactus [...]
That’s the result of a (awesome) study that was reported in the Times:
Dr. Norden analyzed the Ultimate Players Association “power ratings” of private national universities over a decade (the ratings assess strength based on past performance), and he discovered a startling pattern. “All the schools with above-average ultimate teams also have above-average graduation rates,” says [...]
I went to my first meeting of my “fuel cell” tonight (really silly name for WUFO preseason training groups), and I can already feel every individual muscle fiber in my abdomen curling into the fetal position thanks to Young Hahn’s Patented Core Killing Circuit: It Really Does Kill. I’m sure other parts of my [...]
