Photo Week – Part 1 (The Apartment)

So finally, I got some photos developed.  Here are just the inside shots from my apartment.  It’s only four pictures, but really I got almost everything except the kitchen (visible in the background), the bathroom (visible in the background), the washer/dryer, and the water heater.  I figured those could be saved so there’s SOME surprise when you all come to visit me.

And now, my living room:  a view from the front door

And my bedroom, as seen from the hallway:

And finally, my bedroom from the Bed O’ Wonder (read: I wonder why I’m in this bed)

Tomorrow, more pics of my backyard and front yard.  Stay tuned.  (What a great movie that was.  John Ritter’s a mouse.)

Rutgers Ice Bowl

Holy crap!  A disc golf post!  Having not thrown a single hole of golf since September 30, I headed down to Rutgers (at 6 AM!) to do a tournament with the Devils.  It’s an interesting format – the first round is normal tournament play.  In the second round, they pair the highest score with the lowest score, and the second highest and the second lowest, and you play a round of doubles.

I brought three discs with me – a CFR wraith, a Z Buzzz, and a hard JK Aviar.  I ended up not using the putter (I don’t like it), and borrowed a SSS Wizard from Doot.  I’ve never touched a Wizard in my life.  The first round was solid – totally good.  I made three killer putts from outside 40′ (and bought a wizard at lunch because of that).  My drives were erratic but still salvageable.  I ended up with a 52, putting me in fourth place, behind B.O.B.’s 49, and Mattie LaCourte’s 51.  And another score.

After a chilly lunchtime break (it was about 36 today at its highest), I went back out with Rutgers’ local Ania.  She did very well, and helped us solidify another 52.  We were actually shooting better than that, but on the third to last hole we took a circle 5.  (We opted not to pay $5 for a couple of mulligans, a decision I later rued).  But I made another two killer putts, and am convinced I like the SSS Wizard.  With my 104, the good news was that I tied for second (IN THE CASH!)  The bad news is that I tied three other guys.  I did manage to pocket $21, and we raised a crapton for charity.

Thanks Doot and the Devils.  You’d make a great ska band.
