[12:24 AM EDT - New badminton school.]

I went to the new badminton location tonight. I had thought that the games started at eight, but apparently the session started at eight-thirty. Oh well, at least I was able to show up on time for once.

The gym is fairly small, but larger than the other one and able to fit three courts, albeit with little room to spare. It's also not within walking distance, so I was a little annoyed by that fact.

I played alright, and my knee wasn't complaining, so I'll take that result and run.

I came back to finish off the rest of "Last Exile". It's okay. Nothing fantastic, nothing overly bad. It was just another ten hours of my life spent absorbing photons through my eyes..

[9:33 AM EDT - Back to sore.]

I suddenly remembered this morning that I was supposed to meet up with DE early this week for patrol stuff. Argh! And I've filled up my schedule to boot!

Ah well, I'll figure out something. I haven't been doing a lot of exercise recently so last night's badminton is probably the cause of my morning soreness. Ouch.

[10:28 AM EDT - Self inflicted.]

Ouch. I had forgotten that my grip slipped while I was playing badminton last night. My racquet ended up flying through the air and struck my left hand. Now I've got this nice spot on my middle finger that's sore..

[11:54 AM EDT - I forgot my stuff.]

Dang. I knew I forgot something. There's a game of pickup ultimate near work, and I was going to participate right after work, but I forgot all my equipment at home! *shakes fist*

[Wednesday, September 15, 2004: Pickup ultimate patrol formula.]

I had agreed to go and play pick up ultimate with LY tonight with a bunch of his friends. Unfortunately, I had forgotten that I wanted to meet up with DE to work on a scheduling program early this week! He suggested either Monday or Tuesday, and since it was already Tuesday..

So I planned to go and visit DE after we finished with ultimate. It was getting dark fairly early these days, so I figured that I'd have plenty of time to go down to his place straight from the field.

Pickup was at six, and I set the meeting for eight. Unfortunately, I forgot my equipment at home, which meant that I needed to go home, pick up my stuff, and then backtrack to the field.

Getting home was no problem. Heading to the field was a mistake. I should've taken a different route, because I ended up in a huge traffic jam that took fifteen minutes for me to squeeze through (two intersections)! So I was fairly late, but they had not even started to play, so I didn't feel all that bad. I didn't have time to warm up though.

The game was okay. There were a fair number of amateurs, and so a lot of dropped discs, discs thrown away, poor decisions, etc. I can see how frustrating that could be in a real game. The annoying part was that most of the experienced players ended up on the same team. So the game was very lop sided. Ah well, I got some good throws in.

I left after we finished (we played until nightfall with a lit disc) and headed straight to DE's place. I got there just as he had started making dinner. Since I hadn't eaten yet, I stole some of his food. One of his friends came over for food and we watched the last part of the hockey game before hacking out the outline for our scheduler.

Two hours went by in a blink, but we got a lot of work done. The formulae we came up with make sense (more or less) so I felt that the meeting was productive.
