Vancouver 2010

So the Canadian men's hockey team just lost to the Americans. Boo. It was a good game, though. How does a team get outshot 45 to 23 and still win? Well done, Ryan Miller, well done.

Also, for some reason all my sketched figures are really, really lanky. This is not a healthy body image kids! Only 2D people can be that thin.

EDIT: This is probably not news to anyone in Canada, but just for the record, Canada beat the USA 3-2 in overtime in the men's hockey final to win gold. Yayyyyyyy!

Disc Golf

It is a beautiful Saturday afternoon here in Waterloo, and I've just finished playing a round of disc golf with my sister and her boyfriend. We went to the Chicopee ski hill which, like a lot of other ski places, is used in the summer for mountain biking, hiking, and recreational throwing of plastic flying discs into baskets.

We played the 'easy' course (the hard one usually involves starting all the holes a few meters back), but still spent a significant amount of time searching through the forest for the discs we threw off-course. Especially the yellow ones. Attention disc makers: greenish-yellow disc + long grass = invisible. Still, it was a pretty good time and disc golf is definitely something that's worth trying.

For the record, I lost. I think my score was something like 110 or so, a little over double the record for the course.
