orc dx.

karlie and i ate dinner at oklahoma joe's yesterday and i just couldn't resist the freshly stocked disc selection. after much deliberation i decided on the Orc DX. i went out and played 18 with it at swope park this afternoon (in the stupid stupid wind), and i'm pleased to report that its a pretty great disc. i didn't get a perfect feel for it because of the wind, but i have a sense that the Orker and i will be great friends.

here's my spike hyzer drive on hole 12:

took it on my phone, so it's not the best photo, but i was pleased with the tombstone outcome. and what a lovely shade of blue. i call it "it's a boy!" blue.

and just for the record, here are the discs i'd like to own next (in order):
skeeter dx.
r-pro dart.
champion groove.
pro wraith.
star TL.

i need to revolutionize my bag. it's pretty battered and warped. i know there are maybe 3 people who frequent my blog that give a rip about what i've got in my disc golf bag. but you know what? i'm excited again. and i'm addicted again.

pro d.

so spring break happened. you might think that my lack of blogging over the last 11 days was because i went somewhere far away and desolate where i had no internet access and was constantly preoccupied with other things. this would be false. i have very little to report regarding my break from school.

i did purchase a pro destroyer though. seriously heavy artillery. just holding it gives me a rush of adrenaline. it's like i have a nolan ryan fastball harnessed in a 171 gram disc. or a happy gilmore drive. or a john buck big fly. or a doug flutie drop kick. or all of them combined. if pinky and the brain ever succeeded in taking over the world - this is what it would feel like.

boom goes the dyno.

also, do you ever feel like a day is an important day but you can't figure out why? like maybe it's someone's birthday. or it was the deadline for something. or you have a bill to pay and that's the last day to get it in. today is one of those days for me. march 23rd*. what is it?! it's killing me.

and i did not forget to pay the water bill.

* - alas. it's march 24th. thanks jenna.
