Day 232 :: Sunday August 19 :: Victoria, BC

Make a cloud, or make something inspired by clouds. 

Slept in this morning, then rushed off to watch CUC's mixed and women's division finals. It was really fun, but a bit bittersweet as this is the official end of the tournament, and time to say goodbye to friends from other teams that i don't get to see that often :( Dinner was delicious fish and chips at Fisherman's Wharf... and next thing you know, it was time to pack as i'm leaving Victoria tomorrow. There was a lot of reminiscing/daydreaming happening during packing, so with my head in the clouds, i quickly made this cloud using our white bedspread.

Day 231 :: Saturday August 18 :: Victoria, BC

Create a new superhero. What are his/her/its powers? What does the costume look like? Bonus: Dress up as that character!

My teammate Josh Tai has earned the funny yet unfortunate nickname 'Angry Asian' at some point over the course of the season, and we were musing earlier that it would make a good superhero name. He then gave me permission to use/amend this 'i'm rolling my calves so they don't hurt so much anymore' photo to turn him into today's superhero! Thanks Josh!

For the curious: BFC lost by 2 points in the placement bracket final, meaning we take home the coveted 10th place. With Nationals in the books for us, we hit the party and had a blast dancing up a storm while mingling with friends from other teams. A great ending to a fun tournament.

Day 230 :: Friday August 17 :: Victoria, BC

Make a container, such as a bowl, bottle, cup or box. What would It be used for? It doesn't have to be functional. Bonus: Document it in use, functional or not.

Yup, i'm still at Nationals... cheering for my team is taking all my free time, so this isn't very creative – a frisbee is always the container of choice during a tourney. Of course, it is what I'm using today as a field food container!

For the curious: BFC went 1-2 today, meaning we play in the 9-16 placement bracket tomorrow. Not the result we wanted, but we're still going to give it our all!

Day 229 :: Thursday August 16 :: Victoria, BC

Work with or be inspired by a bicycle or parts from one.

Two major things happen during an ultimate tournament: playing and eating. Since it's hard to execute something non-ultimate related while playing, I made this little bicycle out of traditional field food: bagels and bananas. Delicious!

For the curious: BFC went 1-2 today, winning our first game easily; losing a hotly contested second game by one point; and a second loss in our last game of the day. We will lick our wounds tonight and bring it tomorrow! 

Day 228 :: Wednesday August 15 :: AC163 – somewhere over Canada!

Transform a room into a new environment – temporarily or permanently!

And we're off to Victoria, BC for the Canadian Ultimate Championships! This said, what better room to transform/make myself at home in than the airplane bathroom? :) A big thanks to Brent for providing the toiletries, as mine were in my checked luggage.

Day 227 :: Tuesday August 14 :: Ottawa

Be balanced. Work with the weights of things to create something that's perfectly balanced on a small point. Extra credit: Document it falling apart when it is pushed or otherwise made to be off-balance.

Leaving for Nationals bright and early tomorrow, meaning tonight i have to pack! It was a fun break to balance some ultimate essentials on a field marker cone – a cleat on the left, field food/energy chews/gels on the right, all contained within a frisbee of course :)

Day 226 :: Monday August 13 :: Ottawa

52 pickup. Use a deck of cards to make something today, or make a unique playing card, or really challenge yourself and make an entirely original deck of cards.

As we inch closer and closer to Wednesday, aka DEPARTURE-DATE-FOR-NATIONALS!!!, it's only natural that i have ultimate on the brain :P Therefore, i thought it would be fun to imagine what my personal sports card would look like!
