Campus Comments

A couple of campus observations: 1) a lot of young women on skateboards around campus, often big ol' longboards. I know there is a subset of chick boarders, but they didn't seem to be that prevalent in Seattle. A couple of different vibes going on too, mostly quasi-surf and quasi-punk.

2) Frisbee season started a long while ago, but one pair on the quad calls my mind to it. Campus frisbee sessions always frighten me, especially the long-distance ones, because I always think I'm going to get whacked as I'm just innocently walking across the quad (or Red Square when I was at UW). This never happens, either because of the skill of the frisbee-ers or sheer luck on my part, or some combination. I have no frisbee skills, probably more accurately negative frisbee skills. When I attempt to launch, it ends up going behind me. Is this fact a detriment to my cultivation of the California vibe? I'm not a big volley-baller either, although I did enjoy a nice casual round of badminton a couple of weeks ago.
