Upon reaching 100 views, blogpost has decided to reward me generously by creating a disfunctional "Stats" tab so I can't see where all my lovely viewers are coming from.
:( sad face.
Make me happier by linking my blog to your friends so I'll have more incentive to post great stuff on here :)
In other news, I can quite literally hear my racket suffocating inside my girli-fied badminton bag, begging me to go play. Today is Thursday, meaning I'm scheduled (by myself) to play at night. But thanks to my COM201 paper due tomorrow, that's not going to happen.
Neither did I play last Saturday...I was studying for my COM201 midterm.
WHY DOES COM201 HATE BADMINTON SO MUUUCHH?!??!??111?!?11!//?/
Neglected. Bags have feelings too.
My laptop that has photoshop got a virus this past weekend. I'm really computer stupid, so I tried to system restore, will killed my saved file for the BCD tournament. On the bright side, I had e-mailed it to Clinton shortly before, so it's safe and sound--but no blogpost on it! YOU WILL JUST HAVE TO SIGN UP AND WAIT FOR THE TOURNAMENT :) (I swear I did not plan this.)
******************
So last year I made a weekend trip up to Canada for the C1 Boxing Day Tournament. It was amazing-- waking up, exiting your hotel and seeing all your friends getting breakfast together in the same lobby. That was a fantastic vacation.
Besides the fact that the car broke down.
....
but that's a story for another day. I'll provide illustrations for that one.
Anyways, the same friends and I decided that we'd make it a yearly thing and make a trip up to Canada, so we've been planning it for ages until...
CLEAR ONE CHANGED IT TO THE NEW YEARS TOURNEY.
NOOOOOoooOooOoooOOOOOO...
There goes my awesome trip plan :( Anyways. Heres the tourney information:
ClearOne Badminton
New Year's Tournament
When?: January 1, 2, &3, 2011
Where?: ClearOne (Browngate)
Unit #100
4351 No.3 Road,
V6X 2C3 Richmond
B.C.
Canada
Tournament Link: Sign Up Here
Perks?: They're sponsored by Yonex, and they'll be using Yonex Nylon birds. I hear last year they made people supply their own birds--really? I don't remember, but I hope that was a rumor...ungh. Anyways, tournament also comes with a Free Tshirt. yeaahh!*
*I believe two years ago, they had really nice dry fit long sleeve shirts. I remember last year many WA players went up mostly for the shirt, and were really disappointed. So, fair warning, don't go for the shirt.
The annual ClearOne tourney is considered a more competitive tournament...at least for the players in WA. Good if you're up for a little competition and a wide range of new people to play with. Give it a shot if you find local tournaments too boring for your taste.
And of course, for those of you who prefer not to be competitive, or don't really know what you are...Badmintology is always a good alternative...although sign up for their tournament next weekend is over, you could always drop by and take a look and sign up next time. Who knows, I might poke my head in for a bit...
-----------------------------------
ALSO....DON'T FORGET TO SIGN UP FOR THE BCD+A.
Two Canadians have already signed up! Don't be sluggish, Washington! This year should be a fun tournament! (And I see a Korea in there, too...whathuh?!?!!!!)
