So I didn’t mention that I went to Oklahoma at the end of January. And I also didn’t mention that I bought a new bowling ball while I was up there. And while I can’t stand the lame-o names bowling balls are given, I ended up going with the intense inferno. So far it’s working alright for me, I can’t remember what I shot with it when I was bowling with jim, but last week I took it out a couple times with the following results:

Thursday: 137, 215, 157
Friday: 140, 182, 178, 154, 162, 192

Now while these scores aren’t really remarkable, they’re pretty decent considering that I rarely bowl. And that 215 ended with an open in the tenth when I left a fucking 2-7-8-10. I don’t know that I’ve ever had that leave before. I guess even more remarkable is that I didn’t have a single spare in that 215 game. That’s a lot of strikes for someone with form as bad as mine. Oh yeah, and there was no alcohol involved in this bowling.

Bowling was fun. I made kat go with me on Thursday, but on Friday, I had given myself the day off, so I just went down to the bowling alley and threw a few on my own. There are definitely some interesting characters in a bowling alley, and believe me there are more on a weekday afternoon. It felt good to just get out there and throw a few games in the middle of the afternoon; someday I’ll have to do it over lunch.

And I’ve decided that I’m going to post all of my bowling scores, in an attempt to humiliate myself into becoming a better bowler. We’ll see how it goes.
