The Striker Cometh.

The weekend in short:

Slept like the dickens Friday night, woke up around 9:30 Saturday.

Nothing very spectacular during the day.

Strummed a little guitar, surfed a little internet.

Saturday night, we went bowling once more. The three on my lane (two fellas and myself) did awesome all night. We all three rolled up our pant legs as if to say "yes, we are from the fifties!" Our team name was "Testosterone," and we tried to act as "macho" as we could while we bowled, grunting and growling at strikes and spares, bumping arms and cheering each other (we didn't get a chance to bust out the classic chest-bump). I put up all the names for people that were there. They were all Catholic sounding names, such as Brother this, Sister that, Friar so-and-so, Pope whats-his-face. Because of the macho/Catholic combo, the testosterone boys thought it would be really funny if we actually acted like that and we really were Catholic. Imagine it, three nice boys show up in their black and whites, acting humble and then BAM!, they start grunting and hurrah-ing and being as macho as possible. Yes, we did think it was funny. On Saturday they have Midnight Bowling, and colored pins in the right place can earn you some change (.50 cents plus depending on where they lie) if you get a strike. I got $4.50 from those. Also, they sell lucky strike tickets. Five tickets, two dollars. Your ticket is called, you write your lane number on the back, and they announce you on your next approach. $20 for a strike, $10 for a nine-count. I proceeded to get a strike. So, the two-some hour visit to the lanes netted me $7.50 total after accounting for buying my lucky strike tickets and paying to bowl and for shoes. I would call it a good night.

Sunday: church, lunch with mom at [censored] (you didn't think I would give it away, did you shortie? :P), picked up a couple records on the cheap (Visqueen and Presidents of the United States of America) from Easy Street Records. Great store, greater people.

40 Days small group at six. Enchiladas courtesy of Sheryl Lerin for dinner with chocolate chip cookie chasers.

Wow, I think that turned out longer than I thought it was.
Go team, go :).
Oh yeah, and I developed another roll of film today in photography, so tomorrow I may print me up a proof sheet if the spirit moves me.

Rock and roll, kids.

Bowling...sweet action. I want to go bowling bad. They have it cheap on Wednesday nights, but I tutor. I must remedy that at some point. Kilter was decent. Pretty middle school-esque being in the gym but fun nevertheless. We're playing a tournament at UTK in November. They signed up too many teams for the one at UTC. Peace. I'm out.
