I was silently sitting at dinner pondering what to do for the evening. I turn to Deanna and inquire after her plans, " I dunno yet?" hmmm THEN memory does it's job and Deanna says in an almost panic stricken voice, "Hey? Aren't we going bowling tonight?" I feel my eyes widen and I scan the cantene for a clock...5:30... that is way to eary to be going bowling. I relax as I realize we hadn't missed it ( we had after all made a 3 pound deposit!). We can't figure out what time we were meant to go so Deanna and I head out of dinner early. We get back, freshen up, and then go out for out evening of bowling!
We walked to the alley which was nice. It was a warmish night and it wasn't cloudy which was a pleasant change. I met a german boy, a Finnish girl and boy, a french girl, and a german girl. There were a few others there but I didn't get to meet everyone. I ended up bowling with the Finnish girl and the german girl who were already friends. They were very nice!
We bowled- and I did horendously bad. It was pitiful. I who have gone bowling about 30 times in my life did way worse than everyone else who had gone maybe four times? I got a 41 my first game! I know it's embarassing but just so you know how bad it was. My second game i got a 73 so I improved at least. ANYWAYS- it was fun watching people's bowling habits. One noteworthy one was the German boy. He was on the lane next to us and it seemed, to me at least, that everytime he got a strike he would swing around and flip off his group with a sort of "yyea! in your face!" kind of thing. Everytime.
The most interesting part of evening though had to be the music videos. My friend Jordan was in the UK and I read his blog and he made an entry about this channel they watch in the UK that just plays awful music videos- one after the other. I was trying to imagine this and couldn't- how could it be that bad!? I don't know if this was the same channel or not... but it was that bad. The music sounded okay- it was sort in the back ground- but on every lane and a projection screen on the back wall- they were playing these music videos that were just... ridiculously awful in pretty much every aspect. Most of them looked like they were from 80's early 90's... but who can be sure.
There was one that I wrote down becuase it was just so bizarre I didn't want to forget it. It started with a scene of some sad/bored looking party goes standing..on a roof I think. THEN there is like a shooting star/comet thing coming towards them and it turns out to be ... you guessed it- A Dairy Truck!! (??????????) So I am gawking at the screen wondering what in the world could happen next and then the side door of the truck opens and a little dwarf man wearing a tye dye shirt, jacket, and sailor captain hat hops out and invites the party goers inside. Once in- there is a party going on! It's like a rave with crazy lights and dancing. Then everyone piles back out and the truck takes back off into space and you see a few guys squashed against the glass in a Bill and Tedesque sort of way... and thats it. Wow.
