Went bowling last night. Stupid snow prevented everyone I invited from coming, so it was just me. Bowled six games. I haven't bowled six games in one day in a LONG time. I'm not as sore as I thought I would be, though, which is good. I've bowled the past two weeks, which probably helped. Back was a little sore after the third game, but I stayed. Sadly, though, my scores don't seem to be improving. I made a few more spares this time, but still missed a ton of them. Couldn't string two strikes together until the fourth game (more on why this happened later). Started every game out with a strike then a spare, but then it all went to hell after that. I was set to leave after the third game, but I didn't. Some random people started bowling next to me, including one girl that was wearing a VERY familiar perfume. I wanted to leave, but I couldn't. She smelled so fucking pretty, I just kept right on bowling. I ended up averaging about 40 pins higher in the last three games than I did in the first three, though. I'm hopeless...
Oh, on another bowling note. When I bowl and I throw a certain way (a smooth arc [which is different from the sharp angle I used to throw. my new ball doesn't do the sharp angle, which I'm still trying to get used to. I could actually go on for a long time about the changes I need to make to my form to get this right, but I won't.]) and there are a lot of people around, certain things happen. One of which is that people think they can hook the ball like me. They try. They fail. Hard. Another thing about my form that people who've seen me bowl may have noticed is that I swing my right leg way up to keep my balance on the release (and to move it out of the way of the ball). This makes some people laugh. The girl with the perfume was mimicking/mocking this the whole time, which I thought was amusing.
About that job interview I had today:
If I don't get this job...I swear. When after the first question, they basically say 'you win', I think I've got a pretty good shot. I've never been more relaxed in an interview, which is kind of weird considering there were three people interviewing me, alternating questions as we went. They said they'd let me know by the end of this week and that they wouldn't leave me hanging. ACT said that three months ago, and I still haven't heard from them. I believe these guys, though. I've never felt better about an interview. Scratch that. I've had an interview where the person interviewing me said, "I think you're one of the best interview I've done." Strangely enough, I did not get that job.
A note to the city:
Dear Cedar Rapids,
It stopped snowing hours ago. You can plow now.
