A List Of Things I Enjoyed About Last Night
• Our cab driver to Cantina was playing his mixtape from 1987. It was all doo wop songs he’d taped off the radio and it was the bomb.
• The DJ at North Bowl put on “The Power of Love” which caused Hilary to look at Chris and say, “Can I tell you that I secretly love this song?” He agreed that he did too. At the exact same time, Ashlie was telling me she was upset with the way she was bowling and I replied, “Don’t worry about it! Huey Lewis is on!” And after these simultaneous conversations about the superb songmaking of Huey Lewis, the record sccccccccratched and the DJ ended the song after only twenty seconds. Buzzkill!
• Corn dogs, sliders and tots!
• I’ve been working on this thing called “will power” and I don’t feel the need to go out during games for cigarettes now. It only holds up the team!
• Colleen did the “nerd who wants to make out and lives in parents’ basement” voice again. If you haven’t heard it, it’s amazing.
• It was one of those legendary bowling nights where the planets align and Mars is in Uranus saying, “Hey, why don’t we make everyone totally awesome at being awesome tonight but like in a more awesome way?” And then even though everyone is awesome all the time, it’s like there’s some kind of beacon of seriously epic celestial light shining down on everyone’s hair and if you look closely you can see tiny little chubby cherubs playing Beatles songs on string instruments. It’s not dandruff! They’re playing “Norwegian Wood” and you’d know that if you believed in magic. At that point, we all hug and compliment each other’s yabbos in between dancing in the lanes. It’s pretty great.
I’m going to be sad when bowling league ends, but then softball begins!
