random bowling trip today, after i drove past waveland bowl and decided that what i really wanted to do with the afternoon was blow off my errands and go bowling instead. turns out i can still hurl a ball with stunning, mind-warping, deadly accuracy. or at least enough accuracy to squeak out 124 and a couple of strikes with a bum wrist.
didn’t break 100 when bowling left-handedly, but didn’t make an almighty too humiliating ass of myself, either. i think that at 86, my left-handed bowling shamed the sorority girl one lane over. who, really, ought to have known better than to just plonk the damn ball down on the lane like that. seriously, the eight year olds on our other side were bowling more skillfully than that. bowling bracketed by pool (i won two games by forfeit, and scratched on a rebound after sinking the eight ball the one damn game i won by my own skills — reminder to self: r. is a pool shark!), followed by my first time ever playing DDR, at which i suck but i have to admit it was kind of addictingly fun, until the machine decided we could only play single player instead of both at once, which was annoying. still, further reminder to self, must look into seeing if i can pick up someone’s used DDR gear to play with at home. stupid addictive arrows. stupid Geri Halliwell cover of ‘It’s Raining Men.’ now, off to do the stuff i should have done this afternoon, in prep for flying out for a day trip at duke to learn about the unspeakably fabulous world of oracle calendaring. YOU CAN’T STOP THE FUN!let me just preface this by saying: i am not anal retentive. i am NOT!
spent some quality time going over my delicious tags, breaking some stuff out of my old “/” scheme (i.e., “computing/software” becomes “computing” and “software” — surprisingly, the tags themselves needed very little conversion to retain sensibility, with the exception that “computing/sox” had to become “computing sarbanes-oxley” because it would be sad if i went to look for baseball stuff and ended up with computer security legislation compliance stuff), fixing a couple of typoes, consolidating duplicates (‘All instances of tag “pedantry” have been replaced with “pedantic”‘), and so forth. if i learned one thing from this exercise, it’s that i really, really overuse the “misc” tag. well, unless approximately one-third of everything on the intarwebs really is miscellaneous…
ice skating at lunch is THE COOLEST MOST FUN THING EVER.
totally did not fall today. worked a little on going backwards. turned a bunch of big circles. practiced t-stops a little. had a blast with
rose_kennedy. RAWK!
i cannot respond to your emails because jinx is blocking both my work and gmail servers due to spamcop and sorbs, respectively!
short answer, fit for public broadcasting: i have been thus far unable to comply with your request due to apparently having the wrong location for the objective — either that, or naming the target after a god of chaos was a bad idea! however i remain hopeful for future resolution and am pursuing alternate channels which may yield increased levels of success, i.e. greater than zero! le singe est sur la branche! et le chat monte une bicyclette! operative N. out! p.s. AIM me or something; there’s no pesky RBLs involved that way! (p.p.s. holy shit have i had a lot of coffee; look at all those exclamation points! they were unintentional, at least at first!)
