New Things November-ish: Thursday the 32nd of November

I am in my fifth year in DC now (woah) and have never spent a significant amount of time at Gallery Place in Chinatown. I have been to the movie theater once and I have been to the bar once but I had never been to the fancy schmancy bowling alley there.

I have my thoughts about bowling, mostly that I hate doing it. I like hanging out at the bowling alley and drinking and eating and watching other people bowl, and I like saying "Fuck it, Dude, let's go bowling" all the time. I like giving other people high fives when they get strikes and spares and I like making fun of Capital R when he mixes his sports metaphors and says "I really need to strike out on this next frame." I think I don't like bowling for the same reason I don't like goldfish crackers; bowling and goldfish were both forced upon me too much as a child. I also really don't like when the idiot guys are like "oh yeah, that was a good one but next time you have to keep your angle straight and you have to pull the ball back just like this and you have to put spin blah blah I'm a douchebag who just likes women to think I know what I'm talking about." Also I am bad at bowling, and have no desire to improve.

I had a fun time, even though I had eaten too many pad thai (WAY TOO MANY) and my tummy hurt a lot. But it was because I got to watch instead of having to actually bowl, except for one frame, when one of the people we were with went away to get more drinks, but then a douchebag told me what I did wrong, and so I sat back down and resolved to never bowl again unless I change my mind, because I hate it, and I don't have to do something that I don't want to do.

Also even though it was fun, it was a bowling alley with a dress code, which I think is really stupid.

This has been my rant against bowling. ICE SKATING, LET'S DO THAT, BECAUSE I LIKE IT.
