reldnahkram10 LET ENTRY41142 = JERSEY
Went down to Swat/ML last night to watch the Eagles game. My god the TV they put in the lounge is huge. 56" of mind-rotting goodness. So big that we had the game and the olympics on in split screen mode (yes, it can do that) and each picture was still bigger than the old ML TV. This is, of course, a very good thing. The only problem is I'm not sure if \we'll be able to move it for RLGL/wink. Oh well, we'll figure something out.
At halftime, with nothing better to do, I decided to meet up with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
neverseenbleu et al for bowling in Jersey, dragging along ccommack, showergrrl, uncleamos, Josh, and Carl. The insanity began when it was realized that in order for uncleamos et al to not drive back to Swarthmore, both of their cars and my car needed to go to Jersey. It was determined that I am not a good caravan leader. The bits where Josh was actually leading the caravan and the call I got around the airport saying Baker was closed didn't help matters. We all got there in one piece, though at one light Josh and Carl got out of their car, ran back, pounded on Chris's car, then hopped back in their car just as the light was about to turn.
In the parking lot, the road rage was released. I pull into a space, Josh pulls into a space, Chris starts to pull into a space, realizes there's a shopping cart in the space, and pulls into the space. Josh pulls out of his space, loops around the lot, and also hits the shopping cart. Twice, as I recall.
At any rate, the bowling happens. For being out of practice (I don't know how long it's been) I bowl a possible personal best of 145 (thanks to a strong finish: /-X-X7/ in 8-10). I know I bowled higher that night when the scoring machine was malfunctioning at Baker, but I'm not sure I've ever gotten that high other times.
We then hit a diner (because that's what you do in Jersey) and were reasonably well behaved, even though we were in the back in the "freak room" at Crystal. I am able to consistently get home from swat in 25 minutes on the back roads, which is good.
Played a game of Power Grid (aka Funkenschlag) on BSW withuncleamos this, uh, afternoon. I like. A lot.
It'skid_prufrock's old room, if that helps with the scale at all.
