Swimming and Bowling

We got memberships at the gym across the street today, so now Nefarious and I have an indoor pool that we can use for the winter. It doesn’t have a deep end unfortunately, but I suspect that means it will be warm… Warmer than winter swimming, which starts in a couple weeks, and this year we’ve met some of the other folks who winter swim in Toronto so there will be more of us.

This is my best score ever in Wii bowling. It is her worst game ever, but her best “make the saddest face you can” ever*. I got pro status from this game which gave me a fancy ball, but then I was soundly beaten on the next game, and lost my status, upon which I made that face.

* so no one worries — this was completely hammed up and a big joke for the picture!

Funnest part of our day? Going to the coin-op car wash and having ultra-squirt gun wars with the spray guns. It’s more show than a splash though, because they just turn into mist at a range of more than five feet — so it’s very dramatic and a lot of fun, but won’t really get you soaked.

Oh yeah, and I was looking at videos of bugs — I like this trilobyte beetle best but also these: weird bug, another weird bug, hickory horned devil caterpillar, big caterpillar, weird bug, giant banana slug, deady bug, looks like lichen, toothbrush caterpillar… and then watch this one last!

    She clicked past the score screen too fast when she destroyed me so we couldn’t snap a matching shot. I do however have a memory card full of pictures of my butt because whenever I’m not watching my camera she grabs it and takes a picture of me from behind and laughs her head off.

    I recall seeing pictures of Ari before making fake sad faces, followed by fake faces of all other sorts. She certainly is quite a ham!!!

    Nice! You can also get different coloured balls by holding up, down or left just before the round starts.

    I almost bowled a perfect game the other day – missed my final shot!

Wow Shannon, that's really annoying! What is it, 1997 on Geocities? Retroweb is NOT cool!
