The Bachelor and More
I headed down to Pine Island to stay with Elizabeth and Dusty on Friday. We basically hung out on Friday night. Saturday was Rob's bachelor party. We met at the bowling alley at 2:00. I was trying to confirm where the name of the alley for another friend on the phone while at the same time giving Dusty directions and him complaining about us getting lost even though we were going the right way. Of course Dusty succeeded in irritating me (which of course was his intent), but we got there very shortly after this, which was a good thing.
Bowling was interesting. I have issues with holding on to things, and was surprised to see how much of a difference one pound made. I still didn't do very well, but at least I could keep a grip on the ball after that. It was okay though, as I don't think anyone did very well. If I remember correctly, Rob, the one who bowls 300, was somewhere around 150. Afterwards we went to Old Chicago because it was across the street and none of us had eaten lunch. Dusty ordered Summit, which I warned him not to, and he knew better but did it anyway and complained about it afterwards. He tried to order Rob a bad tasting beer, but they didn't have what he was thinking of (it's called Kingfisher, don't ever order it...) and the beer the waitress suggested apparently turned out to be okay... so Dusty had more luck buying bad beer for himself.
After lunch we headed to the Twins game. Yes... I went to a baseball game, and yes... it was as boring as ever. Then we headed out to the bar. It was a really cool bar in Uptown Minneapolis, and the best part of it was that they served beer in liter sized glasses. So, it was pretty fun.
On Sunday, Elizabeth, Dusty and I went around looking at stuff in Rochester and then went and saw Talladega Night, which was okay, not the best, but funny. It was nice to see a movie since I've only gone to two the whole summer, one of which I had to force myself to go to by myself. That night, Elizabeth made dinner, some kind of fish, and I ate it... I can't believe I went to a baseball game and ate fish in the same weekend, eeck! It was pretty good though and I didn't terribly hate it. Anyway, we're gonna start moving stuff to the new house tonight, so hopefully that goes smoothly.
