Bowling and Magic

Well, in my last post, I metioned that I was starting a bowling league on thursday and then doing a tournament today (though technically it was yesterday, being that it's 12:20am right now.) Well, I have the results for those of you who care. =P
Bowling: This was interesting... I signed myself and Joe up about two months ago for the league. About two weeks later, I get a call from someone who says he has another partner, and they need two more teamtes. As I understood it, we were good to go. We had a team and we're set. Well, Thursday comes along, it's time for the league to start... No teamates. Wonderful. Either they didn't show up because they felt no commitment to be there, or (and this is probably more likely) the tornadoes that hit all day thursday affected them somehow, wether it was them directly or their friend's and relatives or something. I hope everything was well for them and their families if that's the case. But I'm hoping moreso that they just didn't go for the sake of not going. Granted, that's rather rude, but still. I'd rather that than family or friends get hurt.
So in the end, we get placed with an older (straight, for some reason I feel the need to explain this... lol) couple who also didn't have partners lined up. And the four of us ROCKED our opponents. Joe bowled himself a 212 in the first of three games. AWSOME start. Then bowled 125 and 162. lol Brought him an average of about 166. Whereas I bowled 182, 165, and 181. Overall, our team won by 422 pins when you add up the total combined team scores. So yeah, pretty sweet. And because of the situation about being paired up, one of our teamates came up with a great team name. Half-Asked. =P Puntastic ain't it?
As for the Magic tournament, that went FAR better than I expected. I was thinking oh, chances are I might win one, MAYBE two rounds... No, I ended up going with four wins, two losses. I even made high enough in the six rounds to win a prize! Quite pleased with myself. :) Granted, I only won one booster pack, but still. =P I placed high enough to win won! Le woot. =D
So there you have it. Got bowling on thursdays now, and I'm going to try and join more magic tournaments when I find formats I like. Vintage is definately a good one. ^_^ As for upcoming events, my household and I are all going to see the new Indiana Jones movie tomorrow afternoon (techincally today) with another friend of ours. Highly looking forward to it. And then we're going to the bowling alley again on sunday to get me some new bowling shoes and to get us in some more practice. Hooray for more bowling. =D I can't get enough of it. Anyway, I still don't know when I'll be back online regarly for those I chat with on Yahoo, but regardless, I'll shut up now. Laters!
