bethje and I went out bowling. We hadn't done this in some time, and it was our first time going with just the two of us. Unfortunately, I had no idea how to work the electronic scoreboard, in terms of putting in our names and such. A guy who worked there had to help me. There also seemed to be something wrong with its settings, because it kept saying we had gotten one point when we hadn't hit any pins at all. The bowling alley guy said that just happened sometimes in those particular lanes. I also accidentally erased a frame when Beth got a spare, because the lane wouldn't reset itself, and I didn't know what else to do. So I guess the moral is to always take someone who knows how to work the scoring machine when you go bowling. Other than that, though, it was fun. Afterwards, Beth played Gimme a Break in the arcade, and then we went to Denny's for an appetizer and dessert. I don't recommend Denny's carrot cake, by the way. It's not bad, but I've had MUCH better.
Today, I bought a used copy of Tori Amos' Little Earthquakes for $5. I guess I didn't really need it, since Beth owns a copy, but $5 isn't a bad price, and it was the only one of her albums I didn't have yet (aside from Y Kant Tori Read and Strange Little Girls, which don't really count as much, at least to my mind).

Also, I'm not generally too thrilled over the arrangements with the band. It seems like the drums and bass are pretty much doing the same things for every song. I think I get the most out of the Roadside Cafe part.
I sound like a complainyface, but I really do love her shows.

Plus, I absolutely love the expression "complainyface!"
