We went to the beach yesterday morning. The beach fucking reeks. Mucked up memories of our elementary school trip to the sewage treatment plant.
Alex didn't wear any sunscreen when we were at the beach this morning.
Needless to say, he was starting to feel the pain.
Went and ate some really tasty Cuban food. Some of the best (and cheapest) food we've had so far on the trip. I'd estimate that, not including airfare and the hotel, I've spent roughly $240 in the past four days. Thank God rent and tuition were due BEFORE the trip.
Then the ladies and the gents parted ways for the evening, for the customary same-sex-last-night-before-wedding-parties. The fairer sex went on to some kind of ghost tour, which was by all reports completely lame and largely involved taking pictures of buildings to find "orbs" floating in frame. With digital cameras. Whatever.
We MEN, however, went bowling. At least, that was the plan...
The place was called Stick and Stein, kind of a bar/pool hall/minibowling/arcade combo. It was actually pretty cool, in that Brian-only-feels-comfortable-in-total-dives kind of way. We bowled thrice. As previously indicated, the lanes were WEE, with the ten pins connected to the alley by a kind of rope system, so when you hit them they basically all fell down. The balls were also tiny, fitting easily in the palm of your hand, and with no holes. Very conducive to chucking at high speeds to get very satasfying explosive strikes. I need one of these machines for my living room.
Then, some Area51 and some racing games, and then Alex started to feel worse, so we headed back to the hotel...
and watched some shitty heavily censored cable movies. Though this sounds lame, fun was had. Alex didn't really want a bachelor party, so this was all thrown together last minute, but friends+quaintly small bowling=fun. At least that's what I remember from junior high math.
So, wedding's tonight, Alex was rocking back and forth last night with the chills from what might be heat exhaustion or food poisoning...anyones guess at this point.
Hoping for the best in Key West,
Hypenated-Brian
