the other night, my friends and i went bowling because we hadn't done that in a really long time and we decided that we should start doing something new each weekend, like a new activity, instead of the typical things like going to the movies and stuff. we said every weekend so maybe it'll happen once a month if we're lucky. at any rate, in theory, it should keep us busy for a while. so while we were hanging out, in between turns, we started to think of things we could do.
even though i called and specifically asked when midnight bowling was and they guy told me every friday night- apparently it's not on friday, it's on saturday... so midnight bowling is still on our list. glow-in-the-dark pins, music, beer, nachos, sure, why not.
remember the roller rink? remember how it was the field trip you most looked forward to? and everyone at least had one birthday party there. it was a sad, sad day when they closed it down.
ROLLER JAM USA is a rink in staten island that has an adult night every saturday night with a DJ and a bar but what i think would be super fun is an actual 70's roller disco. there's gotta be a place that at least does a 70's night once in a while. it would be so hysterical to get dressed up and stuff. if anyone knows of one please let me know. ice skating was also added to the list, but i seriously bust my ass every time i go ice skating so maybe it'll get overlooked.
go karts. life-sized mario-kart. need i say more? i think not. where do we sign up? hopefully we will all be better sports than dane cook.
museums. starting with the Guggenheim because it's one that none of us have been to. then i'm seeing to it that i get them to MoMA before april so they can see the Tim Burton exhibit. it was awesome. definitely worth seeing again. hitting all the other ones that we can think of in between. culture is a good thing.
karaoke bar- but the kind where you have to sing in front of everyone. i've only ever been to a karaoke place where you get your own room. this seems like a lot more fun and entertaining. there's supposed to be a good place down in the West Village on MacDougal.
although this is more of a warmer-weather activity, the Botanical Gardens are supposed to be beautiful and i've never been. i'd also like to go to the zoo. i haven't been since i was a little kid. i don't even remember. miniature golf is also another warmer-weather activity. Carly said she wanted to try real golf and i told her she was on crack. you have to get up early and it takes like 5 hours to play golf. i'd rather stick pins in my eyes.
check out local bands at local venues like Mexicali Blues and Maxwells. one of my favorite local bands- Scarecrow Collection- is starting to play shows again after being on hiatus for a while. and i love music. i would go to a concert every weekend if i could. i'm currently counting down to Alice in Chains at Terminal 5. i can't wait.
tonight, we're getting together to watch the Grammy's. i guess i should try to get some sleep. i think i might finally be tired enough to actually fall asleep. it is, after all, almost 7:30 in the morning. well i'm looking forward to the red carpet, the 3D Michael Jackson tribute (got our 3D glasses from Target) and getting some sleep. ciao.
************UPDATE************
we
almost forgot about Medieval Times. i haven't been there since i was a kid and to my surprise some of my friends have never been. on that same note, i've never been to the Renaissance Faire and i've always really wanted to go. this year i'm going for sure.
