That’s a bowling pin
Click the image to zoom in
The pink cast comes from both the room and the stripes on the bowling pin. But it makes me look blushed… which kind of suits the photo!
I almost used the image on its own without any kind of accompanying text. It’s fantastically ambiguous.
The bowling pin is something I inherited from a friend at university. He quit his job at the bowling alley after just a few weeks, and on the way out he grabbed an armful of pins and ran for it. They are surprisingly big, and very heavy. The tapered bit that you see in the photo is really easy to wrap your hand around. And then you can… heft it. Swing it around. Like a cave man.

I’m off to a LAN party tonight. I think there will be some photos of geeks ‘in situ’, greasy and slumped over their computers. I’m actually going to try and make geeks look cool — that’s the purpose of this LAN party. Pretty hard I admit, but if someone’s going to do it… it should be me. If I fail, you simply won’t see much on the blog until Monday!

November 12th, 2009 at 9:56 amThanks, Ed… *coughs manly-like*
Which outtake, Abi?
November 12th, 2009 at 11:58 am(And thanks Lauren…! I generally go for ‘rugged’, but cute will do on a bad day.)
November 12th, 2009 at 11:58 amLove it. LOVE it. The expression, the coloring…. Beautiful TMI.
November 12th, 2009 at 4:08 pmYay! Thanks.
I’ll compile a bunch of other images from the same ’shoot’, where I was varying my expression. There are some pretty funny photos…
November 12th, 2009 at 4:11 pmI love a photo that tells a story, although this “story” is a little scary! And sebastian, you’re ‘ruggedly’ adorable!
November 12th, 2009 at 7:00 pmYou know all the right words to use…!
Now I go and blush…
November 12th, 2009 at 7:09 pmHave all the fun at the LAN. Think of me while you’re there, wishing I was one of the greasy hunched over computer nerds frantically playing some kickass game like CoD4 or WoW.
Plz.
November 12th, 2009 at 8:43 pmCoD4:2 (MW2) was released just in time for the LAN…!
My thoughts will be of you
November 12th, 2009 at 8:45 pmI’m curious about the things MEN ask (or tell) you to do.
Like, “Go eat a Hob-Nob.”
November 12th, 2009 at 9:25 pmI believe there is some ‘chocolate biscuit’ euphemism…
But I rarely do what other boys tell me to do.
BUT… I am also very good at going along for the ride. I like it when other people make plans!
November 12th, 2009 at 9:26 pmOoh, what are you going to be playing? When do you guys get Left4Dead 2 in the UK?
Oh hey, a bowling pin.
November 12th, 2009 at 11:24 pmHah… just after the LAN
We have the 4 player demo of course… but it hurts to know that we could’ve been playing 4v4…!
November 12th, 2009 at 11:27 pmhahaha thats beautiful.
Looking forward to the geek-suit photos.
November 13th, 2009 at 1:35 amGirls ask you to go bowling?! The nerve!
I’m terrible at bowling. Ironically, though, I once–
Never mind. I think that story is simply too geeky to share. Sorry.
Have fun at the LAN!
November 13th, 2009 at 3:02 amIf you can’t share a geeky story here I’m not sure where you can… other than your own blog…
Thanks! Finally sat down now — got food, snacks, caffeine… and now to GAME.
(I’m awful at bowling too…)
November 13th, 2009 at 1:59 pmThe expression is what makes it
And the pink cast is good.
Have fun at your LAN party!
November 13th, 2009 at 7:14 pmi feel stupid right now… is there something i missed in the picture? what do you mean “you would be amazed by some girls asked me to do”?
November 16th, 2009 at 5:10 amThanks Nyx. I’m having fun. Sleep-deprived fun… kinda…
It’s open for interpretation, John! I’m not going to come right out and say these things…
