I hate gambling
Feb. 14th, 2004 03:00 amI have returned from the promised land and it was ...smoky... Conneticut looked a lot like Mass, really, except with pissier, uglier people (sorry to anyone from CT who's not pissy and ugly. Maybe it was just the casino?)
The boxing matches, which I thought would be total shit, were actually a lot of fun. The prize fight of the night actually lasted a full 12 rounds. I say this because the first two were, respective 27 seconds into the second round and a minute-odd into the first round, two KOs. The whole thing lasted until 10 past 11, at which point we vacated the arena and pottered around the Swarovski Crystal shop, which was very glittery. I beat Steven at skeeball-like bowling, which is pretty amazing, considering he's a much better real life bowler than I am. I guess I would be really good at shuffleboard...
I also had a Krispy Kreme raspberry filled donut. It was ok. I liked the filling, but it was generally too sweet for my tastes.
I also did my first gambling since I've turned 21 and discover that...
I hate it.
I played the slot machines. We decided to throw in $5 each. I won like $15 and got a 7-7-7, which technically should have been a jackpot, but evidently I didn't get enough coins in, or something. Technically, I should have won between $100 and $300, but who the hell knows why it did nothing. I personally think it was a rip-off.
We loaded up and headed out after that and now, here I am updating and trying not to totally fall asleep. That was the adventure.
Actually, I need sleep, because I have to work tomorrow. Evil Julie alleges it will be busy at night, but I think she's full of shit, because it's Valentine's Day and people with be doing things with their respective wives/girlfriends/mistresses. Bah.
