oh yeah, i'm back from vegas. it was fun and relaxing. i posted a few photos as well. i waited too long to write anything, so i've forgotten most of it. isn't the law of las vegas though? what ever happens in vegas stays in vegas? here are some comments anyway:

- thanks to suejon for taking us out for a great dinner, and for driving us around and being subjected to photographs. it would have been 4 days without listening to tool or sublime if it weren't for suejon's car stereo.

- i didn't gamble much at all. i lost about $25 on the slots the first few days, then i won a bunch on the 3rd day and stopped.

- walking around by the pool, i noticed that most people read stupid books. i've never read a dean koontz or danielle steele novel, but i assume they suck. people would stare at the book i was reading, probably because of the star-eyed blow-up doll on the cover.

- easiest job in the world: las vegas weatherman. "today it's hot and sunny".

- we watched a screening of a Nathan Lane pilot at CBS Television city. good god it sucked. poor Nathan Lane, TV is beneath you. "well brent, i just fell in love with script and my recent trouble with the IRS sealed the deal!"

- at the star trek experience ride at the hilton, i learned that i was the ancestor of jean luc picard. somewhere along the way my family tree becomes white and french.

- 3 krispy kreme doughnuts make a good breakfast.

- the treasure island show is kinda stupid. the pirates sink the british boat and everyone cheers. am i the only one who sees that the pirates are murderers and thieves while the british were just trying to stop them?

- why do stores give you a receipt for everything?

- on the flight back, after i passed through normal security, another guy was doing random security checks before you board the plane. so of course i was "randomly" selected because of my large backpack/carry on, and not all because of my brown skin. oh well, it was kinda amusing. there was nothing in my shoes.
