Last night I ventured out to south Pasadenda along with many friends to catch the midnight showing of The Big Lebowski arguably one of the best films ever made ever. It’s just brilliant and that’s all there is to it. We saw it at The Rialto which often plays old cult movies at midnight every Saturday. So far I’ve seen Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and just a few weeks ago Dr. Strangelove. In the next couple months there is a few good ones that I’ll head out to, for isntance - Fight Club and a couple others that I already forgot.

Today, I think I’m gonna head out to the horse races or maybe play some poker down at Commerce Casino in LA since it’s getting harder and harder to play poker online these days. Good ol laws and whatnot.

Bums and video games

He was way into it - video HERE on YouTube.

Last night, mainly just last night I managed to drive on six freeways. I don’t think I’ve ever done that. I think my max has been five in a day. I didn’t even drive on that many freeways when my friend Chris and I drove straight from Seattle to Los Angeles.

Here they are,
Highways/Freeways : 2, 5, 10, 60, 101, 110, 605

Went to Las Vegas for the second time this month. This time for a bachelor party. Quite fun all around for a night. I was able to take a few pictures on the way to and from Las Vegas. I spent kinda alot of money again, but it was well worth it. Some highlights:

• Crazy guy in car looking at me like I did something wrong when I was turning and staying in my lane, yet he acted like I cut him off.
• loosing 4 straight hands of blackjack, $40 bucks gone in first 5 minutes of gambling. (I didn’t gamble much more the rest of the night)
• everything in between
• breakfast saturday morning at coco’s where they spelled “your” - “yur”
• leaving 2 jackets at the Monte Carlo and remebering 60 miles away, and driving back and getting them. Thus driving a total of 8 horus that day.
• Driving over 1000 miles this weekend in total

I will say that after going twice this month, Vegas is once again quite the interesting place. I get there, have a fun time, yet leave and think that I wouldn’t mind not going back. Spend too much money and it is sin city.

And now for some more photos!

Nice convo with Kristen on the aim today…

Kristen: occupation: scammer
Me: If I could, I would
Me: Doesn’t pay as good for the dudes as it does for the ladies
Kristen: yeah, true
Kristen: you’d probably do pretty well though
Me: hmmmmm, how could I make money scamming?
Me: I guess I’d like have to really scam, like con
Kristen: You could just like, I don’t know
Kristen: work it out
Me: hahahahahh

If you know me personally and my “wanna scam” antics, then this will be funny to you, either way, take it as it is.

I realized that it has been quite some time since I have posted anything. I’ve been quite on the busy side. It goes like this: work, school, work, school, work some more… weekend = goodtimes away from the computer most of the time.

This week was quite on the wild side for me and I enjoyed it all. Lets do a day rundown again just because I like making lists.

Wednesday: Worked then off to San Diego. Met up with friends (Daniel, Zac, Josh, and I) and went to the Jason Mraz show at SOMA. James Blunt opened for him who was way awesome. (more music later) Made it back to Josh’s place eventually to fall asleep.

Thursday: A day of creating costumes. Daniel and I were working on his Waldo costume which turned out awesome on Friday. Just hung out most of the night, watched Batman Begins.

Friday: A day of finalizing costumes then off to the night… Party party party. Awesome times with all the friends. (I’ll try to find pictures but I didn’t take any) I could tell many stories of this night, but that would take to long for me to type, so I’ll just say, it was wayyy fun. On a side note, I was Raoul Duke, played by Johnny Depp in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

Saturday: Relaxing until about 3pm when I was finally able to get up and head over to the spa with Sean. Met up with Zac for some dinner then off into the night again… There were two parties we went too, both kinda odd in there own ways. I drove us to each and watched all the great costumes around SDSU. We headed over to a friends by the the stadium then eventually all back to somewhere to sleep.

Sunday: Watched the Chargers beat Chiefs with Sean, Lucas and Cameron as usual on gamedays. Then I head off back up to Pomona. I get to my apartment and spend enough time unloading my car and getting ready to go to the next thing: We Are Scientists at the Troubadour. Awesome show, sooo happy I went. I headed out to Hollywood alone but remembered my friend Randy lived out there so it was cool he came to the show with me. I really like those guys and expect them to get big soon. I actually like them so much I have bought the cd from the UK since it isn’t out until January here; I also bought a shirt last night.

Well that’s the short version. Overall I’m enjoying all my times away from the computer, which seem to be alot. Have a happy Halloween!
