Okay so I'm alive people! I've just been SWAMPED like you can't fucking believe since I got back in town. got 2 midterms tomorow(thursday), totally didn't finish one of the 8 assighments for one of my classes so my HW grade gonna suck but I didnt have time. I got a midterm on monday, and another on tuesday.
I also ordered new ram which turned out to be bad so I spent like 2 days trying to screw with that before I RMA'd it... so comp was out of comission.
HOWEVER... Vegas was a GREAT escape! I went and saw Coldplay and Fiona Apple in cocnert at the MGM Grand, and sat next to three really drunk guys from London. It was helarious, and fun. Coldplay was great in concert, and during one of the songs... for the ENTIRE song they broadcast an image of a blackbear pacing back and forth across the screen. I don't know why... but it sticks in my head.
I also got a hot stone massage, and sat in the spa there at the MGM grand. I kinda didn't expect all the guys in the spa to be walking around nakid with bathrobes that they didn't bother to close... I dunno wtf was up with that. Most spas and turkish baths i've been to... people at least ATTEMPT to cover themselves.
Got to go to Studio 54 there, which was great. Though, I have to admit the euroclub(I forget the exact name) they had there was more my atmosphere. Lots of crazyness and people walking around half naked and making out. Got a few numbers of people who live in Vegas(flattering... not useful.) and had a crazy time. I must say people respond to ya well when you say "oh i'm staying right here at this hotel." "Oh really?! want to show me your room? *wink wink*" That sort of thing.
Went and ate a delicious dinner at one of the upscale resteraunts in the casino. I WAS going to eat at Wolfgang Puck's resteraunt... but it had some funky stuff on the menu and I hadn't bothered with reservations so it was goign to be an hour+ wait.
The Belagio had a great seasonal garden in place for the chinese newyear with fountains and stuff... really impressive. Most of vegas was decorated for the Year of the Dog as well as Superbowl Sunday. Interesting mix of people to be sure. I got to go sit in cars that I could NEVER in my life actually afford... like a few really nice Bentlies, Feraris, and a Lotus. Got to watch the gladiators and legionares all dressed up and roaming around(no pun intended with the rome). Crazy stuff... OH I did get to meet Greg Proops(the commedian... he's on that who's line is it anyway show.). I also got to watch a 70 yearold man in a white double-brested silver pinstriped suit walk around with a girl who looked to be about 19 and a foot taller than him in a cocktail dress make out, and go shopping. It was TOTALY a vegas moment. Much drinking much spending, much wildness to be sure!! Hope to do it again relatively soon... when my funds recover. OUCH! $4 for a litre of water in the hotel.
OHH and like any true friend, I got all my friends presents while there... HOOKER FLIERS just to be an ass. LOL. I couldn't believe how hard people were pimping em on the street. Was kinda crazy to see people walking around with open alchahol containers on the street at noon also.
Anyway thats rambling and semi-incoherent but i've fried my brain and need to keep every little bit of it for exams tomorow. SO ANYWAY! Hope everyone is doing great!
