gambling with Gandalf and dancing with Dr. Zoot

[cornerofmadness]

went to the casino today for dinner and mom, Lucky Uncle and my aunt were going to see Joan Rivers (I passed on that. She's not my type of comedianne. Dinner ended up a bust as Rivers sold out flooding the casino with nearly four thousand people and you couldn't get near the dining hall. Lucky Uncle got us into the high limits area for snacks but the only thing i'd eat was angels on horseback and the bacon was totally raw. gross.I did manage to get in and go to the food court and snagged pizza. Since i wasn't going to the show, Lucky Uncle gave me a stack of drink comps and I went gambling.

Four Long Island ice teas and a couple Amaretto sours later, I'm gambling with Gandalf. they had a really cool Lord of the Rings themed machine. I won a lot of money there, enough to play for hours (I was only down 20$ after 4 hours of playing which is damn good). I did go to silks to hear Dr.Zoot a jazz/swing band. Took my paper and pen so me, Long Island ice Tea and jazz worked together to create a few scenes for Temple et al.

Mom enjoyed Joan Rivers. We gambled some more and she drove home (since i planned on not being in any shape to drive. Wheee girlie drinks.

all right time to go lay in the grass and see if I can see the Persaids

I've never heard of that pond being haunted at the RBC and considering there was a time when I went there pretty much every time I went over to the island, which was frequent. Weird what you find out about where you live from other people. That said it's a lovely shot.

the back of it is also supposedly haunted (the cherry tree is supposedly haunted by the first gov.)

keeping in mind this was on a ghost walk.

thanks

Whee for girly drinks, indeed! And I wouldn't have wanted to see Joan Rivers, either.

I was so looking forward to seeing the Perseids this weekend, and we are totally inundated with smoke from wildfires right now - it stinks, and this morning it was so thick I literally couldn't see across the street. The outdoor tourism things here have shut down, to keep people from being outside breathing it for extended periods. This sucks!! (Not to mention what it is doing to my sinuses - I've had a sinus induced migraine since yesterday morning.) So unless a major rain/windstorm blows through, no meteor showers for us here, sadly. :(

yeah not my type of comedian

oops, I didn't even see you guys were on fire. used to live thru that in FL. that sucks. a storm rolled in last night and I couldn't see anything. then again I was drunk so who knows what i saw

[helliongoddess.livejournal.com]

I'm a good sixty miles from where the main fires are, if not more, but the smoke is outrageous. Where the girls and mom live is 20 miles closer, and it's even worse there. Hopefully tonight we will get some thunderstorms (50% chance) and it will disperse some of it.

A good drunk now and then can have definite therapeutic value.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

good luck with that.

indeed it does

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Drat, you missed the girly drinks for last week's prompt in FMA Fic Contest. I mean, you could've used Long Island Ice Teas or something. :D

Glad you had fun at the casino, despite the influx of Joan River fans.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i had already considered it. I did already use my drinking binges

it was a good time gambling.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Good for the gambling. Playing with Gandalf is probably always fun?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it's a really slick game

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Video games for adults.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it is and that's what I realized long ago, if they ever crossed a real video game with gambling,I'd be broke

btw I'll be on late again tonight, probably after 10

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yeah, definitely. Fortunately, one-armed bandits don't really do anything for me. XD I'd rather play dice or cards.

Understood!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

those cost far too much to play

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

True, I've only played for fun.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I like cards, the dice bore me but yeah those are for the higher rollers at the casinos

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I've never played dice at a casino at all. I don't even know what you're supposed to roll for. I just know I'm decent at dice games.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

depends on the game

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I know you'd know. :D

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

actually i don't. I know nothing about those games otehr than the odds are really against you and I can't afford to play

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Ahhh.

[yuukihikari]

Ohhhh haunted pond sounds fun. And lol yay XD girly drinks.

No persaids for me... Fooooog/haze/whatever the heck this stuff is that Lake Ontario causes o.x

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it is. Apparently Victoriais haunted like mad

ah yes the lake effect (I lved 4 years on Lake Erie)

[yuukihikari]

This lake effect is a new phenomina(sp?) for me... I'm still trying to convince myself that it's normal lol.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

haha, it's an annoyance more often than not
