Mohegan Sun
So.
Just a response to a comment left on the ol' blog. It was snowing down in Conneticut, but not in Massachusetts. As soon as I hit CT, it was snowing. I knew this because I called my sister to check on the weather. I thought it would be light, but nope, as soon as I was about 45 min from the place, there was snow on the ground. And pretty soon, the whole place was covered in snow. So, it turned a 1 hour 30 minute commute to 3 hours. Not too bad, expect for the fact that I'm a little skittish about driving in the snow. I had an accident a while ago, where it stopped snowing and the roads where clear, but I hit a patch of black ice, hit the curb, and wrecked the alignment on the family volvo. didn't hit anybody, and didn't leave a noticeable scratch on the car, but it was still ruined. also, had a small, old 1984-5 bmw standard that just was hell on wheels whenever it snowed, so i never really got used to driving in it. i'm a wuss, what can i say?
so, i'm driving down, i see a few people whipe, yes whipe, out on the snow, just competely spin out of control and hit the medium, which made me very nervous. but i still made it safe and sound...after losing a few pounds due to sweat.
the hotel rooms were pretty awesome. maybe it was because the bed was nice, or maybe it was because it was really the only truly smoke-free place. or maybe it was because I won some guy's woman playing craps and another guy's bottle of champaign playing pazaak. nah, it was definitely the bed.
just a side thought. apparently, hulk hogan has 4 houses, one of which is so big he keeps a full-time staff of 4 people fully employed to run it. damn, i need to get into wrestling! who wants to be my tag-team partner?
so, we had a some of those "rah-rah, go team" meetings, then got to gamble. i know nothing about gambling, but someone showed me the rules and the odds of playing the roulette wheel. after breaking even (which means i lost $1) and thinking i had the "system" down, i decided to bet everything on black (ala wesley snipes), but then said, "i'll probably lose anyways." which jinxed everything for me and the whole table. after realizing the actual "system" is to see which numbers have been coming up and then betting the number, before the number, and after the number, i slinked away minus $10.
then figuring that i "know" video games, we (the lady-bug and i) hit a few of the video slots machines. after just playing around, we (I) finally had a hit of $90! meaning we walked away up $50 from the casino. i wanted to play some more, just another $10, but my hand(z) were forced.
that's the mohegan sun story.
i had something longer i wanted to post. about goals, dreams and about politics, but then my computer lost it during a "blue screen of death" and i had to reboot the computer, losing my work. argh.
until next time...
