Las Vegas!

Adam — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 01:37:14 +0000

My cousin is getting married, so I’m in Las Vegas for today and tomorrow. The last time I was here was 2001 for the USC vs. Utah game. Despite the construction along the strip, we walked from Mandalay Bay up to the Bellagio.

I’ve never been to Vegas with friends–only with family. This is no exception. My father is sick with the flu, and my mother, being my mother, feeds off the negativity of his illness. During the entire time from when we arrived at the hotel (1pm or so) until now (5:30pm), she couldn’t stop talking about anything and everything she could think of–from new hotels, smoking, tattoos, the M&M store, funny looking people…ugh.

Anyway–I can’t wait to come back here WITHOUT the family. I think the experience would be much better.

Delicious Cake

Nothing’s better at a birthday party than a good cake.

Well, aside from good friends, of course

And yes, this picture was posted without their permission. If they don’t like it, I’ll have to censor their faces out. That’ll be interesting…

Happy Singles’ Awareness Day!

Adam — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 00:54:40 +0000

It’s been a long while since I’ve celebrated Valentine’s Day. As I recall, it was back in 2002, and at Ruth’s Chris. That relationship ended rather badly.

So today’s schedule involved going to bed at 4:00am, and waking up at 11:00am. I love weekends.

On a totally separate note: this is the first posting on my new blog. I’m going to try to keep it as up-to-date as possible. And yes, I know I’ve had a blog before, and no, I’m not going to link to the old posts. This is a clean slate. We’ll see how it goes.
