58 days and counting

Mood - groggy beyond all reason
Happy thought - origami

Last night in Vegas. Suuuuuper tired. My roommate turned 21 at midnight, but two of the three of us are pretty sick, so we didn't do much of anything.

We went out in the hotel after midnight to go to a bar to get her a drink, but most of them were ridiculously expensive. So, after about an hour of walking, we decided to have a cosmo sent up to our room.

Yeah, there was kind of a lot of vodka in that. My roommate had like two sips, I drank maybe 1/3 and her fiance downed the rest. Between being totally exhausted from our trip and the fact that none of us drink and therefore have no tolerance whatsoever, the alcohol pretty much made us pass out immediately.

We didn't even gamble. Although, we hit the arcades all day that day. We probably dropped $50 between the three of us. We just went from hotel to hotel playing in arcades. It was sweet. And, let me tell you, my roommate cleaned up. She hit a couple of jackpots and won several hundred tickets.

The downside, of course, to arcades (as opposed to casinos) is that you win STUFF, not necessarily money. Then you have to carry the stuff around with you all day. And, naturally, all the stuff is super stupid and cheap and you probably could have gone somewhere to buy all of it and spend half as much money as you spent playing the games in the first place.

But we had fun, so that's what's important.
