from the bathroom floor to "two-fiddy" at black jack
I think the title says it all, but I'll fill in some details. Me and my peeps went to Vegas for our regular (about once a quarter in the past) trip. All was going fairly well, although I wasn't winning anything. After a particularly frustrating Craps session I decided I wanted to play Black Jack for the first time ever. I lost twenty bucks before I knew what was happening, but I hung in there and with a little help from my friend Ted I was able to get the basics down. Ted left and I continued to play and made some new friends, most notable Mark from Costa Mesa. Anyhow, as anyone who has been to Vegas knows there is a pretty constant flow of free drinks, especially when you are playing table games, so I kind of forgot myself and got really drunk. This was not helped by the fact that I had somehow managed to eat nothing for the entire day (I was trying to save myself for a fancy buffet on the strip). I somehow managed to stagger back to the hotel room, got sick and passed out on the bathroom floor. I managed to move my self to the bed and slept for a few hours while my friends went and got dinner (I joined them breifly before realizing I needed to sleep a little longer). When I awoke the second time my friends were there and preparing to go back out, so I joined them. Long story short I gambled until I only had $25 left, but I then had an uncontrollable urge to play some more Black Jack. So, I went and watched my friend John play some slots and then we both headed over to the Golden Gate to play some Black Jack. I sat down, exchanged my last $20 ( I held $5 dollars back so I that I could go home with something in my pocket) into 4 $5 dollar chips, and proceeded to play Black Jack until 3am. When it was all said and done I had turned the $20 into two hundred and fifty dollars. Unfortunately, I'm afraid this was beginners luck, but I enjoyed it all the same. A mere 24hours later my radio show "Girls Grow Up Faster" premiered on KCSB. Oh, and did I mention that I'm getting free internet from my new wireless card? Sometimes, life is good and yes, I may have a problem.

Life in SB
I just got of the phone with swallis, Susan Fahey to some of you. Sounds like she's doing well, although, as expected, very tired. It's hard to belive that swallis is a mother. It seems like just yesterday when everyone thought we had a drinking problem during our Senior year of high school. At the risk of sounding cliche, oh how time flies...
We are just finishing the first week of spring quarter. It's still kind of Spring Break for me, as my tutoring job doesn't start until next week and I spent my actual Spring Break on jury duty and grading.
I found a new roommate, another guy, which is surprising to me, but it seems to be working out okay. No weird psycho incidents...yet. I guess the most interesting and exciting news for me, is that I have a radio show on KCSB FM 91.9 in Santa Barbara next quarter. The bad news is that I have to pay my dues, so the show is from 4am to 6am Monday morning. I hope I don't get addicted to crank like David Silver. The good news is that with the time change those of you who get up relatively early can catch me on our web cast. It should be interesting.
