i broke my cardinal rule in vegas this weekend and paid the price. you do NOT gamble while sober and during daylight hours. you go in the evening and stay up all night gambling — which we did, not getting back to madilyne’s place until around 7:30am — and if i had stuck by my own better judgment i would have left up fifty instead of down fifty. blast!

definitely worth it though because it’d been over 6 months since my last night in vegas, we gave madilyne a fun birthday night out, i experienced vegas with a girlfriend for the first time (totally works if your girl is as fun as mine) and a bunch of other fun kids i normally wouldn’t go on a gambling bender with, and i saw my first sleepless vegas sunrise. also, having a nice car stereo made the ipod-heavy car ride much nicer.

the super bowl party on sunday, well… i must have had more beers and distractions than i thought, because i feel like i only watched ten actual plays of football tops, and missed several of the commercials people were talking about the next day. i also lost the whopping 22 dollar pool because the seahawks didn’t try for a field goal at the end (idiots). i guess all that grilling and hosting and having fun gets in the way of serious tv watching sometimes, but i’m mostly okay with that.

tonight i get to go see joe’s balls movie though so at least i won’t miss everything people are talking about.
