i RULE

$9300 at blackjack yesterday. makes up for my shitty paychecks and the aforementioned $2000 cup of starbucks.

a $2000 cup of starbucks

this is not my year. i was at the starbucks on route 7 near the exxon station. i swear i looked behind me and didn't see anyone coming, but i backed right into an oncoming beetle convertible. its at least $1500 of damage to her car, and i need a new bumper cover, which is $725.

i should have stayed home today.

water

so i ended up leaving atlantic city a day early because of this goddamned storm that blessed washington dc. i was doing really well, and ended up winning about $3500. the table that i was at was great and i was pissed that i had to leave early. anyway, its a good thing i did. i got home last night to see water pouring down my street.

there was a fucking water main break. we. have. no. water.

washington suburban says it will be back on by 3 or 4. bastards.

so...

im in new jersey visiting family. i took a few days off after the class from hell last week. yesterday i was in delaware at my brother and sister-in-laws house. im at moms now, heading to lakewood to visit my aunt and uncle. after that im going to head to atlantic city, im going to be there for a couple of days.

apparently we might have a snowstorm or something on tuesday, that might throw my plans off. my car is horrible in the snow and i need to make sure that im home before it hits.

it was a pretty decent drive up here. i got the david sedaris box set of his audio books. ive never been a fan of audiobooks, but as hilarious as his stuff is, its even funnier to hear him read it. i saw him read at lisner auditorium a few years ago, and the audio books are just as funny. i laughed most of the way here.

i'll let you know if i win this time in a/c.

Misery

So I'm in finance school this week, and im stuck at a shitty hotel in Herndon (that i had to pay for). The class is 10 hours a day and incredibly intensive. They even video tape you. Tonight I have 4 hours of homework and I have to memorize a 2 page interview. Seeing as I have no short term memory these days, I'm kinda thinking this isn't going to work out to well.

I'm bored and lonely in this craphole hotel.
