saturday: woke up late...headed towards downtown vegas to get some hawaiian food...but decided against it when we got there...returned the rental car and got a ride back to the hotel...put a whole $5 in a slot machine and cashed out at $14.50...up $9.50 baby...w00t...met up car #1 and car #2 (kristin.steph.tommie.scott.ryan) at bellagio buffet...paid for lunch...stayed for dinner =P napped for a bit...got ready to go clubbing and met in room #1 for more drinking...headed downstairs to le cafe for some happy hour drinks...then took a limo to hard rock's body language...thanx to kristin...no line...no cover...w00t...dance drink sit dance watch sit leave...good times =) went to eat with car #2 at le cafe...knocked out

sunday: woke up late again...everyone left already...wait an hour for paris champagne brunch...chilled in the sports book...i wasnt feeling too well...=\ bleh...airport...back home =) =) =)

so just when i post that...2 cards come in that are vertically folded...the best answer i got was that people like to hang christmas cards on strings...like laundry...so the only way to do that is if theyre horizontally folded...good one brian =)

so in a few hours im off to VEGAS =) how exciting...i hope this trip is better than the last...at least im going with my friends this time...w00t!

so yesterday the irvine girls came over and we drew names for our secret santa gift exchange...each of us had to list 5-10 things that we wanted...i could think of like...2 things...why am i so boring?...haha

what i really need is a digital camera...maybe that'll be my christmas present to myself...no...i bought these super expensive shoes yesterday...theyre pretty though =) i like shoes =) theres also a $50 doggies clock that i want...but thats sorta pricey...for awhile i wanted an ipod...but then i realized i wouldnt really use it at all...so no go on that either...so in the end...

all i really want is: **usc license plate frame**,buru buru stuff, or ***secret santa*** cheap-o skater shoes...the whole scarf, mitten, socks thing is fine too =)

<yawn>

random thought of the day:

so at work we're getting all these chirstmas cards from various companies...

why are all christmas cards folded horizontally?

i have yet to see a vertically folded christmas card

thats it =)

i think my ears are still ringing from the concert...heehee

so i dled night 2 last night just to see...compare...it SUCKED...i only watched the first half though...the 2nd half should be better...=) it was to the point where i was laughing because it was so terrible...but then it may just be because it was recorded...someone find me night 1 so i can compare =P

went to honda ya...mmm...sake...mmm...those salmon rice ball things...=) ghost stories, robbins brothers vs "your killing me larry", fried icecream/snickers(the OC!)/cream/etc, drucken waitersr and more beer, pregnant men, gas prices, pager codes, getting old (hilary vs lindsey), dh vs satc...past/present/future...lots of laughs...=)

j: i'd give up sex for usc football

look at that...i love usc football! people that dont go to a school with this much spirit just dont understand...its the greatest thing ever...and impossible not to get sucked into it if you have any sort of...soul...lol...FIGHT ON!!!

a bit old...but perfectly describes how i feel:

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete
Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?

This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?

perfectly...

adding on to the last entry:

b: so i have this friend
b: and she's very cute
b: she has a HUGE rack
b: and she's dating this guy that went to usc
b: she went to ucla
b: and he always talks trash
b: the last three years, nothing but talk trash
b: and it was really annoying her
b: and she has told him, "if you don't shut up we won't have sex"
b: and that would make him talk trash even more!
bh: and they wouldn't have sex
b: he would rather go on and on about usc and norm chow and all that jazz rather than have sex with a very cute girl with a huge rack
