Some Kindof Week

I took a week off from the internet world, to just remain focus on my offline life and this is what I have to show for it:

New Job at Astro World, orientation is tomorrow, and it's a Usher position so I'll be working with (slightly with) all the cool people in the Entertainment department, which rocks because I'm already at the parties anyways, now I can say I OFFICIALLY belong there! Leaving DJ as the only non payrolled employee... non payroll because he is contract. So Rock On with that.

Most of the surface walls are primed and ready for the magic to begin where the remodeling of the house is concerned. Most of the Syle Stone is in place and set designs have been for 2 1/2 rooms - all but the accent stuff. And for R's room, were trying to find that fine line between Fine and Elegant Romance and PIMP. That could take a while. And if we could only decide on which color palette to attack the bathroom with, the votes are - Black And White, Industrial and The Original Maroon and Faded Mint Green. Which ever wins, I'm responsible for making most of it come into reality.
oh happy day.

Gandalf - the parrot - is now fully mimicking sounds.

And a recent trip to LA for some Casino Action, turned up the fact that I might be capable of getting through a few rounds of Black Jack on the winning end If I can only ignore everyone else.

Ya'See it kind of went like this...

DJ to the right, instructing me with his take on the hand. Me, of course trying to recall all that I had learned on the drive there - while searching my gut feelings. Then to the left of me, two seats over, some 40 year old trying To coach me through - like honestly who asked her? And I mean I could have lived with it and continued on just trying to be nice, with my best face forward, but when another 20-something College boy sat down between the 40 year old and I, she felt the need to ask him

"Do You Know How To Play?" And When He Answered "Yes, Why?" She replied. "Good, teach her, she needs the help!"

I admit I was on a down slide, but that's kind of how it is - you win some you lose some. And earlier I was winning and I understood enough of the game to probably go back up, I mean it was a five Dollar table, not like were talking life savings here. Anyways, that was the final straw, I stood up, took 5 bucks with me , giving the rest back to DJ and continued to play slots. What Can I say it's a pet peeve. The One thing that really gets me, people trying to help me when I really don't need it... I mean yeah I'm still learning the game, but I have my boyfriend right there helping me, I had his friend helping me on the way there - and I know they are good, hell in two nights they brought back a total of like 2,000 dollars. I was relieved later to find out the 40 year old had her fair share of losses and walked away not much better off then when she sat down - if at all.

What can I say? Again the Gambler and The Drinker.

All just practice at home, so next time I can hopefully avoid such pushy 'elders'.

Cheers Darlings'
