finally played at a mid-south casino. overall, yuck. small, crappy rules and odds. for example, at a $5 blackjack table, if you play more than one spot, your minimum bet has to be $10 each spot. Huh?
oh, and those famous casino buffets? make sure to try 'em... in vegas and atlantic city.
oh, and g-d forbid that two employees talking and laughing about some personal conversation should interrupt their day to answer a question.
got to watch a blackjack player get a pair of K's, SPLIT THEM (no, really, i was there!!), get another K, SPLIT THEM AGAIN, and lose all three hands. yeah, i lost about $50 playing too, but geez....
started (well, restarted) and finished a book by Carl Hiaasen. pretty good actually, although there was a couple of things about it i didn't like. there was an obvious plot device about a guy and his woman boss. i knew from the beginning where that was going. the kicker was that they were 19 years apart in age. gimme a break - not in the real world. actually had to put the thing down for a while. but he's adoringly curmudgeonly and she's young and sexy and ultimately they find each other. but it is fiction, after all.
hoped all weekend that B would think about the things i'd talked to her about on friday. tried not to obsess about her all weekend. watched sadly as yet another weekend passed without her even trying to call.
cross another week off the calendar. the future gets closer with every weekend and every evening that passes without hearing from her. it's only been almost two years since she'd try calling me on the weekend. think i'll figure it out soon?
time, life, reality marches on.
