it can’t be. someone must have made a mistake in scheduling. i was on roulette tonight. my very own table. on a saturday. i wasn’t in pit 3. holy crap. tonight was great. my table was kicking all night. i had all colors out, and value on the inside (i know none of you know what that means). it was fabulous. was on my game til about 2:30, then sent to reassignment, and pit 3. of course. tomorrow i’m 7-3 which should be a roulette shift…2 nights in a row!?!?!?!? could it really happen?! we’ll find out in the next installment…

but yeah, work was pretty great tonight. i was on breaks with good people too. brendan invited me to the puerto rico fest…someplace in buffalo…tomorrow, but no can do. how the hell many fests are going on this week/weekend…cAnal fest, italian fest, and puerto rican fest?! i don’t think this area can handle all those fest at one time.

oh yeah did i mention the other fish died? yeah. it did.

i should get to bed. set the alarm for 11:30 incase i happen to sleep that late, i still have time to brush my hair and get to walmart to meet brian and jasen. lol.

i’m home. i called in sick. home from the urbex-ing with a ginormous headache that made me want to find a sawed off shot gun and blow my brains out. i knew that by 7 it would probably be gone – 3 excedrin and 2 prescription pain killers later – but that gave me no time to get ready for work etc. so i ruined my perfect attendance. no big deal. i’m not going to the party tonight, even tho it’ll be tons of fun, and i’ll be disappointing millions – ok, not millions, maybe 2. it provokes cognitive dissonance for me to go to the party but not go into work. plus i’d have to shower. ah well. it really was one of the worst headaches i’ve had in a while, if not ever.

the urbexing went well. i currently have a civil defense emergency drinking water steel drum in my trunk. we were really successful i think. hit the sanborn vacant air force site, the deveaux (which i heard people talk about that niagara falls neighborhood and always thought it was spelled devoe) park – where viewmobiles go to die, and the buff ave building across from our employee parking lot. way friggen cool. 4 and a half film rolls later…i need to find something to do with the last of the 5th roll tho, so i can take them in wednesday to get developed, along with my 2 nite shot rolls. maybe i’ll take pics of the apt, since the parents said the grandparents would probably like to see. and there is a farm down the street with a semi broken silo that i’ve been meaning to photograph, and the cows, so if there is a day before wednesday next week when it doesn’t rain, i’ll get that done too.

i need to do something with that drum. get it out of my trunk at least, before shit hatches and infests my car. i should probably just get it outside for a while, but dunno what the other tenants might think lol. it definitely needs to be hosed down and scrubbed before it comes inside to become an end table. we found some real nice intact good condition ones – that were filled with trash, in one building, but this one is worse for wear a bit. bri also found an little emergency drinking water can for me. yay for souvies. oh, and a tin that used to be full of emergency biscuits was found in the buff ave site…but only one package was left, and you couldn’t really read the writing on the tin. did i say only one package was left? yeah, you couldn’t pay me enough to eat one of the survival biscuits. well you could probably pay me enough, but it’d take alot. and more than anyone i know has to offer haha.

brian gave me a lens for my pentax camera, he said it was a zoom – but it doesn’t zoom in and out like you think a normal camera lens would (of course, i could be a moron and not know how to use it), but it definitely magnifies everything more than the other lens i use tho. i’m think the moron part might be accurate tho haha.

i need to cook something before my headache comes back. maybe soup would be good. and easy.
