i’m going to class anyway. haha.

 

i’m in the current pai gow/mini bac class. it pays to just show up haha. of course, it wasn’t that easy. once amy realized i wasn’t on the list, she had to make calls, then i had to walk to the casino to talk to someone in scheduling to make sure it was ok for me to be in the class – cuz there were people ahead of me on the list blahblahblah. sat there for a half hour for her to tell me, yeah it’s ok you go to this one. walked back to the school for the rest of class. it’s good tho, cuz i would have missed 4 or 5 days of class if i had to take the one at the end of the month, beginning of august….of course now that fishy broke her foot and dunno if she’s coming up/if we’ll be doing extended exploring, i might not miss more than 1 day (for ozzfest)…whatever. just wanna get it done now and finish.

last night was de ja vu. i had the same table as saturday night, same supervisor as saturday night. after they closed my table i was sent to the high limit room. that was fine, except for frank looking over my shoulder the entire 2 hours i was there, and telling me what a certain blackjack pay out was, cuz i hesititated when cutting it out…thanks. i could have figured it out if you had given me a moment.

so tonight i’m expecting let it ride, which means i sign the early out list. but we’ll see. maybe they’ll surprise me. i’m so tired already tho, stupid 13 hour days again. and now i don’t even get to sit down for my entire shift like before when i was in class. oh well. i’ll live. definitely have to save my days off and not make too many plans, so i can grocery shop and do laundry and crap. i think tony and i were gonna go to the casino wed tho…dunno.

dropped by eric’s party in the afternoon. chatted, played euchre, ate and ran…through the downpour. got wet, wrecked my hair so it was in my face and bugging me all night. oh well.

went to eat with tony after work. sat at dennys for 3.5 hrs haha. it was great.

i think it’s bed time now.

turns out i don’t have to start dealer school again monday….too many people wanted to go to class, so they had to break it into two, and i didn’t make the cut this time around. seems like they kept ppl who knew more than one game out of the first class. second class starts july 28th…which seriously interferes with early august plans…going to possibly miss class(es) when fishy comes to visit (i forget which days she is coming), going to miss class for ozzfest…sucks. i might just follow through with my plan to learn pai gow on my own, and take the mini bacarrat class at the school – that way it might not interfere with plans. oh well.

got out early. work sucked. got screwed off roulette again. arg. it’s 2 weeks now without getting wheel time. grrr. going to see if i can cash in on my favor that scheduling office owes me next friday, try to get off since gotta get up early on saturday.

now that i don’t have to start school, i don’t gotta get shit done tomorrow. that’s good at least.

and wow  nin.com was updated finally – with more annoying shit, but still…there is action and movement. does new site = new material?? one can only hope

ut oh, bad sabres news…they traded rhett warrener…poor adrienne, i wonder how she’s taking it – or if she even knows yet.

 

morning. er wait its 7pm never mind.

went to ikea today. bought myself a birthday gift – a rug for the living room. spent 160 cnd there. bought a cool mirror for my room, and a hanging chinese lantern light. and place mats for the kitchen table we were going to buy until they were out of it. so still no kitchen table. good times tho. next time we have to take the wagon – the kitchen table and chairs wouldn’t have fit in my car, esp not with the rug.

i keep forgetting i start classes again monday for work…ah the return of the 13 hour days…it’s gonna suck hella bad. i want to get some shit done this weekend now, since i won’t have time to do much of anything for the next 3 weeks. i wanted to do some web site work, so i gotta actually wake up at a decent hour and do shit, make an appearance at eric’s bbq before work, and get shit done. blah. once again, i’ll say “Get shit done” hehe.

oh yeah happy 4th. any one else find it weird we didn’t hear anything about friendship fest this year? or maybe it’s just me not hearing about it.

i hate the town of niagara. going to aldis, sat at the light at millitary and porter for 10 minutes. finally was the 3rd car in the turning lane. the green arrow is about 3 seconds long, so i went through it as it changed from yellow to red. i got pulled over…by one of the 5 cop cars sitting in the sunoco station on the corner. yep, a nice ticket for going through a red light. wtf. so i dunno what to do, if i should mail it in, or go to court or what… fucking cops.

then i get a postcard from office max that my rebate i sent in wasnt eligible for the rebate promotion…BUT IT WOULD BE NICE IF THEY TOLD ME WHAT FUCKING PRODUCT IT WAS!

1. watched the “new” jewel video for “intuition” (i think)….and it’s really funny. cuz it’s obviously poking fun at all the britney clones, and current music/music videos. but i still don’t get what’s going on with her. it’d be great and funny if the video was the end of her looking like a whore…but she’s continued the look, as if to extend the joke…but it’s not working. she just looks like a sell out, while the whole time she’s singing about selling out and shit. eh i don’t even know what i’m saying. the video is hella funny tho.

2. “st anger” is just a terrible terrible song. and it’s about 4 minutes too long.

3. i try not to like linkin park, but they are ok…but i realized i’m growing out of that whole “scene”…cuz any time i hear one of their new songs, or staind or whoever…it’s so cliched it makes me laugh. but wtf am i supposed to listen to now if i don’t identify with all that…. adult contemporary?!?!  trent needs to come and save music (again).

4. had an emergency doctor appt this morning, because i woke up to allergic reactions to my new meds. webmd.com said SEEK EMERGENCY MEDICAL HELP IF…*lists my symptoms*…so called the dr, they said to come in so they could give me stuff to counteract it. they didn’t, since it was only my lips that were swollen, not my throat, and i could still breathe lol. she gave me steroids to reduce the swelling, but it’s already gone down so i don’t think i’m going to start taking them tomorrow. and then she gave me new meds, sulfa (?) drugs, to try instead of what she put me on, on monday…watch me get bad reactions to that, since it’s pretty common to be allergic to that too. ug. at least i didn’t have to pay for her services today.

5. getting dark, so it’s off to the terminal with my nite film again.

 

i don’t understand myself. i don’t understand how i can go someplace a bunch of times yet not know how to get there and/or get lost getting there every time. i’ve finally established the correct, efficient way to get to central terminal once i’m on the east side. but apparently i can’t get to the east side anymore lol. went down there with adr to photo the terminal…went the wrong way on the 33…how, i dont know, cuz thats the only way i know how to get there. ended up at the airport, having to turn around, went through a redlight cuz i couldn’t stop, almost got in an accident. back on the 33 in the correct direction, and got to the terminal. o.m.g so lovely. love you terminal haha. took half a roll, hopefully a few will turn out. gonna have to waste the rest of the roll at the falls or something.

my dad’s pics on the cable access show are on at 11. gotta tune in.

 

or my dad’s show wasn’t on…*confused*…it IS wednesday right? and it is 11 pm right…then it should be on channel 20, but it’s not. some church show is on. gonna check back at 11:30…if i miss it, russell said he’d have a copy of it. i just wanna see my dad’s pictures on tv. haha

*update*….turned the show on at 11:30 and it came on, but it was the end. oddly enough, i know the other guests who were on the show along with russell. it was this kid that i used to talk to on AOL and his friends. this kid contacted me cuz he found my site with my dad’s terminal pics on it, and we had talked for a month or so about how to scam the construction guys to get inside. since the show wasn’t really on, i dunno why they were on it…but the one kid plugged their website novim.us and i was like, that sounds super familiar. yep. it’s that kid and his friend’s site/blog. strange.

got out early tonight…signed the early out list, because i was in pit 1 again. every monday it seems. however i was on carribbean stud tonight, which is 9283498234 times better than let it ride, so i would have been ok with not being sent home early. they closed my table though, and i got to leave at 1:30. they’re making me work thursday night, of course, after i made plans for thursday. they think it’s gonna be super busy cuz of the holiday friday, so they’re making everyone who’s off come in anyway. so i’ll have 5 hours over time at least. gonna have to do the terminal night shots on wed night now, my nite film better arrive by then.

saturday is a huge ass fireworks show at the casino. biggest in the northeast apparently, could draw 50,000 ppl to the falls, according to the city. so that’ll be fun. hopefully it’ll be busy inside the casino as well, cuz i need some money lol. fone bill came today, 95 fucking dollars, and apparently grand island is long distance. gotta call them about that tomorrow. might end up cancelling the phone, and going with a cell phone only after all, but we’ll see. what a hassel tho, after telling everyone the apt phone, going and changing it all again.

5 min before i left work yesterday, the cops showed up…i was like um, why are there cops at my door? they were asking for someone named james, a previous resident. what the hell kind of criminal used to live in my apt?!?!?

work was work…blackjack for the 3rd day in a row, then roulette to close out my night. nothing spectacular. had to get up this morning and go to the skin dr, way too early, so came back and went to sleep again til 3 ish. eric dropped by for a bit, and now it’s time to start eating and getting ready for work again.

well…birthday came and went, half of it spent at work. and it didn’t get me any good tips, blah. last weeks check sucked major ass.

soo…friday i went to dinner at the parents house, but my dad had to stay at work to fix major problems at the power plant. they also got me a vaccuum, and tools, and other random stuff. worked that night, 9 – 5 sucked…i was so tired and i was the only 9-5er who didn’t get to leave early. i totally wanted to leave too, lose the hour, cuz i was so tired and didn’t feel good. so i slept most of today. got up when the grandparents called, went back to sleep, got up when aunt carol called, went back to sleep. finally forced myself to get up and cook at 5, so i could get ready for work. was talked into going to this preview night at a new private club that is opening in niagara falls. it’s being run by 2 casino people. i’m not sure if it’s only open to casino people or not, but it’s 30$ a month for membership, they have gym equipment, rooms, lounge, bars, etc…might be worth it if i worked out ever, or was extremely social, but i’m not. one drink ended up as 1 beer and 2 shots, so i stayed longer than i was going to. ended up being told the life story of this kid nate who i went to high school with (younger than me though), post high school…how he met and fell in love with his fiancee, and how him and his twin bro are nothing alike blahblahblah. which is fine, but like…ug it just reminded me of my nate. have i mentioned i’ve been extremely emotional about him again? i can’t talk about him at all or think about him at all without crying/almost crying. it sucks.

but wtf is with old men wanting to take me out? and i’m talking like, twice my age men, and not 12 years older than me men *ahem*…lol this one dealer at work was asking how it’s possible that i don’t have a boyfriend, and how he’d take me out if he wasn’t old enough to be my father lol.

whatever. i should try to go to sleep now, so i don’t sleep the day away again. i can’t see out my windshield, i’m out of squirts, and i need gas so i need to be awake for at least part of the afternoon before work.

oh yeah, APC is doing european tour dates with the deftones…i wonder if that means a “passenger” guest appearance, cuz that would fucking rock, and besides having to go see APC by themselves, i’d def have to go see them with deftones incase they did that song. i’d die. haha

and oh yeah, i talked to russell yesterday. he’s using my dad’s photos of the terminal on some cable access show. he’s going to let me know the details, but i thought that was way cool. maybe my dad will get famous from all this haha.

so last night was the outing for my birthday…in the afternoon i did laundry, eric came by the house and waited, then we headed back to my apt to get adr. she had a girl from work with her, who went to the finger eleven show with us. got there after they had started, eric and the girl (also named sarah) ventured into the crowd, and adr and i stayed back on the sidewalk cuz it was way too friggen hot. after their set, we headed to spot for cold coffee and stuff. drove the girl home, and went to go photography. well…the lights weren’t on the terminal when we got there around 10ish, took some pics anyway, then headed to bob – who is lit every day. that was way cool. i had only really driven by it at night lit up, so it was neat seeing it up close. walked around the fence again, quickly passed the nurses quarters lol. and adr and eric were impressed so that was cool. went and got amanda, and back to the apt to chill and drink and yeah. danielle came over around midnight, so did tony. drank more, walked to dennys at like 3 am, everyone left except tony, he left around 5, when i was about to pass out standing up hahaha. yeah, sooo wasted. haven’t drank that much in a while. tony got educated on the major childhood moments of me and eric…commander tom and the clowns play. we didn’t watch all of clowns, just mine and eric’s song. hahah. i think he got a kick out of it.

but i’m still up fairly early, wish i wasn’t. gotta clean up the mess now hehe

and oh yeah, since it was my bday and all..eric and amanda gave us wine glasses, wine charms and….a bottle of wine lol. adr found me a big picture frame that fits 4 4×5 pics, so i can finally frame my dad’s terminal pics when i get them back from russell. yay. i guess i’m going to my parents place tonight for dinner, and gifts, before work. oh and i got a dvd in the mail and was like…i’ve bought alot of crap from ebay lately, but i know i didn’t buy a dvd. it was bill and ted’s excellent adventure, from ty. very nice surprise. thx everyone.
