:: Sunday, August 31, 2003 :: :: Monday, August 25, 2003 :: :: Tuesday, August 19, 2003 :: :: Saturday, August 16, 2003 :: After having spent last weekend in Las Vegas, the first couple of days back was an interesting study in contrast in that one has to adjust to returning to a city that has... what’s the word I'm looking for... ah yes... laws. Not to say Vegas doesn't have laws but you wouldn't find laws specifying zoning ordinances regarding legalized prostitution in say, Brea. Speaking of which, in reference to the latest ads stating "what happens in Vegas staysin Vegas", how sad is it that I spent all that time there and yet, had all that stuff I actually could write about? How pathetic is that? I mean, all that alcohol (for me anyway) and I didn’t even get a buzz. Though I might have esperienced a contact high while walking around outside. Or maybe I was just getting light-headed from the heat. I dunno.:: Tuesday, August 12, 2003 :: It’s been a good ten years since my last trek out to Las Vegas and I was curious as to see how much it’s changed. Well, it’s brighter, flashier, and a bit more gaudy. And I enjoyed almost every minute I was there. (I’ll explain the “almost” later on.):: Friday, August 08, 2003 :: In about two two hours, I'm gonna be leaving for Las Vegas. Vegas baby Vegas!!! :):: Monday, August 04, 2003 :: Most of you know I'm trying to get into art school. One of the schools requires an interview or, if the proximity to the campus is prohibitive, an interview video. They have a list of questions on their site for applicants to answer. Questions ranging from "which program are you applying for?" to "tell us your favorite movies/books/commercials and why." So last week a buddy of mine came over and helped me film this thing. I would have preferred to do the interview but I don't have the time to fly out to Miami. That and I tend to be rather camera shy. Be it still or video, I don't like to be filmed.:: Friday, August 01, 2003 :: Having just completed my latest book, Tom Clancy's "The Bear and the Dragon" - all 1137 pages worth - after going through a series of his books earilier in the year; "Debt of Honor," "Executive Order", and "Rainbow Six" I have to say, I'm really tired. It never occured to me that reading could be such a strenuous ordeal. Or maybe I'm just getting old and my brain is breaking down in a manner similar to that of my body after a rigorous day of sports.
