Weekend Recap

It's funny how smoke can hide the real smell of the bar. Since the smoking ban, we haven't been back to BCs until Friday night when Lance got booked to play dubstep. At first I thought it was coming from the DJ booth but I realized after a while that it was everywhere! The place smelled like ass and fart. It was HORRIBLE. I almost missed the smell of cigarettes. Almost.

The good news from the place was that I broke even playing slots.

Saturday was a gorgeous day and we ended up going downtown and walking along the waterfront with Jon. It was a nice walk. Everyone and their dog was out. It was awesome. Later when we were trying to find Mt. Tabor to walk some more, Lance suggested we got to the casino that night. I've always wanted to go so of course I said, "Yes, let's do it."

We drove back to Aloha and dropped Dixie off at the house then we drove to Grande Ronde, which is by McMinnville. It was pretty dark when we got there, it was almost 8pm. We played a few slots and got in line for the buffet which was pretty good.

Casinos have no sense of time. The parking lot is almost always full and the place is packed with people. It seemed like the later into the night we were there, the more people there were. There were a lot of Asian people, mostly Viet, but I overheard some Hmong speech here and there.

I did pretty well. On one slot game, the first spin got me 10 free spins and in the middle of that, I got another 10 free spin. I cashed out at $30, I should have played for longer but...oh well. Next time, I think I'll stick with one or two machines and insert more money. I lost some money very fast at a few machines because I didn't know what the heck I was doing and just wasn't paying attention.

All in all, it was a great night. We got blazed before and then after dinner. We grabbed a drink from the bar and we hope to go back after the night club is open. Lance is thinking of seeing if they need a DJ. It would be good money and I don't mind hanging out at the casino all night either.

We drove back home at around 1:30 and got home an hour later. It was a good night.

Sunday, we slept in and after making brunch, I got ready to go shopping. Before I left, Lance told me to think color when I browsed the racks. It's because I usually tend to go for darker tone clothes. I came back with a multi-blue tunic and brown shirt. A gray pencil skirt. Two pairs of flip-flops. A khaki pants. Black yoga pants. Two tanks tops (black and cream).

It looks like this year's prom color is going to be neon colors. Barf! Loud bright colors are not something I'm totally into. I'm into the classic styles and neutral colors because they go with everything and it never goes out of style. Black and earth tones will always be in. Another thing about the mall, I hate the mall. Aside from the crowds, it's the type of people in the crowd. All teeny boppers, girls with too much make-up and boys with their pants down too low trying to hit on each other and play coy. How disgusting. It made me wonder if I was the same and on hindsight, I rarely ever walked around the mall for fun and on the occassions that I did get roped into it, I really don't know what is so fun about it. I remember being bored and spending too much money.

When I came home, the door was wide open and there were garbage bags in front of the trash bin. I asked Lance and James what was going on and during the few hours that I was gone, they hired the local bum to take our cans back. For the first load, they collected $15 from him and told him that the second load, he can just take all the money from the cans. As collateral, they held onto his tent which he just purchased that day.

In addition to this, the TV was turned towards the door and the music was on really loud because "we were outside and wanted to listen to music." The TV was promptly returned to its place, I closed the open window and the door. We had two other people over and I got to take a bite of out a VERY large Sugar Daddy. I haven't had a sugar daddy since I was a kid.

Last night we also made a roasted chicken dinner. It was awesome! It tasted so good. Gravy from scratch and mashed potatoes with garlic.
