April 29, 2007

Reportable doings are sparse

There isn't much noteworthy going on. Well, the noteworthy shit is insane shit so I won't even admit it because it's too crazy.

The schoolyear is almost over and I'm not going to pretend that I'm not glad. It's been a long one. Summer will be a welcome respite.

I did go gamble in Louisiana with some friends the other day. It was surreal. I rode on a bus. That was uncomfortable, I don't mind telling you.

Then after we had entered and exited the casino multiple times, the security dude stopped one of my friends and made her give up her backpack and then made her turn it in at the hotel front desk. All the rest of us had backpacks, but he only picked on her. We were pissed, but her Mom was highly insulted and decided to launch her own investigation. She went past this guy repeatedly with each of our backpacks to see if he would stop her. He did not. So she stopped finally and yelled "AH HAAAAA!" in his face and demanded an explanation as to why he had singled out her daughter. He gave her some lame assed explanation about "since 9/11 we do that randomly.
Yeah because terrorists are often women in a group wandering around a freakin' second rate casino in Shreveport, Louisiana playing slots. Getting rid of THAT place would send a message LOUD AND FUCKING CLEAR to whoever.
We ate a craptastic nasty assed buffet, then we gamled for a little while longer (I did win about 200 bucks.) and then we got back on this damned bus that played "Blood Diamond" at top volume on the little individual movie screens. Problem
1: I've already seen it.
2. Leonardo DiCaprio should never attempt accents. He sucks at it.
3. IT WAS FUCKING LOUD AS HELL.
4. We all wanted to sleep.
5. No individual volume controls.
6. TURN THE STUPID THING OFF, ASSHAT!
7. We were GOSSIPING!!!!!

We didn't get home until almost midnight. It was me, some of my coworkers who are all approximately my age, we are of a couple of different races, but besides us, it was a bus of African American old people. It was awesome.
