like everyone, or at least one person, i'm surprised i didn't blog more about how i was having the time of my life stateside. pictures paint a thousand words though and here is one of my fave holiday snaps at the sahara casino in vegas as i cash in my one dollar slots win.

gambling rules. i also won big on roulette. naturally i have called this photo high roller. anyway, i don't think i have ever been more excited. and that includes when i saw ricki martin.

you know what i missed about wellington? the people. you know what i didn't miss? nearly everything else. interesting.

this has been compounded since my return as seeing or talking to my friends has been outtasight and everything else has been foodpoisoning. i need to find a way to be on vacation all the time. and all i can come up with is professional gambler. even though before i went i away i was ideologically opposed to gambling, i'm seriously considering this new profession. naturally it would include playing the stock market. cos that is just gambling in business suits. as opposed the tuxedos i will be wearing at the roulette wheel.

oh my god i will need a new wardrobe for this profession. sign me up.

one of the first things i did when i got back to wellington was buy six new coat hangers. it is not enough. i need about six more. i bought more than i thought.

my coat hanger of choice? the five dollar fifty three pack from the warehouse. thanks to mommy dearest i can't use wire coat hangers.

mommy dearest was only ten dollars on dvd in the states. and it came with special features. but i can't seem to make my laptop play like a multizone dvd player. so i didn't buy it. this is one of my life regrets.

my other regret is not trying to hook in to the sinatra impersonator at the greek isles casino. he was so unbelievably adorable. ADORABLE.

and life highlight was getting a photo with elvis by trent carlini. IMPERSONATORS RULE. and there are lots of them in vegas. where i will move to become a professional gambler. it will be like heaven on earth.
