Vegas Trip

Thanks carolee. Everybody Xanga's these days. I want to leave comments but can't cuz i'm not a member.. doh. I'm so used to blogger it's hard to change.

On my way to pick up James on Sunday.. or rather drop him off.. i noticed my car being really slow getting out of the drive way. It seemed as if i had the E-Brake on or something. I drove a few feet - and decided to check it out, only to find the right rear tire almost deflated. I got to the gas station and put some air into it.. and hose it down with water and hear a hissing noise. DOH.. it's a flat. At first i thought it was my neighbors hating on me by just deflating the tires thru the air hole.. but when i took off the tire at James' house it was a big fat nail.

I've been riding on it with that nail and low air pressure for a few weeks now that i think about it. Maybe about 2 weeks or so. Cuz i usually get about 300 miles per tank of gas.. and i've been only getting about 240. I thought it was something to do with my intake and filter.. or my fuel injectors but it wasn't. Riding on low pressure tires sags your car and uses up more gas. It's like trying to peddle a bike with flat tires. I should have noticed it when coming home on fri, cuz on the freeway, the rear right tire was making a little bit of noise during lane changes.. as if the divide pots were hitting the rim.

I went to try and patch it up.. but i was riding on low pressure for too long, and the inner wall of the tire was pretty shredded up. The rims pretty much ate everything. So i had to get a new tire. Bleh..

I lost my camera.. Had to get new tires. Lost some money doing this and that.. Had to pay a grip for tuition. I'm going bankrupt. I have never felt so empty as far as financial security. I need to think of something fast.. i don't think i will last this entire spring at the rate i'm going right now.

Went to Vegas for a few days with friends. Some other ppl i know went and had fun.. so i figured i should have fun too. We checked out most of the major casino's.. Bellagio, Palms, Venitian, Paris.. etc. We ate some really good buffet at the MGM called the "Grand Buffet" which was great. We just ate the crabs and seafood cuz it's the most expensive thing there. I'm sure my cholesterol went thru the roof.

We tried to go to the Ghostbar @ Palms but one of my buddies wasn't dressed well enough to get in.. so we didn't get to do that. We took a cab for most of the trip cuz i didn't wanna drive and park. I think that's the best way to do it in Vegas.. just take a plane and cab it everywhere. Although we took a car, the 3 hour drive isn't worth it unless your taking a huge van. James was really uncomfortable in the back seat. I swear my car is a 2 seater!

We went to Venetian and thought to ourselves that it is THE place to stay and check out if you go with a girlfriend. Very very romantic place. They have that canoe and a guy sings for you, while the two of you cuddle in a warm blanket. There's lots of shopping and Boutique's.. souvenir shops.. they have a restaurant next to the courtyard with a classical band playing mozart and bethoven in the middle. and so on..

I am thinking about going up north tomorrow.. or in a few hours. Not sure yet depending on how i feel. I'm a bit tired. I dropped off James and Simon and watched a K movie called "Classic" with Son Yeh Jin.. she's so cute!

New years resolution: I promised with Simon on this one.

1. Loose weight
2. No more or reduce going out
3. Loose weight
4. Get a better job, or a side job
5. Finish school

I guess setting some goals isn't bad.
