vegas day two
Mar. 12th, 2006 12:08 amSo, today. We actually didn't go to sleep until around 4am... mostly Jeff and Leclerc and I stayed up talking, Falk was up for a while too. This wouldn't be so bad if Fish hadn't called me at EIGHT FREAKING THIRTY IN THE MORNING, since he and Jacq wanted to get back from the auxiliary house. It was light out and people were up and talking a bit by then, so it was hard to get back to sleep... I sort of slept off and on until 10am, but that was about it, at which point I got up and showered and changed.
Fish and Burr cooked french toast for everyone for breakfast, and after that we pretty much all just hung out at the house all afternoon. Barrister showed up a little after 1, Tamsin showed up a bit after that, Sigil and Harrley a few hours after that. Some people played Zombies; some of us just, well, sat around and chatted.
We went to the Bellagio for buffet dinner. Most of us got really dressed up, which was pretty cool, we have a few pictures of it. The dinner was really good too -- I had lots of different stuff which was all pretty delicious, and great desserts as well. There was everything from prime rib to kobe beef to potato pancakes to pasta stuff to great seafood to sushi to... yeah. I had fabulous raspberry cheesecake for dessert, too. Yum.
After that we took some pictures by the butterfly forest thingy, and watched the Bellagio fountain show... and then some people went off to see Tom Jones, the rest of us decided to go see the hotels. We went to Paris, and unfortunately lost half our group after a few minutes in the casino area. So what ended up happening is that me and Jeff, Jay and Karen, and Chris, wandered around a bit looking for everyone, gave up, walked through Bally's, and came back to the house eventually. Jeff and Karen and I went back out, to the Strstosphere and to this gratuitously big gift shop nearby, where I got a ton of dice-related stuff, including dice earrings. They are so freaking cute you could just vomit.
It's been a good day, but I feel pretty invisible sitting around the house now -- I don't feel like drinking or playing pool or anything, but everyone is pretty much either drinking or playing pool or asleep. Oh well. Considering I didn't sleep for the last few days, I should perhaps try to go to sleep.
Also, yay, it's Jeff's birthday! And Burr's. So hopefully we will do birthday-ish things tomorrow like for lunch. I think we have a cake...
