Jenn Comes to Visit!!

Jennifer came to visit for the weekend. On Friday, I met up with her and Robert, and we went clubbing at Diego's Level 3. We got there late and weren't able to utilize the guest list. Also, by the time we got to the front of the line, the club was at capacity and, supposedly, the fire marshall was poking around. We spent over an hour and a half in line (I was there for two hours), so that totally sucked. We danced for about an hour before we got a bit tired. We went to sit down and Jennifer fell asleep. We left shortly afterwards.

On Saturday, the girls met for an early dinner. I met them at Rolling Hills for a movie. We saw Batman, which was actually quite good. It was better than I thought it was going to be, so that was good. The only thing was that I found Katie Holmes' nipples distracting throughout the entire film. It must have been terribly cold on set. Either that, or she's extremely sensitive to temperature. Geez!! There were nipples protruding everywhere!!

Brass Monkey

I met Ryan, Beth, Eric, Suk Hyung, Paul, and Mike at Brass Monkey in K-town for a bit of karaoke. I guess people got there too late, because all the sign-ups were full. No one got to sing, although many of us were singing along with those upstage.

Vegas With Diego

Diego and I have been trying to take a trip together for some time now. We were supposed to go to San Diego, or something like that, but then I saw a great deal in Vegas. The Rio had its suites at 50 dollars on Monday! That Monday only. So we left on a Sunday, stayed at the Sahara, transferred over to the Rio on Monday, and then left on Tuesday. While there, we saw a show (KA) which was okay, but not as good as the other Cirque shows I've seen. I think that's because Dragone left. If I had known, I would have gone over to the Wynn to see La Reve, which is by him. We also had buffet two nights in a row. I almost died the second night, because I ate so much. We took like four steps out of the buffet and I already developed a cramp. We had to come to an almost standstill.

Our room was quite nice, though. It had a lot of space, and the bed was extremely luxurious. The comforter was the best, and both of us knocked out after check-in. The room also had nintendo available, but it was like a million dollars an hour, so we watched Teen Titans instead. We did a lot of relaxing and tv watching in the room.

After the show, we walked around the MGM for awhile and saw that there was a restaurant with Diego's name. Of course, we had to take a picture with it. Or rather, I had to take a picture of him with the sign. I did a much better job than when Stephanie took my picture with the Lisa sign in Austria and cut out the sign. Also, the time that I asked Emily to take a picture of me eating cow tongue in Japan, and she cut the cow tongue out of the picture.

Before leaving Vegas, we stopped at Mandalay Bay and went to Shark Reef. This place was interesting. I just went to the Long Beach Aquarium, however, which ruined it a little, because the LBA is so much better than the exhibit at Mandalay Bay. Oh well. The thing I thought was ridiculous was the way they were taking advantage of misfortune. For those people who forgot to bring their cameras, the exhibit was selling disposables for like 20 bucks. I thought that was in bad taste. Geez. A disposable. Get real. And I'm sure that people buy those things, because they really want pictures and memories of their trip.
