Go Team! I am on a train heading back home. The troops are motivated. The past 48 hours have just been harried - but I will save you all the diary details of it. My head hurts. My stomach hurts. My butt, oddly enough, hurts. My legs hurt. My neck is sore. Last night I should of not gone into the one room where the new SVP of the company wrapped her arm around me and guided me to the bar where a row of shots were waiting. I should have ditched right before then. Those shots were unnecessary (although very tasty). When the CEO had me text-messaging people back in the city.. that was probably unnecessary. Then there were the mojitos.
72 hours indoors That's why I felt so discombobulated. We were in the casino city/complex the whole time - the faux-sky ceiling deceiving us into thinking we were outside. It makes you feel funky.
Poor people on TV I watched a bit of the hurricane coverage on a few stations in my spare time. Man, some of those "reporters". Who's that one that looks like Linda Trip? CNN I think... She's a retard. Straight up. I caught a few minutes of her where she had like a dozen talking-head experts who she would juggle to the point of hilarity.
Linda Trip Looking Tard: Steve, how will New Orleans ever get back together? Steve: Well, Linda Trip, they will need to first get the water out. Linda Trip Looking Tard: Doug, what is exactly water made of? Doug: Water comes from the ocean and the sky in the form of rain.. Linda Trip Looking Tard: Cindy, how will the White House deal with this disaster involving water in the ocean? Cindy: Well, it's not just the water, but it's the animals in the ocean - the ones that eat things who may or may not live in the ocean.
Granted, who cares about the idiot TV news people. This hurricane f*cked up the Mississippi delta big time. Sad. Donate to the Red Cross.
Yays and Nays on the AC YAY: · My second hotel room was a corner one with windows on both sides. It rocked. · The driver who took me to Philadephia (don't ask) was very entertaining. · Dinner at Old Homestead · Dinner at the goofy Cuban place in the hotel was actually very good · The shrimp & grits at the first night's restaurant · I didn't lose any money gambling (granted, I didn't gamble) · The air show that happened outside my hotel window involving jets zooming around in formations · I didn't throw up on anyone · I hung out with some nice folks · The lounge singers were so awfully corny · My cell phone's battery was good for four days straight (stupid wrong travel charger that Verizon sold me) · What happens in AC may not necessarily stay in AC if you keep text-messaging all night
NAY: · The casino was just nappy · NJ has like no smoking laws apparently · I slept like 10 minutes total the whole time · AC is kind of depressing · Everything is fake · Sad old people in the casinos · Sad middle-age people in the casinos
