One two three four, birthdays wanna hop some more!

Well, it's happened. I've lived for 29 full years.

I won enough to pay for cab fare

Well, I have now returned from Las Vegas. In order to fully return to normalcy, I did an hour of yard work earlier today. No flashing neon lights involved in that.

Anyways, there are some interesting things hiding just behind the big Strip resorts, as the photo demonstrates. Las Vegas - constantly plowing over itself for 100 years.

Also, it turns out that some of my traveling companions are recorded musicians. Check out their music (note: these are real honest endorsements and are in no way payback for the free CDs I got). First, there's the Latino-Jewish rap sensations Hip Hop Hoodios, co-fronted by the mysterious Josue Noriega. And don't forget country-fried city boys the Cobble Hillbillies. Who's that on bass? None other than young Sir Robert Bentley!

Just take the contents of my wallet now

I'll be off tomorrow for a weekend in Las Vegas. It should be fun, but for someone who's, well, thrifty as I am, maybe it will be a little scary too.

Maybe I'll post an update or a crazy photo or two when I get back. Then it's off to visit my family for Thanksgiving.

Wastefulness and gluttony ahoy!

Thunderstorms in November.

Man, that just ain't right.

In other news, I entered a new link in the links section - not another friend's blog, but a cool resource I just discovered. Rocwiki is the community-run portal to all things Rochester. I wanted to know what restaurants are at the Village Gate, and I found out on Rocwiki. Cool.
