  Missing TV.com

  Well for some reason I'm in a mood to blog today. It's been quite awhile that's for sure! I think I noticed it was time to make my profile page all Christmas-y and that just got me in the mood. I did reuse the banner I made 2 years ago though, but I like it so might as well make good use of it!

  Quite a bit has happened since last time when I wrote about my best friend's wedding (which was amazing by the way). First off I got a new job. At the old job, someone one position above me (coordinator, so kinda like the boss's assistant) quit and I started doing his job, plus still doing my old job...and was told I'd get the promotion. But then we had layoffs, and got a new president of the company, and were told no raises/promotions for the year. But I was still told that I'd get my promotion, and backpay too. After 4 months of that though I started looking for another job, and somehow very luckily (with help from co-workers) found one! I was very sad to leave though, the old job felt like home, and everyone there was great. It was hard to tell the boss I was leaving! She understood though, and told me to just come back in 6 months when I realize I miss everyone lol.

  The new job is going good so far, and I think I'm doing a satisfactory job thus far. It's a bit more boring though, and the it's a smaller department (with all high cubicle walls so it's quiet). Everyone is nice though, and I make a lot more money, so I'm happy. I only say the money makes me happy because the other job paid nothing and I didn't even have enough money for food and rent! I'm still torn about staying in L.A. forever...I miss Ohio and my family and friends. But this is where the work is so I dunno. Christmas is soon though so I'll get to go home and I'm really excited.

  TV-wise I like Flash Forward, and for some terrible reason like The Vampire Diaries. I think I have some weird need to keep finding new CW shows to watch so there's always something on that horrible (like horrible but so good at the same time lol) network that I am a fan of. I am kinda getting too old for that stuff though! Oh but I can't wait for that midseason CW show (Life Unexpected) with Liz from Roswell -- who's a mom now, weird! I am old! I checked out White Collar and it's pretty decent...but no time to watch, especially without cable...too much I'm behind on already! Umm other than that...Dollhouse is gone soon but it wasn't all that great anyway so that's fine, and even Heather Locklear couldn't save the new Melrose Place. Oh well. She's kinda hot still I guess, but I still like my grandma Marg from CSI better. Also re-falling in love with Sofia Vergara (who was awesome in the terrible show Hot Properties, as was Gail O'Grady) even though I don't watch Modern Family.

  I guess that 's enough of an update for now! What is everyone else enjoying (or hating) this TV season? And how's everyone been...hopefully good! I hope everyone enjoys the holidays, and I'll try to blog again before I go back home in a few weeks. Later!

  Best Friend's Wedding=MIA from tv.com

  Yep, my best friend is getting married, so I'll be away from now until Sunday the 27th. I'll try to stop in whenever I can, but I'll be really busy so I'll probably only log on a few times, just to clear submissions. So sorry if your submissions hang around for awhile!

  P.S. I'll try to write a real blog after I come back!

  Vegas - was so fun!

  Alright, I'm back from the trip and back at work (yuck), and man Vegas was fun! I'd never been to Vegas, so only knew what to expect from the movies (and CSI), but I was not disappointed! I'll do a runthrough:

  We got there late Friday night (about 1AM). The one girl just drove there with us, so then we (me and AJ the other girl) dropped her off with her dad who she was meeting then headed for the Sahara. We had to wait for like 30 minutes to check in, then AJ said she was tired so we just walked around the hotel a bit then went to bed. Sort of lame, but whatever.

  Saturday was filled with so much stuff! Basically we just walked around all the casinos, doing only a bit of gambling. And cheap stuff too haha. I usually bet 25 cents, and rarely went up to a dollar haha. So when I won it was only a little bit....but then when I lost it was only a little bit too haha. I usually played the basic slot machine where you can bet 1-20 lines, then 1-5 (I think) times return. I was only using from 1 cent to 1 dollar, so it was easy on the wallet. Also I think it was a bit easier to win? I tried the poker machine too some, and blackjack...but those weren't so easy. I didn't try a table, which I really wanted to do, but AJ didn't want to so I didn't. Boo, no free drinks from trashy waitresses.

  I was too cheap to ride the rides at the top of the Stratosphere, but I did go on the roller coaster at the Saraha and that was fun. We went inside a lot of the casinos. The Encore was beautiful (we didn't go in the Wynn though). I really loved the Venetian/Palazzo, it was one of my favorites. The one part inside had an area that looked like Venice, complete with the boats and the waterways. And the ceiling was painted like clouds too, as well as the bulidings looking like they were the outsides of bulidings. It was so pretty! That's not to mention the actual hotel itself, which was very fancy!

  We stopped by Treasure Island but were not so impressed. The Mirage was neat, and we got huge slushee drinks there so that was cool. I couldn't believe people can walk around wherever with alcohol. It was funny, and also pretty awesome haha. Walking down the street, swimming in the pool...all with alcohol. Hah. Let's see...we also stopped at Caesar's Palace, which was HUGE. And also fancy, with a super-fancy mall filled with nothing but designer jewelry/purse/clothing stores. I also thought it was funny how the waitresses at the nice hotels were hotter and younger than the ones at the cheap hoels (like the Sahara).

  Let's see...we only walked by New York New York, because we were getting tired by the time we got to that part of the strip. We also didn't make it to Mandalay Bay, the Luxor, or Excalibur. But that's okay. I think by the time we saw the MGM Grand we were so tired we gave up haha. We stopped back at the Bellagio as the sun was setting, and the water show there was sooo pretty. It was great. I think they use that hotel in a lot of CSI opening shots. There were so many casinos...I'm sure we went in more but I can't really remember haha.

  At night we went to Lavo, a club in the Venetian, since AJ knew someone who worked there. Good thing too because that place is like $40 to get in! AJ's friend also got us into the pool at the Palazzo which was really nice (though I think The Mirage had the best pool area from the ones I saw). We only stayed out until 4AM though, since AJ lost her phone and got all upset.

  By the time we finished up our buffet at The Palms (which was delicious, and not too expensive either) it was 5PM on Sunday...so I didn't get back until after midnight, but hey, it was SO worth it! I had a great time and now I really wanna go back haha.

  --------------------------------------------------------

  Also, thanks for all the wishes for fun guys. I didn't do anything that I need to hide though (lucky) martimer lol. Dan you're definitely right though, having no money to begin with means I didn't lose much! Fatfreeoreos...maybe next time, when I go with a bunch of guys. Thanks Scott...good thing no one knows what I look like haha. Thanks ArmoredCore, welcome to my blog. Amaryllis lol yeah, didn't wanna do anything too crazy! Agnus yeah, the hotel was okay enough for me...and yeah, I so got some CSI bling! Thanks 12678, sesho, and SrRui, I definitly had fun! And layle...that's insane. Now that I've been there though, I also might have to start meeting people there instead of here!
