[angsty title]

Comment Commentary

Mal- *high five*

Godel- How easily we forget. :/

Shin- I should have guessed. Ejaculation is God's way of healing flesh wounds, after all.

Aleia- To tempt young men and bring them down to the pits of hell with them?

Mimmi- Ah, a note of absence. You are excused.

Nothing happened today- journalism was stupid, we had a lot of subs (GATE convention in Burbank), and journalism was stupid. So, instead of a substantial post, I bring you pictures from Vegas.

I didn't organize them chronologically, so things will end up jumping back and forth in time. Doing a good job wasn't taken into consideration until I was halfway done uploading and naming everything. Enjoy.

Above.. Stuff. For those of you who have never been in an airplane, there's a bit of insight. There were some really cool clouds to the right (they almost looked solid), but I couldn't get a good shot of them.

Crack is bad. It speaks for itself. *mourns the loss of near-mint condition-ness*

Swanky bed. Isn't that a cool bed? Of course, I refused to share a bed with my brother, so a third bed was ordered.. And it wasn't as vernacular.

A rather lame shot of the pool area at the Bellagio. The building to the left is in progress- you can't tell from that angle, but it's pretty unfinished on the other side.

Lobby Leaves. These were hanging from the ceiling near the lobby (by the entrance to the area with the nauseatingly overpriced clothing stores).

OMFG ITZ SEN!!1 Not sure why I took this one.. At least you all get a very nice view of the inside of my nose.

Clouds. Rain.. In Vegas? Never!

Of course.. You couldn't get away without a picture of DDR. My dad took this with the flash on as I was playing, and I was blinded for a few seconds, totally messing up the beginning of the song.

Everything Coco Cola. It's M&M World.. Only with Coke! You can't really tell, but the girl to the far left looked exactly like Haruko would if she were a real person- clothes and everything- but I doubt it was intentional.

Geek To Chic Ad. I just had to take a picture of this one.. It has a White Stripes DVD in it, after all.

"Virtual Reality Fighter." The blue panels on the sides are supposed to sense your motions, but they do an awful job of it. People struggle with character selection alone. A waste of three dollars.

The DDR Phantom. It looks like I was wearing bellbottoms.. o_O

Lake Bellagio. For the sake of redundancy, this is the lake outside of the Bellagio. They have a big water fountain show out there every couple hours, but we didn't get a good picture of it.

Blatant Nintendo Knockoff. One of the many souvenier shops in the slummier area of Vegas had this.. Actually, there's a booth in our mall with a similar product. They could have at least used a better controller design- other than for First Person Shooters, I always felt the N64 controller design was sort of impractical.

Mystery Bag. Why, anything could be in there. Cocaine, explosives.. Or even a laptop!

Other leaves. You see these just as you walk in. Cool, no?

Utility Van of Mysterious Wonders. I was trying to get a picture of the fountain outside of the Paris, and this came out. Oh well, I think it's better.

The Eiffel Mini-Tower. I didn't take this one- I was too scared of getting ass-raped by a bunch of drunken businessmen to leave the room at night. Other than that, I can't think of much to say..

The Strip at night, as seen from our hotel room. It's cooler without the blur.

That's oldschool, yo. Pinball.. My dad's the one doing the Twister one (He got the second highest score).

Southwest Airlines- We love to screw you over.

Three-puck air hockey at Gameworks. I didn't bother playing.. By the time I discovered it I had blown most of my money on DDR.

A very tired Sennen. Will you ever see a picture of me without the lame-ass short hair?

Bathtub! That bathtub was incredibly deep. Either that or I've been ruined by the lame bathtubs in my house.

The real way to play Virtua Tennis. It's also the real way to waste four dollars on Virtua Tennis.

The fabled wall of M&Ms and the sweaty fat man of yore.

Gorf..? What the bloody hell is Gorf?

There was one picture of my mom getting reacquainted with Space Invaders, which had unlimited plays on it, but I can't seem to find it. Oh well.

--

My parents have suddenly fallen in love with Trigger Happy TV. o_O I did not see that one coming.

EDIT: Yellow M&M, my old arch nemesis. I feel sorry for the guy in that costume.. But he probably gets free M&Ms, so it's all good.

Nintendo Knockoff Console, continued. Syk thought that it was just a third party controller, so I'm just clarifying: It had fifty "amazing" games, including Popeye, Star Gate, Space ET (Probably had nothing to do with the movie), and a Speed Racer motorcycle game. Motorcycle game. Yeah. Speed Racer on a motorcycle. Right.

Rain.. In California!?! Again, surely ye jest!

Found it! My mom used to be a major Space Invaders junkie, so.. Yep.

Satan's Minifridge. You know, the one with the pressure sensors so they charge you three times the retail price for anything that you even accidentally nudge.

Slummy Strip. Before I resized it, you could tell that the guy I circled was a porn hawker. Don't ask how.
