So another day of break has come and gone. Ken and I were pretty lazy today– we slept late, and then just bummed around the house till we left around 3:00. Well, actually, we made muffins, then Ken watched T.V. and I downloaded like 3gb of music. (BROADBAND!!! WHOO!!)
Right-o. But anyhow, we drove north and, after driving past the house where my grandfather (on my mother’s side) used to live, we drove down to Canal Park and had dinner at Grandma’s. Dinner was enjoyable (pics of the looming moose later) and afterwards we drove up to the UMD campus, looking for one of Ken’s friends who wasn’t around. Since I didn’t have the confidence (or really the desire, for that matter) to start approaching random girls and asking if they knew where there was a party, we ended up heading back out of town for the Black Bear Casino.
I’ve never really been inside of a casino before. Sure, I’ve walked through casinos in Vegas, but its not the same as being inside and playing the games. Ken and I both tried our hands at the slot machines, which (of course) quickly relieved us of all our nickles. Tiring of that, I headed for the Blackjack tables, where apparently I had some beginner’s luck. Seeing that I was up $100, Ken joined in, but didn’t share my good fortune. All in all, I walked away $80 richer, and (since there was free Coke inside the casino) Ken ended up paying $25 for a Coke. Well, I guess you win some and you loose some. Overall, though, it was quite an enjoyable experience.
Ha. Sean’s away message states that he is “making love to a couple of hot pockets.” Well. Go Sean! For myself, I’m planning on going and making love to my pillow here in a bit, except without the “making love” bit. Right. That made sense. Ta ta.
