Hola all... thought I'd get this whole update done on the plane ride home. ::sigh::

I don't think anyone wants to hear about the entire trip or the illegality of some of the things we did... fun or not. Hmmm, where to begin... (more piccies posted when Mr. Asian VonRicePaddy uploads em for me...)


Got to Vegas around one o'clock in the afternoon where Mel and I spent a good two hours in the longest taxi line in the history of man. Upon arrival at our hotel, we showered, changed and zipped immediately outside to walk the Strip. Okay, let me just say... holy fuck we did a TON of walking. We made it from the Sahara all the way down to the Bellagio but had to return to the hotel by nine, not only because we were jet lagged but... CSI was on.

The next day... crap, what did we do... OH! Woke up, and saw a ton and a half of the casinos. Bellagio, Mandalay Bay, Luxor, Alladin and a ton of others. That night... shit... uh... played arcade games, made a fool out of myself on DDR and went to dinner at The Mirage. I got sick; surprise, surprise. Drove up and down the Strip a bit and returned to the hotel.

Saturday we did the amusement park at Circus Circus and went shopping and I rode some crazy ass rides on the Stratosphere that made me want to swallow my tongue; that night we went over to the Palms and Rio and chilled. Mel saw Cirque Du Soleil's 'Le Reve' while I chilled at the hotel and watched West Wing because I felt like crap and a half.

Sunday.... erm... we did something but I an't remember really because I suck and was sooo tired. Maybe that was the day she went to the show and we saw the Wynn? Yes! Because SATURDAY was the day we actually went shopping and saw The Venetian.

God, I suck.

Yesterday we found out that CSI was shooting at Golden Nugget and went down and got to be in some shots for the teaser. After having enough of that, we got lunch, returned to the hotel and went back down to Freemont St.

OMG spoilers ahead, stop if you're not spoiled for 6X14!!!

So we went BACK to the Golden Nugget and watched as they set up for the car crash scene. We met a few crew people thanks to a person I'm not gonna name because I'll prolly be hit. :) (Looking at Grand Canyon out the side of the plane, hehe, so far doooooooooooown.) The stunt flopped the first time because according to crew man (who I can't name or I'll be hit again) the fuel cell died. So they got their lunch break and Mel and I went for dinner.

Came back and they wrecked the car and then they brought in the actors to shoot the scene. We were pretty much standing in front of Jorja's chair the whole time and didn't know it. Crew man told Jorja that we We (we being Mel because she left and I didn't know what was going on) went up to Billy and asked him for a picture. He was very sweet, let me get that out of the way... but he also had this air of cockiness about him... like...

Crew man: These two are friends of so and so, the two who came out to LA last year.
Billy: I don't, I don't remember.

But we took the picture and shook his hand and he said he enjoyed Mel's accent. Stood next to him for a bit and just listened to him talk about football. He quite funny, I'll give him that. Also, he looks much... paler and older up close... but that's okay, still would have jumped him. :-D Then we (again, Mel) went up to Jorja... who was more hippy-ish than I would have imagined. I mean, from what I've seen of her on shows and through interviews she seemed like a spiritual person but... for real... she's very... I don't know how to put it. She used the word cool far too much, EVERYTHING was cool. Also, the fact that I was from Boston seemed to perk her interest because when I told her, she was like, "Boston!? Oh, the blonde actress out there is from Boston!!!" And we spoke with her a bit and took pictures... and can I say this...

She is so much more gorgeous in person. They do NOT do her justice on the show, I swear. Also... who knew Billy smoked? Not me... but he does... but he does it in such a way that he looks like such a schmuck... like he's, as i put it yesterday, trying to be cool 1940's style.

Paul and David Berman were there. Paul was really quiet and David seemed unable to pull himself away from the Sun Chips, just kept going back again and again and again. We were there for six hours watching them film and hanging with the crew guys who really... are the sweetest people ever. Were invited back to the Luxor after they wrapped to have some drinks but they weren't going to wrap until like 3 a.m. and we knew neither of us would get up. So we went back to the hotel and slept... and now I'm on a plane back to Good Ole Bostonia.

Never been so depressed in my life. Sadness.

Some good quotes:
- Me: Fuck yourself... better yet, go fuck that ironing board and see if it'll close.

-Kenny: He can't act!
-Mel: Okay, you don't know anything; You're the one who didn't know what wayward meant!
-Kenny: No, I knew what wayward meant, I didn't know what a wayward curl was, thought it was a hairstyle. And no one would know what that was. You could go up to anyone and ask what a wayward curl was and they're be like, 'I don't know, I think it's a song by Kansas...'

-Crew guy talking about bars in L.A.: But watch out for the gay bars... places like Man Hole... you walk in there and you see all these men and they're hugging each other and you're like... what.

-Me: I talk really fast.
-Crew Guy: I listen really fast.

-Crew Guy: Jorja, we got your groupies over here!
-Jorja: Oh! Really? Yay! Hiiii!
-Mel: Oh my god, groupies, we are such assholes.

-Crew Guy: So are you big nerds like so and so???
-Me: Yeah, we go around picking out specific places where episodes took place, but it's okay, because afterwards we always follow it up with, 'We are such assholes.'

-Me: You've got something on your teeth... it's blood.
-Mel: Mmm, coppery. Well at least we know I don't have an iron deficiency!

-Mel: And we can go up to Billy and be like... yeah, we could see your cock.
-Me: Yep, like, 'Billy, we were on the top of the Stratosphere and we could see your cock, it's THAT big. Better yet, flying into Vegas, you were so big... you violated Vegas. How do you feel? You raped Vegas... wai... holy shit there are people in that tent!!!

-Mel: Maybe he has a friend that's not the fat one... I mean I'm sure he's NICE, I just don't want to do him.

Okies, off to write some angst.
