Topic: Vegas, Raveonettes, Netflix, tooth

*I went to Vegas recently with Darth and some friends. It was fun except when I lost money and got a bad tummyache. We walked around, drank, had the Wynn buffet and Delmonicao Steakhouse. I realized I like steak but I can't eat that much meat in one sitting. This was the first time I flew to Vegas and unfortunately it had to be one of the worst experiences I ever had. We booked using Orbitz and last minute they changed our flight coming home. Instead of a direct flight from Vegas to LAX, we had to fly to Salt Lake City, Utah then back to LAX. To matters worse that flight was delayed for two hours. Ugh. We were all not pleased to say the least, so in conclusion NEVER use Orbitz to book your flights.


*Saw the Raveonettes at the El Rey last week for at least the 10th time. They are such a kick arse band! I love them and the new album Lust Lust Lust is great great great. It is a much stronger album going back to their Chain Gang of Love / Whip It On sound compared to Pretty In Black. Pictures below taken at El Rey thanks to Scenestar people :)



*I got my left wisdom tooth pulled this past Friday. It was much more painful compared to when I got my right one done two weeks ago. I could hear the cracking of the tooth as it was being extracted. The sound will haunt me to the end of my days.


*After many years of Netflix devotion, I recently put my account on hold. I've been using their services since 2003 but felt it was time for a much needed break. Although it will be odd not to receive a red envelope in the mail each week, it will give me time to catch up on the dvds Pigern got me as well as TV and I can save a few bucks.

What are you talking about, the airport at SLC was awesome with its no bars and limited drinks with caffeine.

did your tooth hitchhike as well?

Hey, at least now you can color in Utah for your "Where I've Been" map on Facebook. Because layovers do count!

Ha ha funny thing is I did think well I can cross Utah off as states I've been to.

You should start blogging again Jim.

Good luck with your netflix break.

That flight sounds awful and I will never use Orbitz now.

Your tooth story made me cringe.

The new Raveonettes album is probably my favorite of theirs.
