Man, this vacation things isn't too bad. Going back to work is gonna really suck. But for now. . . Nice. So far watched Phantom and Ka (more on that later), with O tonight and Blue Man Group tomorrow. This is just a collection of thoughts I've had on my first day or so here in Sin City.

(1) Wherever you go, there's an obelisk - the view out my window has the Luxor Obelisk. My first thought (admittedly, blearyeyed from little sleep) was "How'd the Washington Monument get out here?"

(2) If you're hotel has three Starbuck's (plus two other cafes) on the first floor, either (a) the people around you take their coffee very, very seriously or (b) your hotel is TOO DAMNED BIG.

(3) Pyramids mess with my sense of direction - yeah, I know, Quinn - "What sense of direction?" Pyramids make it worse. I barely made it ten feet from Registration before I got lost. In my defense (a) I've lived in towns smaller than this hotel and (b) casinos are DESIGNED to suck you in and leave you lost. It's just that they find me an easier mark for that than most. On the other hand, I don't gamble, so laugh's on them.

Well, off to grab breakfast and then off to Bodies: The Exhibition. Possibly poor planning on my part, but we'll see. More later.
