I love working with a clean new reinstall
December 03, 2001
Everything runs so smoothly and fast. No errors of course. I still have to install a bunch of stuff, namely the Adobe stuff but that can wait.
Yesterday I got to hang out with a couple more decade friends: Andrew and Jeff. Due to Andrew’s purchase of his new palm, and also that Dennis has his visor, and I think some of you guys out east also have palms or whatever, I think I’ll make a palm version of this page so you don’t have to have those pictures all over the place. I’ll do that soon.
Then I went to the casino with Jeff because I just suddenly had this urge to be impulsive. I played Let It Ride and lost $40. I took the $12 left (min to play is $15) and put it all on Sic Bo. Cool, I just doubled my money. I put all $24 on large this time. Cool, I doubled my money again. I was almost even at this point. Now, I could’ve just cashed out and lost $7 or I could’ve played more. Since my original intent was to be impulsive, I put I think $43 on small and $5 on a doubles (payoff is 11:1). I didn’t care if I won or lost because I know that stepping into a casino means I WILL give money to them. Conclusion: 6, 3, 2. Big. No doubles. Over. Oh well.
The key to being in a casino is if you lose, you lose. You can’t make it back. You’ll just lose more. So we left.
Then, we went to a gameroom and I played CS for the first time in my life. I love how nobody covered me and I was stepped on by 4 people at once. It was pretty fun but I don’t think it would be that good at home because firstly the lag kills and also they had a subwoofer for every computer in the room – the sound was just incredible. It was like a real warzone (not that I’ve ever been in a real warzone). Will I play it again? Sure, maybe after finals, and Japan, but then school starts so maybe after school. It was dirt cheap though. Everyone in that room smokes. Even though I smoke, I still feel really gross if I breathe in too much smoke. I felt sick at home.
I love Eri.
