Day 43

Due to a late night the previous night, I woke up at noon today, thus driving my Saturday morning into the bed, literally. I had to be at work in two hours, so I did what I could, and ate an omelet and went to work.

I started reading the book Child 44, which is excellent. It's well written and the pacing and visuals are deft. Mike let me borrow the book, and I'm glad he did. It's cool, because two people can read the same book, and they envision the characters, the setting, and the environment completely different. It's how our minds shape the book's atmosphere.

After work I met up with Tanya and Mike and we went to Gun Lake Casino, where Mike's parent's were also at. Tonight was good, we spent about an hour and 15 minutes there, and I killed it on my first slot machine. It's a winning to bid game, and its stacked with mini games on it as well. I did really well, I started with $5.00 and had that up to $60, but then that came back down to $40. I walked away with the 35 dollar gain. Later on, I played a few more games, and earned another $40.00, although I had still lost some. At the end of the night, I left the casino with a net gain of $35. 94. I'll take it.

Went back to Mike's house where I stayed the night. Good Saturday.

- I started watching Rear Window today, another movie I need to x off the Top 100 list -
