It&#8217;s my first time there in over a year and two years since I dropped my Vegas project. I&#8217;m there with my family so that means I&#8217;ll either spend all of my time in the arcade with Michael, at the table with my dad as he glares at me because I flirt with everyone, or at the table with my mom, cockblocking her by telling the young guys who hit on her that she&#8217;s a lesbian. I kind of want to break the routine though. When I was working on the Vegas project, I was there a lot getting the feel for the casino floor and buddying up with dealers (sometimes a little too much so). I want to not gamble, and not be so aware of that shrill siren of desperation and mania in people&#8217;s energy that&#8217;s ubiquitous out there&#8230;just see the place from the eyes of a tourist who really thinks this is Disneyland for adults. By the way, I hate that term&#8230;Disneyland for adults. That&#8217;s what my coworker calls orgy-catering swingers clubs.<\/p>\n<p>My coworker&#8217;s wife just had a baby this morning! A Virgo named Guy. We gave him a hard time about him choosing the name Guy. Like, why don&#8217;t you just give him the middle name Big Dick if you want to overstate his masculinity. I don&#8217;t think you should test God that way; he&#8217;s got a wicked sense of humor. I think choosing the name Guy for your first born son nearly insures that he&#8217;s gonna be born with a vagina. But I guess for this kid, all the parts were where they should be.
