"LV"

In case anyone's wondering why I haven't said much about my trip, it's because I'm a boring person. That's right, I really didn't do anything. But I might as well pass the time.
Thursday: Got on the bus. More or less okay ride. Expected to see a tumbleweed at one point when I realized just how much of a desert Nevada is. Then, dear goddess, I got off the bus. Now please understand, when I complain about the heat here, I'm not complaining about two digit weather. I'm complaining because I'm on the second floor, there's no A/C, and there's no insulation. So the only thing that can cool us off are fans, but if the air is hot, we're out of luck. That being said, when I stepped off the bus, I swore up and down it was the bus engine. Ha. I got in around 8:30 pm, and the friggin temp there was 109.
My official welcome to LV
Grabbed a cab, though he wasn't sure where I wanted to go even though I recited the address Domino gave me. He was nice enough, and eventually got me there. (Too bad his A/C wasn't working.) Upon my inspection of the buildings, it dawns on me that Domino's on the third floor. (Thank goddess there was an elevator.) I reach her door just as se was going to come out and wait for me. Nice timing there. And lovely woman, she had the A/C on.
Well not much else there. We ordered Italian (t'was okay), I showed her Soul Reaver (an aquired taste, given all the dialogue) and Sorcerer on the Rocks, then we called it a night. And what a hot night. Again, welcome to Vegas.
Friday: I wake up early. I always do. If I'm home I just go back to sleep later in the morning. I think I played around on her PS2 for a bit. Bit hazy there as I wasn't paying attention. We had a late start, I know that. Then, the dread venture outside. Domino was kind enough to deal with my complaints of the heat, and smart enough to more or less ignore them. /^^; Let's see, we hit a game shop where I grabbed a copy of The Bouncer (to introduce Domino to Kou), we hit a lovely sushi buffet (I don't care what anyone says, octopus is okay), hit an iced tea place (never ever ever order something that looks too pretty, because it rarely tastes good), then she showed me the place she goes to for figurines and cards/stickers. I remember they had a foreign movie of unknown Asian origin playing that had the most unbelieveable death scene. A guy gets knifed in the back, and has a good two inches of the blade protruding out his chest. Yes, I know you can survive if it misses your heart, but really, twenty minutes to die?
Went back home, looked at Weiß Kreuz a bit(ver. 1.0: pre Gluhen). She introduced me to Guilty Gears X2 (plot sounds convoluted in some areas, but lovely character designs on some, especially Testament and Venom). I think I played DMC2, can't remember if that was Friday or Saturday, while she wrote a Billy/Vega fic. Eventually called it a night.
Saturday: Change in schedule, so I had to go home a day early as she went to work before my bus would leave Sunday. That's okay, though. I'm adaptable. Anyway, we so did not leave the apartment Saturday. Stayed inside, looked at Nightwalker, played more games, and just enjoyed the safety of the A/C until I did have to leave. And that will teach me to call Greyhound instead of showing up, as I had a four hour wait for the next bus to L.A. I won't get into the hell of that trip. I'm just happy my ride was there waiting for me when I walked out.
So like I said, I was a very borin guest. No, I didn't go to casino one, and I only played a slot machine because I promised the mother-unit. Honestly, the idea of tossing away money on the slight chance that I might win more is not my idea of a good time.
All in all, I wouldn't mind going back, but never in the summer, ever again.
