Today's Cafeteria Menu:
Fajita Taco Salad
Frijoles a la charra
Spanish Rice

I know it's not just me. I know it's strange that Texans consume more Mexican food than any other states combined. I know it. I just know it.

On Friday, I met up with Shifty [this chick that works in our Benefits Dept], Shifty's friend Emma, and Jacopo [read his blog here] at Dave and Busters! If you've never been to a Dave and Busters, it's like an adult Chuck E. Cheese minus kids and plus alcohol. They have a restaurant in the back, pool tables, and a game room with a huge ass bar in the middle. The games give you tickets and you buy shit with the tickets in the prize room. So, with an open tab at the bar, and $30 bucks loaded onto a Powercard [Dave and Buster currency], we headed into the game room to test our skills at mindless money-sucking games, air hockey, and skeeball. Well, I ended up having the most tickets out of everyone, and most of them came from the mindless games [go figure]. I lost at air hockey to Shifty's friend Emma. [Although, I did score the most points. How, you ask? Well, I accidentally scored three goals on myself.] And while I did suck at skeeball, I did beat Shifty [who said skeeball was her all-time favorite game]. Overall, I think everyone had fun!

Here's Shifty showing us how to tie a cherry stem into a knot. I don't care what you say, I can't tie a cherry stem into a knot to save my life, but I'm a fucking damn good kisser.

And here's Jacopo messing around in the prize room at Dave and Busters.

On Saturday night, it was Shifty's birthday so I headed to Jillian's [ex-fucking-actly like Dave and Busters] to meet up with Shifty again and this time The Cuz [my cousin that works with us] came, too. Shifty was hell-bent on winning this gi-normous stuffed frog [why?], so she spent aboot $50 bucks just winning tickets so that she could get enough to "win" the frog [sucka].

Afterwards, The Cuz and I decided to go to a new casino in Lousiana called the L'auberge du Lac Hotel and Casino. [Yeah, I know... last minute decision, right?] It was only three hours away and we left Houston at 9:30 pm, got there at 12:30 am, stayed there till 5:00 am and got back to Houston at 8:00 am on Sunday morning. [And, holy fuck am I tired this morning.]

I invited Shifty to go with us. Ya know, fun and gambling for her birthday. But she said, "Oh, well, I shouldn't gamble. I never win anything!" I said, "Girl, you got the wrong idea about gambling. It's not about winning. It's about not losing too much money." But she wasn't convinced, and she didn't go with us. And boy, did she miss out on some good-ole-fashion-gamblin-away-your-rent-money-while-you're-high-and-drunk-and-waay-too-damn-sleepy-to-be-drivin-to-Lousiana-in-the-middle-of-the-night fun.

Once we got there, we settled into a couple of nickel slot machines and with the first $10 bucks I played, I won $65 bucks! I played with that $65 bucks the whole time and on the last slot machine, I won $75! So, I did what any sensible 26 year old would do at the end of a profitable night at a new casino -- I cashed out and blew all my winnings in the gift shop.

Here's the fountain at the entrance to the casino.

So that's what I did this weekend... What did you do?

[Was it as fun as mine? No. Are you still gonna put it in the comments? Yes.]
