Anything With the Word Revenge in the Title

is a sequel. (listening to: "Revenge of the Nerds" theme song)

My 75th post! Huttah!

My grand return from Vegas occurs and finds me just over $700 happier than when I left. As I'm told, I may be the youngest person ever to win money playing Keno. For those of you who don't know the game, allow me to explain. You start playing Keno on a card that has every number from 1 - 80. You choose any combination of 1-10 spots on the card. When you've finished, the computer will "randomly" pull out 20 numbers. You are paid on the number of matches. At the time of my "jackpot," I was playing 6 numbers, and hit all 6. The odds of which, by the way, are 7752:1. Suffice to say, it was a very good trip. This means:

Nintendo Wii - PAID IN FULL
Final Fantasy XII - PAID IN FULL
Guitar Hero 2 w/Wireless Guitar - PAID IN FULL
Metroid 3 - PAID IN FULL
And about $300 left over. What shall I do with it all??? What a delicious question.

So, Vegas was fantastic. Finally got a chance to see the Pussycat Dolls perform live at Pure, an event two years in the making. It was a great show, but not quite what I was hoping for. Perhaps I had built it up too much in my head? In any event, I was tossed a lovely satin souvenir, courtesy of the Las Vegas Dolls. Thank YOU, ladies.

What else has happened since my last post... hrmmm... unfortunately, most of my time has been taken up with work out there in the desert.

Well, since this is my 75th post, I should recognize the people who got me here. Hit my links on the right since they're there, but there are a few who deserve special recognition.

Orion - For showing me blogspot in the first place and nearly literally giving birth to the Signs of Life.
Zoltan - For demanding that I continue to chronicle those signs when I nearly bowed out a year ago.
Daisy - For always checking up here, and continuing to be a presence.

Thank you, and here's to three more years, at least!

Wireless? Dude.

Good thing too, it's probably safer.

I don't like this blog, there's not enough about me in it.

Daniel, I seriously hope that wasn't you questioning such a purchase. Didn't you know? Wireless is the new black.

Jill, I'd like to see more of you in this blog too.

Madjai, don't thank me. To be sure, a man of your lanky stature and education would have easily discovered blogging without me.
