Whooops, forgot to post again. Man am I dumb.

So Lace and I decided to take a little trip down to A.C. last night.  Talk about two completely different players.  I dislike slots, as a whole, but have decided that if I'm going to play them, quarters or higher, none of this nickel shit.  Lace, yeah, she was on the penny slots.  Won 10 bucks on them too.
I was up ~$95 playing the quarters.  We took a little walk on the boardwalk, stopped for some pizza and ice cream.  Then played a little roulette, which I quickly lost $40 and Lace won about the same.  Played a few more machines on the way out and together we were up about $60 which is pretty darn good for a few hours in A.C.
As for reviews - Ceasers is a nice place to go on the weekdays when it is less crowded.  I hate going there on the weekends.  Ballys is a dump as is Wild Wild West.

The Daily Show - 6/12 - Stewart starts the show off with some soccer talk.  John tries a glasses prop that failed miserably and was funnier BECAUSE it failed.  Talked a bit about Zarquai, of course, it's still big news.  I'm pretty sure that the Rob Cordy interview/expose was done already but I could be wrong.  Special Guest is Thomas Freedman who had some good points about energy usage.

The Colbert Report - 6/12 - Starts off with a little talk about The Tonys.  I didn't watch them because I would have no idea what was going on.  Quoted Tom DeLays farewell speech and god I couldn't disagree with that ass more.  Thank god he's out of there.  Wag of the Finger, Tip of the Hat was pretty funny.  Special Guest was Robert F. Kennedy Jr. - who works for Rolling Stone??  It was a pretty funny interview, but if I were RFKJr I would be pretty pissed.

geekdrome - Episode 29 - Both guys liked The Break Up a lot.  Which is interesting with respect to a romantic comedy.  Thankfully they let us know when they were going to spoil it so I could skip the ending talk.  They were right on, when someone says "You need to get my sarcasm" then they aren't sarcastic, they're mean and/or defensive and they need to lighten up about everything.  Pretty good/funny episode.

*** Music Reviews ***
Eels - Souljacker - Just a little warning to start off the review.  I'm a huge Eels Fan.  I think E (Mark Oliver Everette) is an absolute genius (is that spelled right?).  This album isn't my favorite of his so far, but his albums have a way of sneaking up on you and becoming better the more you listen to them.  It's still excellent, just not one of my favorites.  I really think everyone should check out the Eels.  Because if you don't you might be missing your new favorite band.  Or you might not like them very much, which is also fine because they really don't fit any of the current musical models, but you should at least give 'em a shot.  My favorite album is probably Daisies of the Galaxy, but Shootenany is really good too as is his new live album Live at Town Hall.  All three of these albums sound completely different though, so if you like one, you might not like a different one and vice-versa.

Eels - Rotten World Blues EP - Included as a bonus disc when I bought Souljacker.  B-side material and Rotten World Blues (the song, not the EP) is, I guess, an early version of a song on the Live from Town Hall album.  It's not bad, but I'm gald I got it without paying extra.
