March 5

2:30 For a long time i kept telling Angela i wanted to go back to Lucky Eagle Casino, some 88+ miles north of Portland. Greatest disappointment tonight, never seen maya in action so strongly. One scene wasn't ending yet and another one was starting right from it. I figured all actors and extras are promised Nirvana if they participate cause no one in the world would do what they do for other reason. However they don't know there are many definitions of nirvana, from extinguishment (the original sanskrit meaning) to enlightenment and unification with god or godhood.

I am wondering how they do it, i think they rent the whole casino for the night.

I will never go there again. I can get the same treatment much closer here in Oregon.

The gas level was very low for the miles. At one moment i went to buy some brandy from IGA 5 miles away, the brandy at the bar is about 5-10 times more expensive and bartenders also can make all kinda jokes. When i got in the car i saw the gas gauge was where it should have been for the miles or 3 gallons up then when i got there. Did anybody stole gas from the car and they added back up there? The point?

At Chevron station at Ilani they got at least one pump that says it has alcohol free gas. The blue lines. Looking very similar with the pumps with an extra diesel line (green and nozzle is bigger, won't fit in gas cars). I tried last night, selected the category but it didn't work. No error message no nothing. It could be that state forces the retailers to give a choice. I guess they were out of it.

At IGA i didn't know where the brandy was and asked a red headed woman at Deli department and she told me she can't sell me liquor because she's 16. She didn't need to, the brandy was on a shelf in the store, all i asked her was to let me know where it was. Taylor Swift is an ice skater (swift) in Hungary and in reality she is 33 years old. And let me tell you a secret. That is not music what she's doing with all the gear and Watson and stuff, that is just a cat meowing trying desperately to get attention.

I spent some time in the smoking area. Put all my clothes in a garbage sack, will wash them tomorrow. My hair smells like smoke so bad, it still stinks after i took a shower and washed it twice with shampoo, don't know if i can sleep because of the smell. Probably the reason i like to go in there, i'm missing it already. Not exactly cigarette smoke.

10:38 Is this for real? 20000 a ticket or is just my perception of reality? Metlife, why not TryMeth?

How many times the guy upstairs interrupted me while doing last two matches? About 100 times. This is his job, the reason why he's here always.

11:13 So they pulled the regular driver off. Too many coincidences. I start to believe more and more that nobody was on that train, the event was designed to cover something else much more important.

5:33 It started a couple of hours ago. There has never been so much smoke in here period.

6:31 I think he was the guy who dropped a casino card right in front of me. For those who don't know let me tell you what you can do with it. You accumulate points. For every dollar you cycle through the machine, and some have high returns, bigger than 90%, like poker (if you make no mistakes) so you cycle 1 dollar about 7 to 10 times before you actually lose it, you get a point. If you are lucky you can get between 50 and 100 points at a machine loosing between 7 and 14 dollars maybe. In other words you get back on the card about 1% of the real money you play.

It's not much but if you play with the card you can get all kinda perks. Free play on the card. Some casinos go as far as giving you 50 dollars or more per night, but usually is 10 to 20 per week. Free lodging (sometimes). Free meals (sometimes). Object prizes you won't need, up to 20 dollars twice a year. Free entry in drawings i don't believe in, etc.. You can't transfer money on a card and especially can't cash money from a card, you have to play it. I can recover 90% or more (depending on luck) from a card by playing poker. 

However can't cash winnings of more than @1200 dollars, which happens usually when you hit a jackpot. If you win more the guys will come to pay you and they will also retain the taxes and your name of course.

In other words, can't use one of those or a cash ticket the machine gives you when you stop playing to transfer serious money to another person period.
