so close… yet so far away.
I’ve been here since 7am. I’ll probably be here until 10pm. I’ve been in Vegas, baby, Vegas for 13 days, so long there is actually food in my refrigerator that is no longer edible and that, my friends, is a good barometer of how long is too long to stay in a hotel. I’ve been on the road for all but 4 days in the last 9 weeks. It’s an understatement to say I am DONE.
Tomorrow I fly to Dallas, see the peeps, look for an apartment, get my haircut, then I go to Houston, see the fam, see Rozino’s band play, and watch movies, read books, and lie around like I have never watched, read, and layed before. I need this break so BAD it’s not even funny, and I play to take full advantage of the pajama pants/no makeup/bedhead regime. Come December 1, back to work!
I rode the roller coaster at the New York, New York a couple of nights ago. It was freaking AWESOME. So, I admit, Vegas is kinda growing on me. I found this awesome, cheesey old Vegas place called The Peppermill (as seen in Casino), and it’s so corny and neon and kitschy and local; I adored it. The Red Square has awesome Romanovesque decor and blue cheese stuffed olives in their martins, and I’ve been to Paymon’s three times. Lemonade, baby.
I have to go to D.C. in December, and then BACK to Vegas, but the one perk is that I get to stay at The Paris, so I’m pretty pumped about that, even though I’m working by myself and have no one to share it with. Isn’t 76% enjoyment of something sharing it with someone else? Naaah, 88% of statistics are made up anyway. *wink*
Speaking of, someone this week told me that every American-born billionaire in this country except Oprah Winfrey is left-handed. Could that be true? I can’t find any data to support that theory in a half-hearted single Google swipe, so I’m going to call bull.
Anyone see Grey’s Anatomy this week? "Here’s to bull, and here’s to crap!" Tha’s sooo my new toast. Hee!

You’re coming to see me!! Soooo happy! And we’re going to eat and watch movies and be lazy and it’s going to be wonderful!

And if anyone stands in my way I will kill her dead.
See you tomorrow! Kisses!

You’re moving back to Dallas, huh? Good, my dear.
Being left-handed, I’ve always been interested in the topic. Can’t say I’ve heard what you mentioned but it has been shown but it is a controversial topic as to whether sinistrality (that is the fancy word we psychologists use for left-handedness!) confers any advantage cognitively. I’ve read a study that was done amongst students who took the MCAT, and it showed that left-handedness was associated with giftedness in verbal reasoning (such as analogies). There are actually good theories to explain why that might be but I’m not going to get into that! LOL We also know that left-handedness is overrepresented in people with very low IQ, in which case it is often indicative of brain injury prenatally or in early childhood. Anyway, I’ll look to see if I can find anything about that statement you brought up.
