FUCK.  this is the 3rd time now that i&#8217;ve had to get my car from the Hall of Justice.  and i had to pay off 7 outstanding parking tickets to boot.  $550 later, my car was rescued. sheeez, parking around here is really breaking the bank.<\/p>\n<p>spent the rest of the weekend up in tahoe.  elena&#8217;s family owns a place up there so tash, marcell and i went up there to kick it w\/ her and patrick.  we didnt snowboard or anything, but just spent most of the weekend hanging out, drinking, and chilling.  had a great time. oh yeah, we also went to reno to gamble for a bit.  i dont know crap about card games etc, so i spent the whole time playing roulette. it was hella fun though.  i decided i would limit the amount of money i blew, so i only got 80$ from the atm.  since in roulette, it&#8217;s so easy to double your money, my bets of 20$ quickly grew to 40, 80 and sometimes 160$.  chips are so weird.  they&#8217;re money, and yet so dont seem like money.  yet at the same time, watching the ball spin round the wheel and knowing that a whole $160 is riding on where it lands, definitely gives you a huge kick of adrenalin.  anyways, i was up some, down some, all over the place, but in the end, i was actually able to pull myself away from the table without losing it all.  and i actually ended up $125 up!!
