we're at the bellagio so we ate at the buffet here tonight and they had kobe beef and prime rib and sushi and i ate so much i felt a little sick and then i had another slice of kobe beef and another few king crab legs. how can you walk away from that? i bet i ate a dozen pieces of sushi, five large pieces of kobe beef and three or four slices of prime rib. i skipped the gay shit like bread and vegetables. not bad for thirty bucks.
drinks are RETARDED. i bought a vodka red bull when i started getting a bit tired and it was thirteen dollars. eat shit, fagfuck. i didn't tip him. i did smuggle in a handle of crown and a handle of absolute so i'm okay. we went to CVS and were able to buy sodas and juice at normal prices so now my sink is a cooler full of delicious goodness.
oh! somebody here told me to ask for an upgrade. i didn't. we got into our room and it had an awful view of the back side of the bellagio. i called the front desk and told them i didn't like the view and the lady said "a lake and fountain view is extra but here's your new room number on the house. your key has been programmed."
that was really easy. we're on the top floor now and can watch the fountain show out of our window. i actually took edgewise's advice and fucked wendy from behind while her face was pressed against the glass so we bang to the fountain show. seriously it was one of the first things i did. thanks buddy.
the bellagio poker room is intimidating. i need to find something a little more laid back. i recognized some faces i've seen on the world series shows on ESPN. i'm a bit askared of that.
any more tips or anything are welcome. we're seeing O here at the bellagio and some other shit and are planning on going to the old strip, too.

Finally, I need a Dodgers jersey for the game tomorrow. In Kansas City, Denver, and Dallas I've always been able to find way cheaper (than stadium) Jerseys around town. Any good places to save some cash and get into some Dodgers blue?

New Zune Software installs and I can no longer access the marketplace at all. That includes access to free things like Podcasts.
The Marketplace option has literally been removed from my window. When I type in the search box, it now only searches my local files.

I took a few videos with my Iphone 3GS and for some reason, Apple, in their infinite wisdom, did not use the accelerator very well to tell the phone which way is up...
So now I have to rotate a couple of videos. Any suggestions? Something simple, since that's all I really have to do. And preferably free.

I'll be traveling to Vegas in Feb for work - my first time in the US.
Other than raging in Las Vegas, I was keen to go to NYC.
Am I out of my mind to travel to NYC for a few days, to then have to trek back to LA to fly back to Australia?
Failing that, is there somewhere else that might be worth the trip? Maybe on the West Coast?

As documented by endless posts on the EA forums and elsewhere, plus the lack of any reviews because of what I can only assume to be the issues at hand (and my own personal experience), hold off on the PC version of Need for Speed SHIFT.
It is buggy, unstable, and for many people doesn't even run at all. AT ALL. Easily the worst PC release EA has put out in a long time. :(

the hell is this?
"I recently learned that the high reduction in throughput with WEP or WPA/TKIP enabled that I have been observing is actually behavior that is mandated by the draft 802.11n spec. Draft 802.11n's higher link rates are only supposed to be enabled when either no security or WPA/AES security is in effect. Otherwise, link rates only up to 54 Mbps (802.11g) can be enabled."
