Week 6 in Review (feat. Vegas weekend)

Week 6 of Gregorian Year 2011 -- or Week 1.5 of Lunar Year 4709 for you LNY revelers -- started out as a lazy stroll,... then picked up speed over a tasty mid-week Peruvian dinner at Limon with long unseen friends,... and culminated in a race towards our weekend getaway to sin city, Las Vegas -- which brings us to...

Squeaks's Vegas Top 5:

1. Seeing the Jabbawockeez! More awesome than expected. My face is still sore from grinning so much. When's the next hip hop class?
2. Roadtrip to Hoover Dam. Far cooler than the website, especially with a ka-boom!-flappa-flappa (or blown bus tire, in non-Batman lingo) en route and engineering buds who were pretty pumped up about the tour.
3. Casino time: Slipping $1 into a 2-cent slot machine, then leaving with $28.88 and a swagger 10 minutes later. Peering over my guy's shoulder at the roulette table and whispering "lucky numbers"... that were all bad, but he still emerged with winnings. *whew*
4. Quotes by... (a) Bell Trans shuttle driver: "If you're drunk or feeling sick to your stomach, let me know. Respect yourself and respect me. Enjoy the ride." (b) TV ad for defense attorney: "Charged for the crime but don't want to do the time? You know who to call!"
5. And last but definitely not least,... Priceless time with friends. *aw shucks*

And as we tried in vain to avert our eyes from the gyrating table dancers,...
