Atlantic City

Took a completely spontanious trip to AC this sunday. Won 50 cents on the video poker, didn't loose money. And when I say "won", I'm not counting the five bucks of Andy's money that I lost of nickle slot.

Due to the Union protests right outside the casinoes, the entire place was empty. we went to the Sands(ring a ding ding), whose Union was not striking. I refused to cross a picket line.

Had the best pizza ever. It's surprising. It's this little dingy joint right on the boardwalk and looks like it would stomach destryoing greasy food just like every dingy joint in the boardwalk. But the sauce is crushed tomatoes with big chunkcs of garlic. Nothing out of a can. Delicious. Oh, and that was followed by funnel cake. Yum.

And I bought a tweed hat. It's cute. Nearly bought a very nice knock-off Coach bag. It even had serial numbers on the inside, so it's a good fake,but the "leather" felt more that vinyl. The guy want $35, which was like $10 too much. And he wouldn't be talked down so I walked away. There's always more knock-offs around the corner.

Saw Shaun of the Dead. Best zombie movie I've ever seen. Dead funny, too. Question, though. In the movie, Shaun drinks a Diet Coke. Andy says that there's no such thing as Diet Coke in England because in all his experience (2 days in Oxford) he only saw Coke Light. I produced from my scrapbook a photo of Jenny drinking a Diet Coke and eating a package of gummy bears. He swears by the Coke Light, though. So Clare will need to straighten this out. What is Coke Light? Is there still Diet Coke? Enlighten us.

Yeah, that was my holiday weekend.
