Filler Post

Too busy to post past week or so. Finishing a class this week; will have more time after that (although I start a new one the very next day). Went to the Muckleshoot casino Saturday night with a couple of friends from work. I spent $20 on gambling and had a club soda with lime. Woo. I'm a party animal.

The casino was fun in that in had good live bands and a nice atmopshere in general, but I can't stand breathing air that's polluted with cigarette smoke. I'm starting to scare myself with what a militant anti-smoker I am becoming. It amazes me when I see young people smoking. Do they say to themselves "I want to spend a thousand dollars a year on a habit that will make me smell disgusting, render me repuslive to the opposite sex, and quite possibly kill me? Great idea, I think I'll start smoking!" Yes, I know. I was a smoker off and on in college. But that was when you could still smoke in restaurants and I think even on planes. There just seems to be an even clearer message now that smoking is so toxic and disgusting that if you must engage in your filthy habit please do so at least ten yards from any public building. I doubt that casinos will ever be completely smoke free- although though I do give Muckleshoot credit for having a smaller, completely non-smoking facility across the parking lot (but that's not where the band and all the fun stuff was).
