My macbook is actually running, despite it not having an actual battery.
I finally decided to just go ahead and buy a charger for it, despite it being 80 bucks.
T_T
But whatever. I'm finally free of that worthless windows laptop! So Saturday was my very great friend, BJ's, birthday and he wanted to go to Jackson Rancheria. Since lady luck was smiling upon me by deciding to send me my last paycheck, i decided to take my chances.
There were a lot of mainstays there, like Kal and Jeff, and i got to meet some of BJ's best friends, like Sean and Kevin and Phil of the FYOOTCHAAA! That's "future" for those who are unable to read.
Anyways, so it was first time actually gambling in a casino so i was fairly juiced. And by fairly, i mean HELLA. I started by walking around the slots with Jeff, not being able to decide on what we wanted. And by decide i mean, lose our money. However, this eventually led to us wanting to eat. And eat we did. We walked to the food court and found this Pho place that one of the girls, Brittany, was talking about, which sounded fairly satisfying. And she said it was Buy One Get One FREE!!!
It wasn't BOGO (Buy one get one). Disappointment is one of the words that comes to mind. Turns out that the BOGO is only valid Monday through Friday. Apparently it was neither of those weekdays because we had gone to Jackson on a Saturday. I said that's fine, despite being down 14 bucks because i offered to pay because i owed Jeff much food. And i was in jovial spirits. I mean, paying full price was ok because i still got to chill with Jeff and we got to eat some mediocre, but filling, Pho tai nam, or whatever i actually ordered. And i asked for a water cup and filled it with Fanta.
;D
Meanwhile, i was looking on my phone for which table game i actually wanted to play because slots aren't really my forte. Thankfully i remembered that PieGow poker was very similar to Pusoy, which is a Filipino game where you get 13 cards and you make two poker hands and a three card hand on top. PieGow is actually 7 cards with a two card hand on top and a poker hand on the bottom, but the bottom hand must be higher than your two card hand. For instance, you need to have something like if your 7 card hand had two pairs, you could put the lower pair on top and the higher hand on bottom. Good thing i am lightweight good at Pusoy which makes me fairly good at PieGow? Anyways, so this is what we did. I wiki'd up PieGow poker and got the basic rules and played with Jeff and the Dealer. So basically it was a 15 dollar minimum and i was kind of apprehensive at first, but i decided, "Hey what the hell, it's some of my last money, but i'm totally DOWN!" so 15 dollars it was and the dealer told us what to do with our cards and etc. So the first hand i push with the dealer, but Jeff has the unlucky hand of nothing, queen high, which is not particularly great. He loses, i'm still in the game. The next hand consists of a pair of 6s and a pair of aces and a...Joker? Wtf? Is that anything? So i place it as Aces on top and 6s with the joker, expecting it to be a three of a kind. So the dealer flips my hand over and tells me it's a foul hand, and i obviously retort with...What the fuck? He tells me that the joker is always an Ace, unless it finishes a straight or a flush. So my hand is foul because i would have 6s on top and Triples of Ace on the bottom. However, he calls over the Pit boss, and asks her whether i should have a foul hand or not, and luckily, she is graceful enough to take pity on me not knowing what a fucking joker does and let's me remake the hand. SO, the dealer is like, oh shit, and i make it 6s on top and trips of aces. I win my FIRST fifteen bucks! The next hand goes like me losing to aces and trip kings. Yeesh, and then i'm playing with my last fifteen bucks pushing it until i start to win again. Awesome. I start to win enough that they ask me to take off my prescription Gucci shades because it's slightly conspicuous. I leave with about 4 times what i started with. Grrrrreat!
After telling everyone that Matthew made bank, we proceed to leave while some of BJ's other friends get there. Specifically, his friends from the bay. We return home to BJ's apartment where he gets the jovial greeting from his friends already at his apartment waiting for him to get there so the party can start.
I'm kind of in a hurry, so I'll leave out the juicy details for the next post. Sayoonara, readers.
Let's just say the party had a happy ending for me.
Finally optimistic,
