Ohmigod, movie deal! And vegas!

I call this the “Hi, I spend too much time at the gym” shot.

My brother got cast in a movie with Kim Basinger! Ok, so he’s doomed to the asian gangster stereotype role but still… YAY! I might actually get to go to a regular movie theater to see him as opposed to hunting for an art house theater or the B movie horror section at Blockbuster. LOL

I think the best part about the whole thing was the director asked them last week to grow as much facial hair as possible before they started filming next week. I was dying over that one… ok, people thought Leonard was shaving his legs in HS cause he had like no hair. (I’m sure he’s thrilled I’m posting this publicly.) Maybe, if they had asked him 3 months ago… I dunno though. =D

‘Kay, enough embarrassing of the sibling…

I spent the past weekend in Las Vegas visiting tristencitrine and joshuaaaaaa. As a surprise added bonus, rurouni_jedi and g_mal were also there, so we got to see them which was yay since I hadn’t seen them in forever!

We didn’t get to spend too much time on the strip but we did of course go to the Star Trek Experience. (Hi, we’re nerds.) The new borg ride was somewhat ruined for us after tristencitrine told us the guy leading it used to be a gondolier at the Venetian that she worked with. I just couldn’t take him seriously in the star trek uniform after that.

We also went to see Cirque du Soleil’s Ka which was phenomenal. I have seen a ridiculous number of cirque shows and this one is my absolute favorite. It was so beautiful and having a real storyline helped me stay really attached to what was going on. And the sets… !ASDF!#@%!!!!! Ohmigod whomever designed them should be designing rockets for NASA.

I managed to locate the Peking Opera people in the cast that I kinda know. Not that it was hard. ^^; You can usually spot Peking Opera trained people from a mile away.

Anyways, if you’re ever in Vegas, I highly recommend it! The theater is really not all that big either so you can get the cheapest seats and still have a great view.

And yes we gambled. I lost TWO dollars on the slot machines. One of which was Judy’s but she won $120 so I don’t think I’ll pay her back. =D
