Ocean’s 13 Opens at CineVegas
Last night Las Vegas enjoyed a new level of what has become something of a norm for our little town… As of late, Hollywood sees Las Vegas not only as it’s new “back lot” where so much film and television production happens, but we’ve been seeing premieres of films more regularly, and in this particular case, a major one: Ocean’s 13 premiering at CineVegas at The Palms.
Along with a number of stars from the film, a host of other celebrities in town for CineVegas were out in full force for the opening.

The Weather Out Here
It’s never lost on me; it never gets old. The place I call home has to have the most fantastic weather of any major city on earth.

The Las Vegas Strip As a Treadmill
There’s almost nothing as mind-numbing and seemingly time-wasting as hitting the gym in your complex to go play hamster-on-a-wheel for an hour trying to burn a few extra calories, not to me at least. My brain has a marvelous way of getting hyper-bored in blazingly fast fashion and the distractions seem limitless. I think about everything I haven’t done that day, what’s on television, where I’d rather be, who I’d rather be with, and, probably what I want for dinner. It’s just not really conducive to the task at hand. I can’t take the monotony.
