Life's relatively tame here at the Bellagio, just hangin with my fellow playas and generally enjoying living in the lap of luxury. As awesome as being on the 40th floor is though, I do sometimes venture out into the real world and participate in the excitement of commoner living. A couple weeks ago I got to see my high school (yep, Bonanza) win the state title in men's volleyball which was pretty awesome (and a little painful for my hands/throat, though this probably comes as little surprise). When I'm not kickin back with my fellow playas I've been enjoying seeing my buddies from Bonanza and beyond who are home for the summer, with the obligatory froyo or smoothie outing.
I recently got a job at the Mandalay Bay as a lifeguard, which is pretty exciting since they have a wave pool, a pool-side concert stage and a lazy river(!) all of which will hopefully compensate for the deluge of intoxicated guests that I'll have to save from themselves. I won't actually be starting until after I get back from being a counselor at this program called Nevada Boys State though, which is basically a mock government camp for rising senior guys in high school. Aside from being in Reno (definitely the uglier, lesser loved step-brother of Las Vegas) the program's actually pretty cool and surprisingly considered one of the best Boys State programs in the country (Nevada isn't used to being on top of many rankings these days aside from the drop out and foreclosure rates).
Finally I've also been pestering my mother to teach me how to cook, a project that I took up last summer but that kind of petered off with the whole not having a kitchen for 8 months thing. I've done pretty well so far, did a couple of dishes I learned last summer and even some baking! Oh and don't worry Mia I haven't forgotten that I owe you a freshly cooked meal for those delicious treats you sent me last summer!
