The crowd sitting at the sushi bar tonight all seemed strangely literate. All of us who went to eat there alone got stuck sitting at the sushi bar, together. Everyone, myself included, spent the entire time saying little, drinking (wine, saki, or Asian beer), and picking at their sushi with chopsticks while reading books, or writing.

The only reason I even went to the sushi joint in the first place was because I knew if I went to drink at the irish bar near my apartment, I'd eat something with meat in it. And even though I didn't even go to mass today for Ash Wednesday, I still have these urges to not fuck up Lent too badly. Hell, I'm even giving something up that I love: Taco Bell. I was going to give up drinking wine, but then I'd probably just down more liquor mid-week in absentia.

This is the first time I've had spring break so early in a semester. I mean there's still hardened snow covering everything. Most people are (rightfully so) out of town this week, but for the guys still hanging around, we went to an Indian casino last night for our lame version of mardi gras. What was lacking in underage girls exposing themselves, was made up for by winning money. I've always sucked at playing cards, and gambling in general, but I suppose everyone gets a lucky night here and there. I'm up at least $150, and plan on putting some of it back in my quickly shrinking checking account. Although having this much cash in your wallet is kind of cool (please don't rob me).
