Billies Casino is no more.

Today was the final day of the fixes for the release that will happen tomorrow night. I got a new bug assigned to me today and got it closed out with about five lines of code. Probably the easiest bug I had to fix. But there really wasn't a lot to do today. I also got the fires dealing with the MI adjustments put out. There were no problems, just people who thought there was a problem.

I spoke with Chris for a while about cafepress and my cartoons for the warehouse website. I hope people will start to go to it and use it.

After I left work I was supposed to go to softball practice. But Dave called and we planned on seeing Star Wars Episode III. I had already told them I would not be at practice, so they were not expecting me. So I skipped it and met up with Dave to see the movie. Peter also came down and we watched the movie.

It is funny, there is something about Anakin and the look, the struggle, the power, and the issues that I totally identify with. He is a big time ten-six-seven, but not just based on looks. I argue many times that someone can be made hotter because of other factors. Like athletic ability and other factors. I don't know what it is about Anakin. I normally do not like guys with long hair. And I suppose that he would be hotter with short hair, but even so, I see past the hair and look at other things and see something that is really interesting. I wish I could put a finger on it with him, but I cannot. All I know is that I get the fluttery feeling in the heart when he makes that one decision and makes that action that forces his hand.

This may seem weird, but it could be the idea of his death, not a physical death, but a death of who he is and his transformation. I was likening it to someone who spends their whole life hiding a secret about themselves. Then in a single moment in time the whole world they made around themselves and the hiding of who they really are comes tumbling down with one action.

In the whole scheme of things, it really is not such a big deal. Life goes on. Crap happens. But before that moment, you would fear that moment happening with all your life, but then it happens and you live through it. It is the rebirth of who you are.

After the movie we stood in the parking lot talking for about twenty minutes, but Peter had to head home and work on his computer. Dave and I spoke some more before heading to the casino down the road called the Silver Dollar. We would have gone to Billies, but it appears that it has closed its door. Dave and I are saddened by it. Billies was a nice place to go to, with nice people working there. I wish that had remained open.

Dave and I hung out at the Silver Dollar for a while. We got some food there and Dave played some cards. We left around one-thirty in the morning. I went home and watched a TV show before going to bed. I was so tired. I should have gone to bed a lot earlier as I have to be up at seven-thirty tomorrow morning for softball.
