action

ok, today It was raining. A little cold but i had better get used to it. I went to the end of the world museum, the yamana indian museum, coffee, bad lunch at a chinese argentian restaurant then back home. Checked mail, relaxed.

Thats what I did.

But in the back of my head.

The voice.

I determined on the way here the voice in the back of my head is sometimes Beavis. I know, it´s a little off but it makes sense...doesn´t it.


Anyway, Beavis kept going....all yesterday and all today. ¨crap table opens at 10pm¨ ¨you´re going right¨ ¨you gotta go¨ ¨whose going to play if you don´t¨

about 930 I got hungry. I put on my jacket and down the road. I found a shop selling empanandas. For 2 USD I got a ground beef and a something that tasted like seaweed pair of empanadas, crust warmed, inside cold.

I walked and ate one and a half.

I was close....2 blocks max. The casino.

I had been to the bank earlier so I was good. Nothing crazy but enough to roll and have fun. Yesterday I was crimped today I´d be looser.

I got to the door and no one was at the table. Two dealers standing there, the box laid out waiting to go to work. So I cashed in and went to the far end of the table. Then put the box up and dropped the dice. They looked surprised, like they weren´t sure what to do. This wasn´t the same crew as yesterday.

I knew the routine so I was smoother. Bet, dice, throw.

8

backed my bet up.

4
6
5
8. winner

Every throw. I listened closely. This is the best part. The call. ¨Juego Juego Juego¨ then stuff I couldn´t understand until I threw again then ¨Juego Juego Juego¨ again. All the dealers chatter.

6, place the 9
10
2
9, pays 24 on 20
What? Vegas pays 28 on a 20 dollar bet. Whatever. I like the action.
5
8
9, pays 24
6 Winnner.
The pit boss was at the far end of the table. He eyed me. I mean He LOCKED eyes on me while I rolled. I looked at him and locked eyes with him and he seemed unsure about me. I rolled ..and I won.
8 winner
9 winner
7 winner.
I made money on the numbers too. When I had made three more points after we had our eye crossing moment, He moved, across the table.....next to me. Fuck him...9 winner
Place the six, winner 20 pays 22. (vegas pays 24...don´t roll the dice at the end of the world, money is better in vegas)
I crapped out some and won some more.
I bet 30 on 6 and 8 and won. They pay 33 for 30...booooooo....
I was up and down but I rolled for half an hour, IN SPANISH! I called bets, asked odds, colored up in spanish.
End result.
After tipping the crew. I lost 2 argentinian pesos but I rolled, the way I knew I could.

I get on the boat tomorrow.
This was a good day.
