train from san jose to the city...

It takes about 100 minutes.

One can drink alcohol on the ride.

And you can eat on the train.

I'm riding on it now and it's boring as hell...

Fuck, I wish I had my headphones on me...

resort charges @ vegas hotels...

Just stayed @ Mandalay Bay and their resort charge was $16.80. Which includes wifi in room wifi, cardio room access, daily weekday USA Today which can be picked up @ Rangoon, the Store, and The Lobby store by showing your room key, local and 800 number calls(big fucking deal, and outgoing faxes and boarding passes in the Business Center.

So when you get a good rate @ Mandalay Bay, remember to factor in the resort fee. Some of the hotel/casinos don't charge a resort fee. And the Las Vegas hotel tax is 12%.

josh duhamel...

The cat was kicked off a plane for refusing to turn off his Crackberry...

I met him @ Sundance last January and seemed like a nice kid...

However, people need to get over themselves and turn their fucking cellphones off before takeoff...

By the way, Fergie didn't look very good in person...

leaving las vegas...

Most of the time, I can't wait to blow Dodge... But this trip, I wouldn't mind sticking around another couple of days...

mandalay bay...

Definitely one of my favorite places to stay in LV...

pat burrell...

I'm surprised the Giants are bringing Burrell back for another season, but I'm happy they did...

miguel tejada...

He's past his prime, but the Giants needed a shortstop after Juan Uribe signed with the Dodgers and World Series MVP Edgar Renteria's option wasn't picked up.

It's a stop gap and we'll see if Miggie can hit in AT&T Park.
