"When Fortuna spins you downward, go out to a movie and get more out of life. Ignatius was about to say this to himself; then he remembered that he went to the movies almost every night, no matter which way Fortuna was spinning."

Gambling
These guys are always gambling outside my apartment. Sometimes, when it gets too cold, they move their game into the entrance of my apartment building and it's impossible to get by them because often there are like 15 of them. They are usually either playing cards or some kind of board game with big wooden puck-things, I think it might be Chinese chess? They get really into it sometimes and it can be very noisy! This one time I wanted to take a picture so bad because this really short, scowling, bad-a$$ old man was playing cards with a cigarette in his mouth and he was just slapping the cards down as hard as he could and speaking in really aggressive Chinese. He reminded me of like Joe Pesci or someone? lol.
I'll have to get a better picture sometime...it just feels rude to get up in their faces and take a picture. That one guy didn't seem to mind though, look at his smile!

the smiling guy is standing on the fringe of the circle, they probably dont even know him.
ReplyDeleteHe is probably smiling because he is gawking just like you are, just more intrusively.
haha yeah maybe it is one of the naughty japanese businessmen
ReplyDeleteLooks like they are all taking a group whiz.
ReplyDeleteI see this ending with Joe Pesci taking you under his wing and passing on his secrets to you. Then one day you will wake up with a permanent scowl.
