Motorcity Casino

I hit up Detroit tonight.  I left at around 8:30 for a 2 hour drive to the Motorcity.  I’m not sure why.  I guess that I was bored.  I had taken a clonazepam at around two in the afternoon and then slept until six so I had a bunch of energy (now long since gone).

My route:

Next time I’ll take the 401.  The 402 is really boring.

Here’s a few snapshots.

Just driving down the road.  I don’t know where exactly that is.

Same thing.

Some random gas station that I stopped at to have a cigarette.  I think it was closed.

The toll bridge to get in to the US?

That might have been around the time I got lonely and called up Aurashu.  We had a good convo.  She wants my babies, I can tell.

The American border guard was really nice and didn’t hassle me at all.  Just took my passport, asked what my business was and told me to have a good night.  Much ado about nothing it seems.

On the lonely road.

My first American convenience store!  The dude who worked there kept calling me "guy."

That’s where I picked up these babies:

P.S. Americans cigarettes taste like shit.

I made it to the casino!  A helluva lot more snazzy than any of the ones I’ve been to before.

So I went in and withdrew a hundred dollars from the ATM.  I then promptly lost it.  The blackjack tables had a $15 minimum!  What kind of bullshit is that?  In such a poor city you’d think that they’d have a $1 minimum table.  Or even 25 cents.  But no.  So I went and cashed $45 in chips, lost it in three hands, went and cashed $30 in chips, lost it in three hands (I won once then doubled the next time).  After that I had no reason to stick around so I made my way back out and to my car.

The bridge once again, this time going back to Canada.  The Canadian border guard was an asshole.  I liked the American one way better.

After that it was just two hours of driving until I got home.  I had a crazy ass snow storm to drive through though.  I passed three separate cars in the median ditch on the highway, two of them with police and ambulance surrounding them.  I almost lost control too because I didn’t realise how icy the roads were.  On the way back out of Detroit some woman in a Jeep spun out in front of me and I had to avoid smashing into her.  Crazy times.

I made like five different videos that I’ll upload later but they pretty much just recount everything that I wrote in this entry so they’re probably not worth watching.  They’ll be up on my Youtube channel by the end of tomorrow.  Okay.  Right now I must sleep.

Farewell.

Oh yes.  I need a new destination.  New York?  Possibly Montreal.  I’ve heard that it’s a beautiful city.  Only time will tell.

    Montreal is not very cool.. I dislike Quebec a lot. I asked these people if they had a washroom I could use at a gas station and they looked at me like “Hah she’s english. She sucks”. I was thinking how rude. Be careful driving there.. it’s scary even when you’re the passenger.
