America Greatest Hits (Full Album) [Official Video]

We flew to Las Vegas last weekend to see an America concert. The concert was fine, but Las Vegas is nuts. We stayed in a room on the 39th floor of the Resort Worlds Hilton. The room was pretty nice, but finding a place to eat at 9PM was a bit of a pain. There are probably a dozen restaurants on the main floor, but it's a long walk from one end to the other and we were already beat. There was a food court that looked like it might have some decent food, but you need to order off of touch screen that wants your name, your number, and a laundry list of bullshit. Or you could use the app on your phone. Fuck that. We already tried using the phone to check in and that did not work at all. We ended up at the Dawg House where giant burgers were $20 and beers were $15. There was a giant (30 feet wide?) TV screen showing a football game between the Buffalo Bills and the Detroit Lions. What the heck is this? I am used to people watching sporting events involving teams the people care about. Did we have a big influx of people from the midwest? No, dummy, nobody here cares about the teams, all they care about it whether they can beat the odds and win some money. And of course, most of them won't. The only winner is the house, but they still manage to suck in a zillion fools every day.

The Cleaning Lady - Max Series

The Cleaning Lady (FOX) Trailer HD - Elodie Yung series
TV Promos

Cambodian woman doctor from the Philippines is staying in Las Vegas with her sister waiting for her son to be admitted to a gene therapy treatment program. Her visa has expired so she is working with her sister as a cleaning lady, since that is only kind of work they can get since they are both illegal aliens.

She is cleaning the restrooms in a warehouse when a gangster is shot dead on the premises. She is discovered and offers to clean up the mess and talks herself into a new job, working for a gangster.

The show is basically bi-polar: on one hand we have the precarious existence of illegal aliens trying get by, working menial jobs in Las Vegas, along with the heartbreak of having a five year old kid who is liable to die at any moment. I supposed some people enjoy this, me, I've had enough. On the other hand we have our girl stuck between working for a bunch of Armenians gangsters and the FBI trying to use her as an informant. There is no really mystery here, no puzzles to solve. The only mystery is how she is going to get out of her predicament of the moment.
