Kiran and Shaan's World

Today, Russell and I went to the Forum Shops at Ceasar’s Palace to pick up our customized Wii gaming systems. Mine is pink with engraved Hello Kitty figures and little paws for the controls. Russell named his “G-Unit”; mine says “Fairy Princess”. In hindsight, I probably should have gotten something a little tougher. – Kiran

While Dad’s working on ESPN’s New Year’s Eve show at the Rio Hotel, we went to a mall that has a store where all the billionaire rappers do their shopping. It’s kind of like a Sharper Image, but instead of waterproof radios, it sells teeth with spinners. Of course, I only went there for a solid gold eye patch but walked out with some diamond encrusted bees. – Kiran 

Sometimes when you win lots of money you do all sorts of crazy things like eat cereal out of diamond bowls and sleep in albino tiger skin bed sheets. Zebbie took his poker winnings from last night and bought 23 penguins. But spending $44,000 on penguins is so ridiculous. He should have just invested in a March of the Penguins DVD and spent the other $43,980 to have his toilet covered in gold. I mean who doesn’t need a gold-covered toilet? – Kiran

The Bellagio Hotel has a dress code? But I’m more comfortable dressed in sandles and a thong. And since when is a big gold medallion not considered a shirt? – Kiran

As some of you know, we are headed out to Las Vegas to join Dad for the week. I plan to put all my money down on a single number and, through a random accident of physics, win $63 billion dollars at the roulette table. Then I will proceed to swim in a pool filled with money and have brunch with my solid gold robot servants. (Solid gold diapers seem a bit extravagant Russell. I mean, solid gold diapers are important, but I don’t know if I’d say they were a necessity.)

Please check back with us for all new posts and photos early next week. Ciao everyone! – Kiran

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Last night I was actually supposed to cover The National Book Awards, but had another thing come up that I felt was more important and ultimately couldn’t make it. (Turned out there was a marathon of MacGyver re-runs on TBS.) So you can imagine the disappointment and regret I felt today when I found out I had missed a superlative after-party and a “Super Vowel” look-a-like contest. – Kiran

Mom, what do you mean you forgot my McFlurry? McDonald’s is right there. You parked your car in the drive-thru, remember? I even wrote “MILKSHAKE NOW!” on the windshield. – Kiran
