Token Graveyard

I wonder why no one raises Cain about the concept of tokens. Its really a thinly veiled scam that has for some reason been turned into standard practice. I have a ceramic kangaroo back at the house filled with an assortment of unused casino chips and miscellaneous tokens. There is also a jade ring in there for some reason. Its perhaps worth a couple bills, the coinage not the kangaroo or the ring. What a waste. I bring this up because the hotel here uses ice machine tokens, and now I am anticipating being left with a couple dollars worth of useless coin when I return home. This speaks volumes about where I am staying, but I feel this environment gives me the juice I need to finish the script. As far as that is concerned, well I have been ordering a lot of tuna fish sandwiches from room service. They are actually quite delicious, but they do nothing for the third act. Have faith, Diary.
