Here is an interesting game where I thought I was toast, but fought back and pulled out a win.
Very nice game - I don't know that I'd say that you were "toast" at any point really; worse, yes, but "toast"... I don't really think so.
The biggest thing I took from this, though, was "Dude at Laundromat" Really???!!!! There was a guy you played at the laundromat who you played this high quality of a game of chess with???? I need to move to your neighbourhood...
Why didn't white castle to Queenside?And 2 Rooks are worth a little more than a Queen.P=1 N=3 B=3 R=5 Q=9 K=The game

No no no no no. You have to look at positional considerations, it always matters what the position is. In this particular postion, the Queen is MUCH stronger than the rooks, at the very least from a practical standpoint, because the rooks are out of position and unable to defend their king, which is under enormous fire.
Nice win, but I didn't think you were losing at any point.
