Poker Tomorrow

Well, we are planning another poker night tomorrow night. Gus, Dan, Molly, myself and 2 unsuspecting people will sit down for poker. What this really means is that I can talk trash about being the big winner for another 24 hours. After that I will have lost tomorrow and will be unable to do so. I truly don’t think lightning strikes twice, so I don’t think I will win. Their is also the aspect of me not thinking I will win gives me what I call the “I don’t give a fuck” attitude. With that attitude I tend to to OK! Yes I have a twisted mind…

Poker, Poker, Poker

The anticipated poker game finally came to pass. We gave up on Gus organizing it. When Dan said he had a game going on last night a few of us joined up. We had Dan, Gus, Molly, Miguel, Daniel, two of Dan’s friends and myself. They play Texas Hold-um. It is different kind of poker than I am used to. Their is allot of shared cards. It is interesting. Dan and Gus were trying to explain the game a bit to me Thursday afternoon. Not sure if it helped, but I did end up being the big winner last night. They play tournament style. You can buy more chips twice. it is a very structured game. I was down allot in the beginning after loosing a good hand to Gus. I bought back in and then won like the next hand with allot of winnings. I stayed up their in the money rankings until the end. It was weird. I didn’t think I would win. I thought for sure I would make some stupid decision and blow my money. Turns out I had some more good wins, and a few not so horrible losses. I always liked poker. I like it allot more when I win. I hope to play again soon.

On another poker note. I think molly will kill miguel today. He was trash talking all night, and she was not happy about it. Miguel, you need to learn the etiquette of poker. Never look at someone’s thrown away cards, even if you are not playing. It felt good to take him down. The other players were cool and I would play against them anytime.

I just hope I don’t have beginners luck and suck for the next 100 times I play!

I didn’t get home till after 1AM. I am now tired. I hope to make today a light day.

Softball hurts

I ended up playing softball friday. It was very cold and slightly rainy. I only hit, I didn’t feel up to fielding. I am way out of shape after all. Turns out I did ok. I had 2 hits, and got out on a pop fly. I had one run. As Gus pointed out I did better than Keith who is athletic allot more than I am!

We went to some japanese bar after the game. It was nice. I hurt really bad this morning. Not used to any sport recently. Running in doc martin shoes is not a good idea either.

Some people were going to a karaoke bar after the first bar. I ended up taking off then. I don’t need to pay a cover to hear bad singers sing to me.

Poker plans for today were canceled. Not sure why, but John said he is trying to get a game with his brother and some guys next weekend. I told him I was in if he could get a game going.

I ended up working a bit today. I also slept late. that is always nice on a weekend. I went over to my parents for dinner. My aunt gale was over. I haven’t seen her in ages, probably since my sister’s wedding. Also my sister and morgan were over. Morgan is a cranky baby. I think she is just gassy. I got to feed her. it went well. I rate not getting puked on as a passing grade. She makes the funniest faces when she is sleeping. Every time I see her napping I think of the Barenaked ladies song “when you dream”. it is about what does a baby actually think about when they sleep. It is so funny, but true. You should give it a listen.

My dad wants to goto bestbuy tomorrow. That will be a loss of money for me. I always buy something when I go to that place. he needs to return a DVD or something.

I ordered from an online food delivery service called Freshdirect. A few people told me about it. Dan at work used it and thinks it is great. I got $50 in free steaks and they will deliver on sunday night. I will let you know how it goes. Still a few things I need to get at the regular grocery store that I couldn’t get online. But this seems like a great first step to no more food shopping.

Poker finally

So I have been waiting since december to do poker with friends at work. Still nothing going on with that. So I was surprised when my friend John IM’d me today asking if I wanted to play poker this weekend. I think I just spoke about him. He just moved back from New Orleans after only living down there since january. I haven’t played in a while, but I used to play in high school so I told him I was in.

Speaking of New Orleans friends, I spoke with jayson like 3 times last week, and then he disappears again. I left 2 voice messages for him and no response. This reminds me of most of college for me. I would go years without speaking to him and then he would show up. On the weird disappearing friend front, I don’t know what is up with Jori either. Not sure if she actually was moving or not. I need to call her. I feel bad that I missed her birthday party in april. I didn’t speak about that in the blog yet. Jori is a long story. I will talk about it at some point, but not right now.

My dentist appointment went ok I guess. he only drilled 2 teeth. He will do more in 2 weeks. My dentist also said that he won’t even fill some cavities. All of them are so small that he claims wont get much worse in 2 years. So why drill now when he doesn’t have to. I trust him so I wait. I just wished he did all 4 teeth that he wanted to work on in one procedure. Now I need to go back. I hate not feeling my face for 4 hours after he is done. The not being able to talk is also bad.
