1. In the fall, a friend of mine made a prop bet against me that he could jump over a drink cart in the pendleton poker room, which he cleared with ease. This spring, another guy made a prop bet against the two of us that he could jump over TWO poker tables positioned back to back. I have video of his attempt, it was incredible, as failures go. Ill ( Read more... )

Pendleton was a blast. Too much to get into now in one post.

Instead, I will talk about googling myself. When I do, its not very satisfying. I get something about the fact that I was a national merit scholar semifinalist, and then some stuff about my mothers anthropological research. That and my facebook page.

Why nothing about poker? Ive cashed in ( Read more... )

I lost my cell phone this morning. I had it at 3 AM when I was at snoqualmie casino. I left the casino at 4:30 AM. Around 6 Am at my house, I no longer had it. Ive called the number and looked around my house. Ive checked my car. Ive called the casino's security which handles lost and found, and had them check with the poker room. No dice (NPI ( Read more... )

you know, this isnt much of an LJ post, but I thought Id get this down. I only seem to post when Im excited or upset about something. But I thought Id just document the fact that I am now, and have been for a pretty long time now, really happy. It hasnt always been this way, and it probably wont always be this way, but I like my life. Its by no ( Read more... )

playing half-life 2 makes me feel queasy in my stomach. Literally. Almost to the point of nausea (if youre wondering why I didnt stop before this point, it took me a long time to figure out that it was a computer game causing it).

So yeah, thats really fucking weird.

Life is delightful. Went rock climbing, then went to the casino, but the list was too long, so I went to the rosebud and met up with Amanda, Sean, and Katie.  Now I am in my home. Deep in my home. I am doing the following things. 1) Watching the show High Stakes Poker on pokertube. 2) Installing the Orange Box on my computer 3) Defeating morons at ( Read more... )

Been watching "lie to me" on hulu recently. Its pretty fucking excellent. For those who dont know, its about a guy who uses the science of facial expressions and other "tells" to solve various types of cases for governmental organizations and other private clients. I konw that it sounds almost as hokey as NUMB3RS where they use mathematical ( Read more... )

My mother is in India right now. After that shes moving on to Thailand and then Japan. Shes offered to bring me back anything I want (within reason) from one of those places. Jokes about thai prostitutes aside, what do I want? What would you want?

So, Saturday went pretty much as I said it would. We went to venice beach, and it was incredible. Sunny, 70 degrees, beautiful blue ocean, warm white sand. After a while you stop enjoying the natural beauty and devolve to people watching; the gorgeous girls, the person on stilts dressed up like a tree, the body builder in a speedo who is contact ( Read more... )

Ben and I set off today to climb at Hangar 18 in riverside. So we get directions from google, drive out there, and find that the directions have taken us to a flying school... literally to "hangar 18" in riverside california. Eventually we get our shit straightened out and find the place, and its amazing. Like the other place we climbed in arcadia ( Read more... )
