I’m hung over. It’s not pretty. Last night I got very, very drunk, and had to induce vomiting, three times.

Today I had to go to work, and felt like shit all day.

I’m not a drinker, and as a result the few times I do drink I totally don’t know my limits.

In other news, I ( Read more... )

I played in two B&M tournaments today. Got 15th place in the first one, out of about 50 people, which ain’t terrible, but it isn’t anything to brag about, either. I’d been playing very conservatively the whole time, really playing my cards and not showing a whole lot of ( Read more... )

Not here, anyway.

And I’d like to. Despite having people to talk to, I think everyone who blogs understands the sort of unique ( Read more... )

Fuck yeah!

This breaks me about even from all my losings on poker. So I’m definitely not profitable just yet, but I find this to be promising.

I had to destroy 89 other people to earn this money in a tournament. For the first 45 minutes or so of the game I was doing pretty ( Read more... )

Stupid internetses! Always fucking with me productivities!

I came home at like midnight so I could get to the writing. Did I get to the writing? No!

Why? Distracted by a conversation with a hardcore Christian I knew way back in high school who was explaining to me why her ( Read more... )

I discovered something interesting tonight. I’ve been making a couple posts here and there about my losses in online poker tournaments, specifically about how I’m constantly fucked over by making smart plays and then losing out to somebody lucky on the draw. Because online ( Read more... )

My goal was to hit a 10-minute mile and work up to a 175 bench by Sunday.
