Sick

Date: Tue, Nov 11, 2008

Hoy, your comments? This was a $10+1 KO Turbo 90-person SnG. At the time, I was 3rd in chips, though I'd only collected one bounty (got most of my stack with KK via a Big Stack who pushed his flush draw and missed). The luckbox with the one-outer had just called off his entire tourney pre-flop with QJo (and was ahead!) to take the chip lead and this put him a good 13K over me and 2nd place

Review

Date: Fri, Nov 7, 2008

I've been watching Season One of Mad Men on the iTunes, whilst simultaneously DVR-ing Season Two. I was not that impressed after three episodes and I will admit part of the problem was the continuous smoking put me on Tobacco Tilt. I felt like it was popular simply because of the gimmick of being set in 1960. To be certain, the design and shocking difference in societal standards provide

Bust

Date: Thu, Nov 6, 2008

So far I've written a blog post every day for the month of November and am but 800 words behind the pace for NaNoWriMo (with 10 hours left in the day, so no problemo there as I've been on a bit of a roll the last two days), so I suppose the two are complimenting each other quite well. So far, so good, but for the fact it's cutting into my drinking time. Not that I can't stop drinking for an

Hangover

Date: Wed, Nov 5, 2008

For my entire adult life, I have been, politically, a conservative. By my measure, anyway. Hard to know what that really means any more and I identify not at all with the Republican Party as presently constructed. My political beliefs are rooted in fiscal responsibility, a minimum of government intervention and self-reliance. At the same time, I've supported many socially-conscious issues, with

Congratulations Election Winners

Now get to work. Tax legislation in the last 30 years has consistently and overwhelmingly switched the tax burden from monied interests to the average citizen. Start by fixing that.

Gooooooooooooooooooal!

Date: Mon, Nov 3, 2008

AJ scored his first goal this Saturday. It was a monumental moment. He'd not really come close before, but the last three weeks, he's been playing with some new-found confidence. Like it finally clicked that he could play this game. Naturally, it's coaching. He'd had a couple chances prior, one which he hit with his handbag right at the 'keeper and the second that required a nice save. We were

Sex on Fire

Date: Sun, Nov 2, 2008

No, not the Kings of Leon song. Here's what happened: The jalapenos on the nachos were exceptionally hot. Not pickled. Freshly cut. I only ate two, and warned others as to their eye-watering potency. Then I went to the toilet and didn't wash the spicy residue from my fingers before...you know...handling myself. The burn brought back memories of that time in Bangkok.

And Away I Go...

Date: Sat, Nov 1, 2008

387 words before breakfast. Go me. Carmen was different. Dark as the irrigated earth. She had this unruly tangle of black hair that she would absently push off her forehead as it swirled about her in the desert wind. Eyes as black as olives and just as round that she’d shade with her long eyelashes, rarely looking straight at me, but rather from underneath, like a spy, and that shy smile, which

Can't Talk. Writing.

Date: Fri, Oct 31, 2008

It might seem humorous that a guy who posts once every three weeks is committing to write 50K words next month. You'd be entirely valid for thinking so. But I do my best work under deadline pressure. And I like people to bet against me. Remember that time I rolled 8 straight points because of the guy with the No Pass Line fetish. Oh yeah. You know what happened to him. All about the focus people

You Boys

Cross-posted to Offsprung. The town is small. One main road, at the head of which sits the high school. As you go east, you pass four or five bars until it comes to an end at the Baptist church, the biggest building in town. I've been coming to this rural Illinois area for my entire life. The last time I was there was nearly three years ago. The occasion then was my grandparents' 65th wedding

In Which I Explain Something Relatively Meaningless in a Roundabout Way

Date: Tue, Oct 14, 2008

Does Matty Stairs' home run last night avenge Dennis Eckersley? I'm going to choose "Yes." The thought process is like this. Stairs is one of my all-time favorite Oakland A's. In fact, back in the late '90s, even though they sucked (and were frequently called the "Triple A's" by yours truly) the Beer League Softball nature of the club (Stairs, John Jaha and a Jason Giambi fueled every bit as

Foreshadowing and Truckin'

One can never predict what the future holds, but I'm girding for big fun this weekend. It will feature: a) My favorite city (all-time) b) My favorite band (current) in a GA format at House of Blues c) My favorite mexican restaurant (all-time) d) My favorite traveling companion (current) e) A pimp hotel within two blocks of my favorite mexican restaurant, the venue and smack dab in the middle of

Vanish

Date: Wed, Oct 8, 2008

She came out, sat across from him in the shadows, crimson glow in her cheeks from the wine, a burning color, same as that which had gone out of her eyes, even in the firelight. Insomnia, she said, which set off alarms in his gut. He's heard this before. Lies to cover lies, grabbing for a branch hanging over the swirling rapids, any one will do. He held his breath and waited. She picked at the
