no updates, poker

No updates for a while, and still no updates. So I'll just take a picture of the poker chart and call it an update.



And here's another I just made that looks the same, but has another chart showing the average every 10 days.



The first spike around day 23 is due to me switching to cash games instead of tournament games. The spike on day 73 and today are due to me going back to playing tournament games, but instead of the $1 games it's the $5 games.

Not up to the challenge

The weather is horrible. There's snow everywhere, and it's really cold. I heard on the radio that it's the biggest snow storm in the last quarter century. Schools may be closed, but then again, they may not. It doesn't look so bad right now, but I guess the snow storm is coming. And then it'll get really really cold, the road conditions will be horrible, and it'll just be a pain to go outside.

And Futureshop is having an event where they're having a minimum of 10 XBOX-360's in each store. Minimum of 10, which probably means a maximum of around 12-15. My dad brought it up the other day, and that sounds mighty tempting now. I was going to get one in March anyway (hopefully), but if I can get one now, it'll be great.

So, bad weather, low probability of getting it. Having to wait in line to get into the store, in the cold, cold weather. Probably.

Who is brave enough for this? Who will think they will beat the odds and get one? Are people sleeping outside the building yet?

Oh god... well, I don't think I'll be going. Bad weather sucks, it's probably not worth it, and I guess I'm just not as rabid crazy as some other people out there. Heh.

The Prettyness of Presents

Presents are pretty. Christmas really is a wonderful time of year. Sure, it’s full of consumerism or commercialism and all that crap; at one end it’s all about money, at the other end it really is pretty and heartwarming.

I just wrapped a present, a small cubic 10cm package. I used shiny silver and light blue wrapping paper, with symbols of stars and snowflakes and other Christmas-y things. It’s nice and shiny, and… elegant. It doesn’t look kiddy. And to top it off, a nice red bow on top. The wrapping job is okay, I did it myself…

Aww, unfortunately, this present isn’t for me… it’s just so pretty now though. I should take a picture of it before I depart with it… It’s… just so pretty.

Long Story Short

Okay, so the other blog is busy doing preview cards for our Magic thing. So what have I been doing? Long story short:

- Rented a PS2 RPG game. It's a week-long rental, which means it's a 2-week-long rental. I've got 9 more days with it, and I've played it for about 24 hours now. Actually, I was doing research on Duy's Christmas present, but I don't think this is the game. It's more of a rental-game than a buy-game.

- Since I rented the game, haven't played Katamari Damacy or Ninja Gaiden lately.

- Watched Mr. and Mrs. Smith. If David is reading this, he *may* enjoy it. And I wouldn't be surprised if it came up on W network. Anyway, everyone keeps telling me it's a bad movie, but I still wanted to see it - so naturally I had bad expectations, and naturally the movie turns out better when you have that. So in short, I liked the movie. I'd write a longer review on my blog later on, but basically everyone kept saying there was no chemistry between the Mr. and Mrs. But it's.. the movie is like flowing, oozing with Celebrity power, just because of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. I didn't think she was so pretty before, but yeah... she is :) Anyway, with all the commercials and all that, it kinda adds a suspense-thing to the movie, because you know what's going to happen, you just wonder how it'll turn out and when.

So - the movie seems really good because it's Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie - since they're a real couple, you can watch the movie and pretend that's like, how it is in real life since they are a couple like that... .... or something. It adds to the movie.

- I signed up for some exercise package thingy. It should arrive here sometime around Christmas, and then maybe if I follow the program then... well, we'll see. As Ray said on his blog, one way to force yourself to exercise is to pay someone money. And... there we go.

- Christmas Shopping... umm... I'm getting Duy a game, I'm getting me a game, I think I'll ask Duy to pool our money together so we can get my sis an iPod nano. Not sure about the parenthesis yet (parents, sometimes I add syllables to words, got that from Alan)..

- Poker this, poker that.. so I've reached my new high, and now I'm going waaay down from there... so... it's no good. Oh yeah, I did have a few poker accounts before, with Empirepoker and Tigergaming - I finally took out all my money from Empirepoker so I'm done with EP, and I transferred the money to my Ultimatebet account. I hope Ray joins ultimatebet so I can get some more bonus money...

- Watching King Kong with my uncle and parents on Wednesday.

That was a pretty long update. Then again, I haven't updated for a week.

New High

Do you Tune out Music?

Are you one of those people that listen to CDs while working or whatever, or are you able to listen to 1 track over and over? Would you listen to a 4-minute track or a 1-minute track? And, do you tune out your music?

Not sure why I’m asking. But I do all the time; I put on a 1-minute track, and eventually 40 minutes later it’s still on repeat and I tuned it out – haven’t noticed it was on at all. And I guess that’s good.
