Home...for now
I'm finally back from the road, but I'll be hitting the trail again in May for round 2. Same cities, minus Atlanta. And this is after I head to Hawaii at the end of the month to finally see Gina after over a month. Logging lots of miles!
Last night I played in a couple of Texas Hold 'Em poker tournaments at Andrew and Hubert's place, with widely varying results. I finished second to Andrew in the first one, which was a great result for me since Andrew dominated play the entire way, and I barely managed to survive with some fortunate all-ins. Then I busted out first in the second one, going all-in with top pair 10's and losing to pocket queens. Hubert ended up winning, though I didn't see any of it since I was playing Monkey Ball. (Hmm, coincidence that both hosts won? Gotta check for hidden cameras next time...) I wound up even on the day (my second place finish in the first tourney covered both my buy-ins), and thankfully I finished with better results than Ruth, who once again made it her mission to "just beat Chang." Not this time. :)
Tonight I'm going to see The Interpreter, which has gotten decent reviews, though the movie I'm really looking forward to seeing is Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room, about the scumbags at Enron that manipulated the California power supply and dumped a billion dollars worth of stock while publicly reporting doctored numbers to artificially inflate the price, resulting in thousands of people getting screwed out of their retirement funds and ultimately paving the way for the recall of Gray Davis, the scapegoat of the energy crisis. Can't wait for this one to come to town. It's getting great reviews. Also coming soon: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, releasing next week, and yikes, they're already selling tickets for opening night of Revenge of the Sith!

let's not forget year of the yao. did anybody watch jordan to the max? i wonder if its worth comparing
It's nice to see my name used before the word "dominated" rather than after.
why do you talk about ruth so much? isn't gina jealous?
I think the fact that I built a site to celebrate our relationship more than makes up for it.
But if you are jealous, I'll stop. :)
Forget hoops. I'm still waiting for a film dedicated solely to Barry Sanders. I could easily watch two hours of that guy juking defenders out of their shoes, breaking their ankles, and giving them whiplash.
fine, so you beat me in poker...but we both know that the game of hearts carried more weight!! so...im still winning in general =P
