Sunday.

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009

I’ve had a good weekend.   Did two radio shows on Friday and saw “The Goods”.   Had my first fantasy football draft of the year yesterday, and got to catch up with some friends.   I even got a little tipsy, which was nice.   I did not, however, draft a K or a DEF, so that’s a little weird.   Took the dogs to White Rock today and have been chillin’ at the house.

I will be blogging a lot this week, and have some cool ideas that I hope to pull off for thejimshow.   Stay tuned.

100 sngs

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

Finished the 100 sngs from H-E-Double Hockey Sticks.   6 1sts, 14 2nds, 12 3rds.   Whatever card(s) my opponent needed, they got.   It’s this kind of run over a few days that gets you thinking shit is rigged.   Going to take a break tonight, and then hit it hard again tomorrow.

Face the Ace.

I thought the Saturday night, ‘primetime’ slot was permanent.   It was not.   The show, which to date has done horribly, now moves to weekend afternoons once a month (9/12, 10/31, 11/14, 12/12, and 1/2 as of now).   This is dumb.   The incessant rebroadcasts of Poker After Dark is dumb.   The long layoffs between seasons of HSP is dumb.    I’m going to watch WSOP next, and I’m sure ESPN will be dumb in their handling of it.   The WPT is almost dead.   I love poker, but have about given up on anyone getting poker on TV right.

Ok, so G4 has a new show I’ve mentioned a couple times.   4 online poker players are trying to win $2 million in two months.   I just watched the first episode.   I will watch every episode, but this is another poker show that has nothing to do with poker.   It’s about 4 dorks in their early to mid-twenties living in a house in Vegas for a couple months, and the hijinks that ensue.   That’s all I have to say about that.

Update.

Haven’t written in a few days.

Started this morning with a 9 game sng losing streak.   Always nice.

About to watch yesterday’s NASCAR race.

I’ll be on three bsr shows this week, a fantasy football special edition, thejimshow with a poker focus, and the Funhouse.

Posts to look forward to include a couple on televised poker.

Happy Monday!

Up a level 100.

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

100 sngs, up a level.   Ran good, especially the first 2/3.   15 1sts, 13 2nds, 11 3rds, which I’ll definitely take each 100.

After complaining earlier about a 9 sng session, I played 11 just now to finish up the 100.   2 2nds and 1 1st, and just as many beats as the earlier session.   But, somehow, I was calmer.   It’s like once I put the ridiculousness of “fairness” out of my mind and into reality (or at least as ‘real’ as this blog is), it dissolves.

Ok, off to the store to get some Tums.

Market Research.

I’m getting nodes put on my head to read my brain tomorrow morning.

Instead of trying to get a good night’s sleep, I think I’ll stay up and play sng’s and try to get an all-time high farkle score.

Frustration.

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

I just played 9 sngs.  I got a 1st and two 2nds, which means I made a few cents.   But, during those 9 sngs (made more frenectic by doing a mock ff draft at the same time), I suffered every beat possible.   I enjoy winning at poker, but back to back to back to back (ad infinitum) beats sure do cause pain.

Quick Hits.

My college football preview is out, and my NFL/fantasy show is going to be recorded Thursday.

Red Sox coming to town this weekend.   I’m going on Friday.

Moved up sng levels, and playing well combined with running good and clearing my bonus.   Good.

Gotta run, flag football tonight.

Later.

TV

Friday, August 7th, 2009

I watch too much damn TV.   I need to find a hobby that’s actually healthy for me, like running.   Ok, I’m a gonna run tomorrow.

For now, it’s off to work on trying to get ready enough for thejimshow college football preview so as not to be embarrassed tomorrow.
