Second episode tonight.   Again, not much poker, but still worth the 20 minutes it took to watch.   The best part was the Tilt Room.   They have an astroturfed floor and trash bags covering the walls.   Then, they put a bunch of fruit, stuffed animals, vases, a metal trash can and other assorted goodies in there to beat the shit out of with a baseball bat.   Awesome.

Sunday.

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.

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!

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.

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.

I know I wasn’t going to post again until I have my next 100 sngs under my belt, but I thought I’d let all of you know that there won’t be an episode this week.  I didn’t do a good job of planning ahead.   My bad.   I hope everyone tunes in for my college and pro/fantasy previews the next two weeks.

Boston…

Friday, July 31st, 2009

was the first CD I ever bought.   What can I say?   I liked Amanda.

Spent a long weekend in Boston.   It was great.    There are plently of friends I have a good time with, but hangin’ with Heather and my parents is about as good as it gets.

3 bowls of chowder (although surprisingly not one trip to Legal)
1 win at Careers, a couple of cribbage wins, a 9 to 1 win, a couple Taboo wins, and lots of good times.

1 trip to a very cool Harvard Stadium to see a WPS game (0-0 tie, but cool).   No trip to Fenway this time.

1 whole boiled lobster, eaten looking at the ocean in Maine.

1 trip to the best breakfast place evah, The Golden Egg in Portsmouth, NH, followed by some shopping.

3 trips to the best ice cream place evah, Richardson’s Dairy in Middleton, MA

No Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun

A quick layover at LaGuardia, reminding us we need to do NYC sometime.

Probably a lot more I don’t remember.   But, a great, great trip.

Update.

Haven’t written much, and probably won’t again for awhile.   I’m headed to Boston on Thursday for a long weekend with my parents.   I’m definitely looking forward to it.

thejimshow had its second show this week.   I thought it sucked, but if you’re interested in my take on the final table, it’s available at bigstackradio.   I will be recording episode 3 on Tuesday night to be released by Saturday, to keep the rhythym.   This week’s show will be basketball centric.   We’ll see.

Poker.   Finished another 100 sngs a couple days ago and haven’t played since.   Despite a long cold streak in the middle, I managed to be itm 45 times (13 1sts, 14 2nds, and 18 3rds).   I’m debating moving up a level, but will probably hold off.   We’ll see.

Ordered Showtime on Thursday and am falling deeper into the world of Big Brother.   No big surprise that I enjoy the escape of it.

My workouts are almost non-existent.   I am heavier than I have ever been.   I think I’m still probably more fit due to the residual effects of my 37 weeks of workouts, but I need to get back on it, or quitting soda and cigs isn’t going to mean much.

That’s it for now.   See y’all soon.

blah

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

I have a case of the blahs.

I also have heartburn.  I remember a couple years ago, Tom, Alan, and I were riding bikes and Tom was having trouble due to heartburn.   At the time, I didn’t even know what heartburn was, but I understand now.   It sucks.  I have been getting it pretty much every night.   I just looked up heartburn prevention and it mentions cutting out nicotine and caffeine.   Ummm, well, I already did that.   Whatever.

Blahblah.   I just don’t have anything else to say.
