Josh Homme goes nucking futs at a fan

finally....

So last night saw my first win in a long time of a big house game. To add icing to the cake, I also won the traditional game of HellKat that followed the big game. And even after repaying my "skin debt" to Buck I was still left with a decent sum of cash. At one point I went all-in, and as per the norm, Cob saw my raise. But for once I ended up pwning Cob's hand on the all-in. Cob was annoyed at the defeat, as ya would be, but (if Cob is reading this I ain't gloating) it was nice for me to be on the other side of the fence for once and defeating his all in. Let's hope this current form continues for a while. My SNG quest was also decent yesterday. Won a $1 SNG boosting my account by an awesome $4. A few more of these and the account will be in good shape again.

Old news, but Dr.Pepper throws down the gauntlet to Axl Rose.

Firefox v.3 released.


Got to check out the pilot episode of HBO's new vampire series, True Blood. This has good potential and will be worth checking out when it airs in a few months time. Also took a look at Fringe, the latest offering from JJ Abrams. I will also be tuning in to this one when it airs later in the year.

The aftermath....

Survived the perils of Friday the 13th and a session in Kavo's. Some highlights of the night can be found here.

New Coldplay album, Viva la Vida, is worth a listen. The title track, along with Yes! (+hidden track) stood out initially, will give it a few more spins anyway. Also listening to: A Place To Bury Strangers, and Deerhunter. On a shoegazing vibe today....

No news is good news....or is it?

The SNG quest has been a disaster today, I've lost four $1 sngs so far. Going to play one more shortly, and if I get pwned again I'm throwing my hat at it for today.
Finished 3rd in that one, so gonna hit up another $1.
Des' unlucky hand.

Friday the 13th!!!

Friday the 13th.....oooooh. I'll be spending my day dancing under ladders while smashing a few mirrors....good times.

Well, the tools from NTL made a mess of it again... Return back to the gaff to find an NTL card left stating they called but "could not gain access". Thing is, they were meant to call me prior to their arrival to give around an hour's notice...no call. So, thanks for the roach. Jerks. One of the Eircom piggybacks has popped up this morning. Fingers crossed it will still be up when I return so I can get my SNG on!

In poker news, my fortunes have taken a turn for the better. I got to the final of the last big house game (but got pwned by Buck), and have won 2 live HellKats also. The big win is coming....

Giraffe milk has just been pronounced as kosher.

I've just launched my Flickr Photostream. It will be an ongoing "work in progress".

Downtime

The internet connection is down in the gaff at the moment, scuppering any downloads and also my SNG poker quest. This may be a good thing, as my luck in poker has gone to hell. Still haven't won a live house game.... The NTL "engineer" is being dispatched to the gaff on Thursday, so hopefully all will be back to normal then.....

Well not too much to report on the poker front, only one live house game this week....which, big surprise, I did not win. Having a very bad poker time these days, my game hasn't gone to shit it's just unlucky calls and being dealt garbage cards all the time. Hopefully it will pass before I bankrupt myself. The online SNG quest has been scuppered too, due to the internet connection(s) in the house going to pot. Even my Eircom piggybacks have abandoned me.....
