Insomnia 2: Tha Max

If you ain't heard it already, this album is well worth a listen.....

Last night we had what was the smallest game of poker for as long as I can remember. 4 players. Colly and myself ended up dancing in the final.... I bottled an A8 and folded to Colly's all-in. He had 4's and we ghost played the hand...it turned out I would've won the game had I called.... The chips went back and forth for a while, but eventually Colly emerged to scoop the win. Inspired thinking by Des has introduced a system that will make all future games a lot faster....all I will say is "two decks".
After the poker, bed time, where the insomnia struck again. It seems to always kick in on Wednesdays for some weird reason. The guts of an hour's sleep is all I've had, not too bad now, but there will be a lot of sleep going down this afternoon.
...but not before I watch the final 2 eps of this season's Lost. The season started out as complete nonsense, but a few explanations were given and now it's come good. Gotta say though, the whole season tips it's hat to the Back To The Future films many times, and I would be shocked to learn the writer(s) is/are not huge BTTF fans.
I said I'd never do it, maybe I can put it down to the insomnia...lol. I've made a twitter account for myself. I certainly won't be updating it that often, and I registered using the (dark and evil) name of Prophecy (Prophecy666 to be exact). I'll only be using it to track / follow, not to post stuff myself. The current Prophecy update reads: "...preparing for Satan's return to earth...." and I can't really see myself adding anything else anytime soon....unless inspired. Nah, I'd rather be reading about what Joy Giovanni is gonna have for dinner....she had "chicken on the grill" last night.....nice, and how Mila Kunis is doing in World of Warcraft (wtf???).

Queenie in trouble.

Poker resurrection

"Evening Light", taken by Evy Johansen. Verrrnice.



Doing better in poker, haven't lost in live games, always double up or get the money back so that's a good change....now a couple of big wins would round this current run of form off nicely. Managed to resurrect my online adventures also - won a VIP/Freeroll on Betdaq which added €8 to my account, so just playing small SNG's for now to build dat ass back up. No topping up my account though, for fear of not getting a mortgage in the current economic climate...

Some online fun:

Talk to a stranger. Hours of fun, and some hilarious conversations to be had. Here's a funny conversation from earlier - I am "you" and ? is "stranger":

Connecting to server...
You're now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!
Stranger: hei
You: o hai
Stranger: asl?
You: Any vacuum cleaner can organize a rude cloud formation, but it takes a real tornado to bury the pompous polar bear.
You: asl?
Stranger: :'D
Stranger: i asked first
You: lol
You: Now and then, an almost tattered movie theater pours freezing cold water on a satellite beyond some vacuum cleaner.
Stranger: wtf
Stranger: :'D
You: roflcoptor
You: The ROFLCOPTOR is an important part of the defense of LOLrville. Along with the LMAOplane, TTYLnukes, and our troops carrying AFK47s, the ROFLCOPTER is used as a mobile troop carrier, and anti-TTYLTank weapons platform.
Stranger: muro
You: Sometimes a turkey trembles, but a cowboy over a hockey player always pours freezing cold water on a surly hole puncher!
You: asl?
Your conversational partner has disconnected.

Insomnia to tha max

After an annoying 3rd place in last night's game (ok, at least I didn't lose anything) the insomnia struck like never before. Not 1 minute's sleep. I'd like to say nightmare, but for a nightmare sleep is required. Got around 30 mins sleep at the desk this morning and that's it. Gotta go out later but the lack of sleep might scupper that....time will tell. Back to the poker.... Playing decent all night, massive lead running into the last 3 places. Within a few hands my stack was depleted and used my approx. €40 to go all-in on AJ suited. I ran into Darragh's AK and you can imagine the rest. Dammit anyway, playing pretty good recently, won on Sunday and didn't really lose last night, but was so far ahead I was sure the victory was mine.

Found this gem earlier as I searched youtube for a few laughs to keep me awake...
