Sorry about that, now with your regularily scheduled blog.

I went to Soaring Eagle last weekend and had a much better outcome than I did last time. Yes, I still finished down, but I was only down $5 and I played much better, also. For example: There was a guy at the end of the table who played basically every hand and had gotten lucky on the river alot, and would hoot and hollar when he did. Well, here’s what happened. I had pocket jacks in middle position and called the big blind. The flop was 6d 6s 8s. So I had two pair, I bet he calls. Next card is a 4h. Again, I bet, he calls. With the exception of the 6′s, the board is clean, and he wasn’t playing aggressively enought to have trips, so I’m guessing he’s got spades. River card is the Jack of Spades. I’ve got a full house, so unless he’s been slowplaying quad sixes, I’ve got him beat, and I hope he’s got the flush. So I bet, he raise and I call. He flips over Ace, Queen of Spades. “I’ve got the nuts!” he’s hollaring like he had just won the WSOP. I decided to have some fun with him. “Wow, that’s pretty good.” I paused. “Too bad I’ve got Jacks full of sixes.”

He was cursing that hand for the next ten minutes. I went on to have Jacks full of sixes a couple of more times that night. I also had quad queens, which wasn’t the best hand I saw all night. The guy next to me had a royal flush.

Also, apparently, one of the Catholic churches run a charity cash game on the weekend and dad and I are thinking about going and checking it out.

Work’s been there, not a whole lot to talk about there. I did see something funny tho the other day. I was walking into work and a white trash couple was walking out of work. Their one kid was just screaming for whatever reason, and the mom said, and I quote because I’m not this orginal, “If you don’t shut the hell up, I’m gonna drop you on your fucking head.”

Flint parenting at its finest.

This quarter is almost over, and next week is the last week of class, I can’t hardly believe it. I mean, I’m still glad I went back to school but this semister has flew by.

My NaNo is going well. I’m over the 11k word mark, and I haven’t hit any writers block yet. I still haven’t decided if I want to post it here or set up another blog for it. Something I’ll have to think about.

Nothing else much has been happening in Matt-Land, except that voting yesterday has caused my carpel tunnel to flair up. Stupid scantron ballets.
