Dad and I went to the Bingo hall tonight, and I played really well. I sat down with $60, and I walked away with $180. I was down to thirty at one point. To be honest I was in a zone like I’ve never been on. The most marginal hand I played all night all night was 9-8 of spades, which I will explain now, because it is quite the story.

I was on the button with 9-8 of spades and I thought to myself, I shouldn’t play this. But two for suited connectors was too good to pass up. The blinds didn’t raise so I was ready to see the floop. 10 of clubs, jack of spades and queen of spades. Not only did I flop a straight, but I also flopped a flush and a straight flush draw. It checks around to me, I bet, and I get two callers. Turn is the seven of spades, bam, there’s the flush. There’s a bet, I raise it, the one guy folds and the orginial better calls. River’s a ten of hearts, and I really didn’t want to see the board to pair, so I check, he bets I call, and he’s got tens full of sevens, with the ten of diamonds and the seven of clubs. He had 3 friggin outs. the Ten of hearts, and the other two sevens. Because if it had be the Ten of spades, he would have made his full house, but I would have made the straight flush, and that would have been the best hand ever.

That hand put me down to thirty, and I was on tilt, I’m not even going to lie. But I tightened up and started to play better. We stopped playing an hour and a half ago, and I’m still amazed at how well I played.

Also, Rob and Big on MTV? Hilarious.

I’m at school right now, and all I can say is that tsome of these people are way to awake and active for Saturday morning. I’ve had coffee today, and I’m still have asleep.

Last night, before I went to I had a panic attack for the first time in a while, and I’m not sure exactly why. I’ve got my shit together at school, I’ve come to terms with work and my depression’s under control. So in short, I have no idea why, but you know what, I’ll take one panic attack every three months or so over every night.

So NaNoWriMo unleashed the inner novelist in me and now I want to write all the time. I’ve got three ideas bouncing around in my head and I’m just waiting to pass Nova Titan off to Will. One of the eyes if for Shadowrun, another idea is loosely based off of Spencer’s DnD campaign. The last idea I don’t to say to much about, because it’s actually original. I’m gonna start working on it tonight and tomorrow and if I get anything written, I’ll post a bit to tease all five of you who read this.

I forgot how simple coding in VB was. Form manuplation is easy. I’ve got a feeling that I’m gonna help teach the class, because my Instructor has said on several occasions that he is not a programmer.

Pinko and I are thinking about getting the band back together, and by band I mean podcast. I know I’ve said that before but whatever.

I found a safe behind a shelf in my room a couple of weeks ago. And Doty and I “brute-forced” our way into it. Yeah, it’s contents weren’t nearly as exciting as I had hope. There was a lighter, a pocket knife, a Han Solo pewter figure and an old union work card. Not jewels or cash.

I downloaded season three of Stargate: Atlantis and I’ve been watching it. I forgot how much ass Ronin kicks. Seriously.

I spent two hours fixing spelling in my Nano. Yeah, not really that fun. Apparently I can’t spell “artifical” and I didn’t know there was an “e” in instanteously. In future Nano’s and writings I’m gonna spellcheck as I go.

Also, I have a beef with the Word’s spellchecker. It has “Linux” in there, but it doesn’t have any of the moons in the solar system except for “the Moon”, “Titan” and “Ganymede”. To a sci-fi writer, single the Red Line of Shame under words like Europa and Io and all of the other moons out there gets old quick.

Also, the Word Spellchecker doesn’t have room for Jello, which is weird.

At 1.5 spacing, Nova Titan comes out to a McBeefy 180 pages with another 5k words or so to write. Once that’s done, then it’s off to Will for editing goodness.

There’s probably something I’m forgetting to post about. Ohh well.

This seems to be a reaccuring theme with me.

The question on everyone’s tongue is how did my Nano go. Well, I won. My novel’s no where finished, but I did reach the 50k word goal. I plan on doing a bit more writing then doing editing. And if what I have after that isn’t utter dogshit, I’m gonna make a webcomic out of it. Or that’s the plan, atleast

Work is work and school is schoo, but I did pull a 4 poin this quarter. Completely awesome

One last thing before I go get something to eat, here is a real conversation between Spencer and I after we saw three GB Township cruiser in a driveway at his park.

Me: Wow, it’s the po po.

Spencer: I wonder what they’re doing.

Me: Crack House.

Spencer: Yeah right.

Me: You should care tho, it’ll knock down property values.

Spencer: We don’t own anything.

Me: What about the lots?

Spencer: Yeah, we pay lot rent.

Me: So bring on the crack houses?

Spencer: Yeah, lower their property values!

It was a lot funnier there, I guess
