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.

Well, Nation Novel Writing Month is apon us, and I’m feelin’ it. I’ve wrote about 5 pages or so (1800 words) and I feel good. I got into a bit of a connudrum as to what I should write about and such, but after talking to Amanda last night, I settled down into an idea. I’m tentatively calling it “Nova Titan”. It’s a Sci fi book set some 200 years into the future. It’s gonna have a shadowrun style feel to it, and to answer the question that’s on everyone’s mind, no it won’t have any of my RPG characters in it. No Naryn and no Sheyrena. Alteast I’m not planning on it, as of now. Tonight when I get home from work I’m going to hammer out some character bios and a plot atleast, since I’ve got some ideas as to what I want to do, it’s just not on paper yet.

Yesterday was the first day I worked a 10 at work. Wasn’t too bad, but the day dragged because it was slow. We got hung with a lot of candy. I mean a ton. Last year, we had some baskets of candy left. This year, we’ve got skits left. Lots of skids left. So if you want cheap candy, it’ll probably be down to 75% off by the end of the week.

Class is going extremely well, I’ve got A’s in all of my classes, which is good. I’m glad I’m off to such a good start.

That’s it for now. I’ll make sure to post my NaNo stuff after I get home from work.
