Tivo, Call of Duty and Random info about getting to SD

It turns out that if you leave your xbox on for 50 hrs straight you just might melt the thing.  And that is what I did.  Smelled just like burnt plastic.  Nasty.

Luckily the tivo is fixed now... so I can shift my attention from weapon upgrades on Call of Duty 2 Modern Warfare... back to the WSOP ESPN 2009 coverage.  I just might finish it all up before the December lunacy in Vegas rolls in.

A curious thing.... there are no direct flights from Burbank or LAX to San Diego.  You either fly to SD thru Vegas... or you drive to Long Beach and fly from there.  I have been to SD about 10 times in the last 4 years and never once did I know this.  (I always was either driving from LA or flying from Vegas).  Some of my buddies organized a bigger than usual game at the Palomar Card Club (2724 El Cajon Blvd) (25 50 w 200 dead ante from bb, and 300 for winning with duece seven from each player, with a 20k buy in) and I guess they are having it again tomorrow night.  Heavy sigh.  I hear there were some sick pots.  But alas, I was not there to see them because I just did not feel like making the drive.  Ho hum.

Anyway... off to bed.  Gnight.

But not the first time writing.

First things first, if you have not seen the new Prahald Friedman rap then do yourself a favor and watch it now...

(this is not the "practice avoidance" rap that he did back in the day.. this is new fresh stuff!)

It absolutely rules.

(I dont know how to make a link for you.

Please go to you tube.. and type in "Poker Rapper - Prahlad Friedman - In the Main Event.")

----------

And while you are at it.... you might as well check out my second favorite poker video of all time.

In youtube.com type in the search for "Bing Blang Blaow (remastered)"

It is full out genius.... (and sorry Prahlad.. I am switching back... it is my favorite.. you will have to be nmbr two this time.

What else.. Got the new Call of Duty - Modern Warfare 2 game and it is maybe the best video game made EVER.  This week it actually got in the way

of something I love even more.  Poker.  There was a 40 100 nlh 6 handed game at the Commerce last week (rare) with two spots and all

I could think of was more weapon upgrades and getting cooler missle launchers.  I sat there and just xboxed myself into a stupor.  Missed the poker game.  Pathetic.

Turkey day was great... just super duper enjoying some chill time here in LA... it seems like months since I have had so much chill time.

Oh yeah.. one more random thought before I log off.  I started (finally) to watch the ESPN WSOP09 this last week... (Tivo rules)

Was planning on just crushing it.  Doing 6 hrs a day.  Thought I would just finish it all up in no time flat.... when something funky happened to

the TV system and it all froze up.  Arghghgh.  Couldn't sort it out and have a tech guy coming to help me manana.  I want to finish it all up before

I head off to Vegas next week.  (Dec 8th to the 20th or so...  Cash games and WPT event at the Bellagio.)
