Last Heat

O points.  At least it is a number/result that appeals to my synesthetic aestheicism.  Zero, a perfect number.

I don't think I really have synesthesia.... but it is possible... I know that I can be quite enamored by the odd number purity things here and there but true synesthesia is actually a bit different.  Though there are more or less 60 variants.. the most generic definition / the giant brush picture would be this..

Synesthesia is a sensation felt in one part of the body when stimulus is applied to another part.  (i.e. visualization of a color on hearing a sound.) 

It wouldn't surprise me if I had some sort of low level variant of it though...... I wouldn't mind it if I did... things have been working out after all,,, right?

Anyway... O points.

==================

I like that it will be 6 handed... I like 6 handed... all the games online now are essentially 6 max... or at least where all the action has been in the ring games.

I like that Bubblegum is in for sure... He is always fun at a poker table....

I like that we don't have to start til 4 p.m.

(This means that I get to sleep unitl I am done being tired.  Which is what I am used to.)

I like that JC Tran has started using the 40% line.  (When playing two suited cards threee gapper or lower).  I started up with this about 6 months ago and it did seem to be getting traction.  But now with JC helping carry the torch... who knows... it may someday become standard poker venacular.   (i.e. "How could I fold? I started with 40% of a straight flush!")

======================

Movies...

Saw Daybreakers... Amazing stuff... Best vampire movie I may have ever seen... Will have to double check that, but for now I am going with it.  VERY COOL VAMP FLICK>>> VERY COOL.  I knew I was gonna love that flick.

Next on the map... Wolfman!  The trailers are nutso cool.

Later...
