Playing poker and Christmas catchup all while smacking zombies upside the head with a cricket bat.
I’ve been runnin’ around all week playing Santa and haven’t accomplished much. Also, this weekend is birthday madness. Mama’s on Friday, G-Dog’s on Saturday, Jensen’s on Monday, Anna’s on Tuesday. I better start thinkin’ of some ideas…ugh.
Been hangin’ out with BFF and I had my yummy chili rellano and pizza “crisp” Monday night at Esther’s. Also had a cadillac margarita and after only ¾ a glass, I was already feelin’ good. Such a lightweight I am! Jank!
Congrats to Pearljammer fer posting back to back final tables this weekend too. 5th in the Sunday Million on Stars!! WOW!! And then the Full Tilt Monday too?! WOW AGAIN!! Most impressive score? Getting out of jury duty!! Bwahahahaha Good job, Jon! See ya soon!
Also, congrats goes out to lil sis who won “another” Bahamas package!!! It’s so hard to win one, so fer you to win 2, lil sis, is although a great feat, I guess I really shouldn’t be surprised…hehe. Nice job too! As for me, still trying to win $7 and the only record I hold is my bad beat streak. Great. So I can’t wait for the year to end and start fresh again. I still have my new motto to live by… “Healthy & Wealthy”. I’m signing up for a 3 hour tennis class and will start spinning twice a week. The other days will be on the treadmill. After watching the Biggest Loser finale last week, surely I can lose 15 pounds?! Geez! BFF says to just “put my mind to it”. Ok, sounds easy enough.
So it looks like if I don’t qualify fer Bahamas, I’ll be going to Cabo, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta instead. I could live with that…bwahahaha I’ve never been on a cruise before, so I’m a bit nervous but also excited. The thought of being on a boat for 7 days is a bit daunting to me. But since they have an onboard casino (how convenient) I should survive. Plus, I hear the food is awesome! Ok, worth a try. Anyway, looks like the cruise is after Bahamas, so I can still go to both…just need my dumb ass hands to hold up. Please baby Jesus, help my dumb ass qualify for PCA.
Haven’t been playing much at all. Just PCA satellites and qualifiers. Can’t make anything happen. So depressing. Maybe Bahamas just isn’t meant to be. Oh well. All I can do is try. I’m still blasting away at zombies with G-Dog, Eugene, and E-Dog. We finished 3 campaigns last week: Hard Rain, Dark Carnival, and just this past Monday, The Parish. I love Left 4 Dead 2!!! Definitely my fave right now. My days are spent runnin’ around shoppin’ fer birthdays and Christmas while my evenings are spent on the couch with the puppies and the 360 with some poker in the middle. Life is good.

The Bahamas are calling!
AARRGGHH!! I played another Sunday qualifier fer PCA and finished 6th! I needed to finish in the top 2 to win my way to the Bahamas!!! ARGH!!! Felt janky fer a good hour or so…ugh. Then I played Left For Dead and after a few successful campaigns, was feelin’ good again. Had fun killing all those zombies! OMG, this game rules! And I was playing online with bro, E-Dog, and Eugene so it was even more fun! I’m also Xsporean on XBOX Live!
So last night I played and won another pre-qualifier so I’m in fer cheap fer this Sunday’s PCA qualifier again! Man, I better qualify this Sunday or else! I can already see the beach, cocktails, trashy mags, and FOOD! Never been to Bahamas! Never been to Atlantis! People tell me it’s paradise! I don’t believe them so I need to find out fer myself. And with lil sis already in, it’ll be such a fun trip!!
Thanksgiving is right around the corner and I’m hungry! Will be fun eating and chilling and eating some more. Check out the menu, yo!
Big ass bird (Thanks Uncle Joe!) with mama’s famous Chinese stuffin’!! Her secret ingredient? Shitake mushrooms and chestnuts, yo! And we also gotz green bean casserole, fruit salad, homemade mashers, and even sweet potater casserole! Throw in a pumpkin pie and homemade tiramisu and wash it all down with some pinot noir and sparkling cider and you gotz a couple extra pounds, easy! Oh, but so worth it! Thanksgiving is the only day where we’re supposed to overeat and feel good about it! So I only want to do my part and continue this great American tradition! Hmm, I will hafta check if Kobe is on! A Lakers win will complete my holiday.
Then Black Friday! I love Black Friday cuz who doesn’t like shoppin’ fer cheap?! And it’s also a tradition to wake up at an ungodly hour and support our economy! And fer those newbies that don’t know how to handle the masses, please be extra careful and don’t get hurt! Holy hell! Every damn year some poor shoppers let others walk all over them (literally!). Be safe out there! Hopefully, I can drag my sis to come with me to all these places and we can snag some deals! When else can you get yurself a slow cooker, coffeemaker, toaster, etc. for $3 each??!! Ah, Friday starts the holiday shopping season! December is an expensive month fer me. With birthdays on the 11th, 12th, 14th, and 15th, I am a broke bee-at-ch. Jank. Throw in Christmas, and by the new year, it’s true jankity jank. I am really tempted to pick up another PS3 just to have another blu-ray player in the house to go with the new 50” plasma and it comes with free copies of Batman’s Arkham Asylum and Infamous. These 2 games are right up my alley and I’ll also get a free blu-ray of The Dark Knight. Anyway, gonna make my shoppin’ list later today.
Watched the WSOP final table and ESPN sure made poker look like more of a crapshoot than a game of skill. Would’ve been nice to see Phil win it. And what’s up with Jeff “Grizzly Adams” Schulman?! Yo, I know you can afford a razor! I need to find out from Joe Cada how he knows when Ducks and Tres’ are gonna flop sets! You’re a genius! Congrats!
Playin’ some SNGs today and then meetin’ up with BFF fer lunch at the beach. Then gonna go to her neighbor’s holiday boutique tonight with the gang. Should be fun! Have a winning day everybody!
