Fri
Went to the Exeter for an hour or so for a couple of post work drinks and when I got home my clothes smelt like smoke so bad that I left them outside my room on the banister.
Called tg to see what she was doing and she just happened to be downstairs outside my front door ringing the doorbell (that doesn’t work) at that very moment.
Went to fowlers and seriously stacked on the way in and now there is a big bruise on my back.
It’s funny when you catch people off-guard who are usually very confident and even sometimes slightly arrogant, and then they act very nervous and weird.
Went to grace and it was nice and warm as usual. Some guy said tg was very blasé and it was a shame that she didn’t have any time for boys but he was going to call her anyway.
Went to mojo and the bouncer looked hypothermic. On closer inspection he did have a very cold face.
There was a peter styvesan counter set up and I think they were giving out cigarettes for free, but this is unconfirmed. Anyway, it was depressing to see two promo girls trying to kill everyone and also contributing to the pile of smoky clothes on my banister.
Went home after beating some really young guys on the foos table, they looked like they were having a lot of fun before we came along and then when we left they just looked kind of like two little kids would look if they had been happily playing cards with their pocket money and then Johnny Chan came along and took it all in one hand, it didn’t feel good at all and wasn’t really fun.
Sat
K came down from the hills for some dumplings. B commented that the waitress looked really cold and K said ‘well if she actually did some work she might not have that problem’ and she had a point considering the history of service received. K also said she thinks she felt the head of her baby and she has also never felt so sick and unhealthy in her life as she has since she’s been pregnant. K’s belly is not that much more of a fatty since last week. Next week we find out if its an Oliver or a Mia. My money is on Mia.
Spent the rest of the afternoon teaching K and S how to play texas holdem’ which was pretty fun and pretty useful cause then S finished up joining the tournament in which she came close to taking out her sensei on a couple of hands.
Korean BBQ for dinner which was ok, but our rocks weren’t hot enough so took a while to get something to eat that wasn’t likely to result in salmonella, although, the children on the table next to ours didn’t seem to have this concern or at least their hunger made them blind to the fact that they were eating raw chicken. They must have had cold rocks too.
Tournament was good poker. I came third and so now I think I’m really good. But I’m not quite at the stage where I’m gonna buy a book yet or develop a formula.
Cant wait for the next game though.
Today
N a i said he has an agenda, but he wont tell me what it is.
