More updating

I really gotta remember to do this more often.

Been sorta busy with both poker and other stuff so it is hard to find the time when I do remember. Anyway, the weekend was a good one even if I did have issues with my internet again. I got deep in the big $11 turbo on Stars but ran out of chances to finish 21st out of about 2800. I did take 2nd in a $26 90-man knockout and won a $13 version over the last few days though. Sprinkle in a few others cashes and things are doing fine.

Saw two movies over the extended weekend (I took Friday off to spend some time with the family). First we saw "The Last Airbender" as both the kid and the wife really wanted to see that as they are fans of the Nick cartoon. Too bad M. Night screwed up the movie and made it too serious. Fail.

The other movie was "Despicable Me", the animated flick with Steve Carell and the chick from "iCarly" (Miranda Cosgrove? Damn, I shouldn't know that). Funny film indeed, we enjoyed this quite a bit. Probably one of the best things I've seen all year to be honest. I haven't seen "Toy Story 3" yet but its better than "How To Train A Dragon" (though it was pretty good also).

We might go see "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" tonight since I really rather see "Inception" this weekend as save my time to play poker Saturday night, especially since its my birthday. Also worth mentioning: tomorrow is my wedding anniversary. Better throw that in here just in case she ever reads this. :)

July 4th Weekend Recap

Despite some more internet troubles I was able to get in about 60+ games over the big weekend. Not a profitable weekend but it was fun to do all that playing. I scared a few things along the way. I took 4th in the $11 bounty on UB for my best cash ($350) and I was fairly deep in the Double Deuce but busted around 130th for $160 there.

I played well for sure and that's what mattered most. I didn't get crushed but when you add it all up I'm only down about $70 for the month so far. Compared to how May and June each had started that's pretty good, LOL. All told it was a full weekend, though not much sleeping was involved as I stayed up thru Sunday to Monday playing poker or NHL10 or whatever. I managed to cash both games at Marc's house Monday evening and I don't really remember all that much of it. :)

Anyway, it took a couple days but I think I'm back on track sleep-wise. Tonight I'll hit up Gator's for some nonsense poker fun and get back to the real stuff Thursday.
