I'm still here and alive.....I just don't have much to say right now. I'm retroactively impressed with Martin Starr's acting ability.
That's all I got. |

Copy this sentence into your LiveJournal if you're in a heterosexual marriage, and you don't want it "protected" by the bigots who think that gay marriage hurts it somehow. |

I am no longer itchy. I thought I had the world's most insidious poison ivy, but apparently that was a lie. The doctor's are baffled. I don't give a damn what it is. I just want it gone. |

My chat room complaining on poker stars shall become a thing of legends. This is a goal of mine. Pocket Aces ran at about a 10% win rate in both NL and low limit tourneys.
But in my 3rd venture above $25, and thus upping the stakes to $0.10/0.20, I come away with some success for once. Closing my day at $30.30, a new record.
Tomorow, I'll try to break that record. |

| The Bestest Xmas ever (please pronounce the X) |
[Jan. 2nd, 2007|05:47 pm] |
Lady Ensign and I enjoyed our trip to Vegas very much. She had an enjoyable Xmas and birthday, and there was much celebration. Good Omens abounded for this trip. Lady Ensign had loaned out my gameboy games to a friend of hers 2 weeks beforehand, and assured me I would get them back for our trip. I still haven't gotten them back. But my brother game me Final Fantasy III for the DS! Take that 2 hour flight, 1 hour layover, and 4 hour flight! I would have a fully functional anti-boredom device.
We stayed at the Tropicana, which we hear will be going through some renovations. In my estimation, it sorely needs renovations. The Trop The rooms were clean, and that's as nice as I can be. Their showers built by elfen people with no respect for the tall. And by "tall" I mean people over 5 foot 5. The Trop, as we were to discover, also had the subpar food (exception: their Hibachi place was super yummy).
So what did the Trop have going for it? It was cheaper than most the rest of the strip, and you could walk to the MGM Grand, New York New York, Excalibur, Luxor, and Mandalay Bay inside of 5 minutes. Nowhere else on the Strip offers easy access to so much. (although upon further research New York New York, Excalibur, and Luxor are rather reasonably priced). For buffets head to the rather ritzy Mandalay Bay. Super YUMMMY!!!!!
The view from the walkway over Las Vegas Blvd betweent the Trop and Excalibur:
Christmas night we went to the MGM Grande to eat at Wolfgang Puck's Bistro and then saw La Femme. Mmmmmm.....classically trained dancer boobies on Christmas. Awesomeness plus 10!
The 26th ended up as more of a recovery day. I don't think we left the Trop that day, but we did hit the Hibachi grill. We also hit the Bodies exhibit. Corpses preserved and stripped down so you could see just the skeleton. Or just the circulatory system. Or just the nervous system. It was a crazy cool anatomy refresher. I highly recommend this. Lady Ensign went to the Comedy Store (located in the Trop) that night. Jimmie Walker was more of an emcee, but did do some standup. Lady Ensign was not impressed.
Lady Ensign's birthday was the 27th. I didn't give her her present until we got home, as it was a painting of a castle and bridge in Rome we saw on our honeymoon, and would have been cumbersome to get through security. We headed down to the Venetian that day on the Monrail. I think our monorail car wanted to assimilate me. Resistance seemed futile.
The walk to the Venetian included walking by an emcee leprechaun:
The Bellagio showing their respects to President Ford (I really like this pic for some reason):
We walked up and down this section of town, and took in the sights, which were all over the place. In the Venetian we came across a wedding (yes, this picture is indoors).
We ate at a Super awesome-o Italian restaurant in the Venetian and then saw the Blue Man Group. Verdict on the BMG? Worth the price of admission. Funny and talented lot they are. I think they got some art direction from Rob Zombie too. I searched high and low and never saw David Cross/Tobias. Oh well. I did find this guy though:
So that's my Vegas tale. I also won some moneys at poker ($1/$2 NL Hold em), lost some at slots and and Blackjack, and bought an awesome jacket. Lady Ensign had such a good time she wants to make this an annual tradition. I'm for it!
Sorry I got extremely lazy writing this entry halfway through. Oh well. |

My day, Steven Colbert style
Tip of my hat: to everyone coming out for Festivus Metzivus. It was great seeing so many people. Awesomeness in major plus ten.
Wag of my finger: to the Redskins, for sucking. For not getting a key stop, late, again. The defense did play well, but Campbell is working out some rookie mistakes. I'm still a Campbell backer. But losing to the Eagles at home? Ugh.
Wag of my finger: the return of drunkee from the Kevin mugging story. He sat at our poker table. And played like a total jackass. Like that guy who just clicks max raise during a freeroll limit tourney. Only we were playing a cash game. He'd max bet bottom pair, and max raise if he got the oppurtunity. But he caught 2 pair in one instance (impossible to read on my part, just ass lucky), and then caught runner runner straight (this time I was way ahead until that). Given more time I'd have evened out and cleaned him out, but time was of the essence, and he got his lucky shots in. That steams me. Ended up down $5. Those two hands were the difference between down $5 and up $15. This wasn't some cunning hustle. Believe me. As a poker player, he's a jackass.
( fantasy football rant under cut )
Tip of my hat: To me! For an insurmoutable lead in Fark Wars!!!

That's right. 2 golf claps for my headline, bitches! Strangers on the internets validate me!
(Headline note: the last bit with oth-oth-oth.... was because Fark has a 250 character limit I had to get under)
Wag of my finger: I left the party following a couple girls. We just left at the same time, minor coincidence I was driving behind them for a few miles. When we left I thought they were borderline buzzed at worst. They're driving was holy fuck I'm keeping my distance and so is EVERYONE else on the road because these girls are going to hit someone and/or drive off the highway at high speeds FUCKED UP. I've never seen someone take a lenghty onramp entirely in the left shoulder. And by entirely I mean both the entirety of the onramp from beginning to end, but also that their SUV was completely in the shoulder, not just a few inches, but the whole fucking thing. This led to a dangerous situation when it came time for merging. Our paths parted. They still had 30 miles to go. Ye gods.
I followed up with one of their boyfriends. The girls survived. Next time I'm playing out a real life cliche after school special. I'll impose my will and FORBID them from driving. Even if it comes to fisticuffs. I think I can take two 100 lb drunk girls. Though Vegas probably doesn't have me as a prohibitive favorite in the early line. |

I was in the shower and I had an epiphany. I think I have struck upon a small home business that has a high chance of success. Even though I was in the shower at the time, this business will NOT involve my penis.
More research is required, and the project wouldn't get rolling really until next winter, but I think I've got something here. I'm excited!
Also, Archimedes famously shouted Eureka while in the tub. His idea was also not about his penis. I think this bodes well for me. |
