ADD? whats that?

im going to jump around to a million different things that are all uninteresting.

A Professional Gambler's Take on the Tim Donaghy Scandal

a pretty good read if you are into sports betting at all, this guy is a machine. i wish i had access to his stats. too bad i blew the money i made on betting what the finals would be about 5 seconds after i won it. fucking bodog. i shouldn't mix sports and poker. i'm thinking about betting cubs to make the WS.

the rise in the price of gas has seriously prohibited me from doing a lot this summer, especially going to atlantic city as much as i want to, and im sure many others too after seeing the pretty desolate rooms in comparison to previous summers. the less serious players are going less which is making the games a little tougher but my last 2 sessions have been 2 of my best live ones yet. the one (very small) positive i think the gas increase has had on poker rooms is people now plan on staying longer, to get their gas money's worth and becoming tired and making mistakes. i think im going to try and take the bus down next week for maybe 3 out of 5 days and see whats happening.

ok lets talk about the top chef finale. Really? this was really the best you had to offer? pork belly rules but that was about the most boring and uninteresting way ive ever seen it. a prawn in chili sauce was actually called "original". a seared banana (again richard?) in melted bacon ice cream does actually sound great on a gluttony level, not on a best-young-chef-in-the-world level. They seemingly all brought their C games and just had no flair or anything exciting going on. It was a snooze fest entertainment-wise and food-wise.

i got really into gardening this spring. i can't wait for my plants to bloom. theyre getting pretty tall. i have a few different varities of tomatoes, obscure peppers from around the world, spinach, sugar snap peas, strawberries, all different herbs, something else i'm forgetting. if even any of it comes out good i will feel so accomplished.


hellhole played in brooklyn saturday night. we were ok. it was fun. first show in a while. 1/2 price beer was the best part. also working on a new band.

Seriously, how good is bacon? i can't think of a food on earth i wouldn't eat it with. bacon is somehow the perfect food and the perfect condiment at the same time. its the food equivalent of a walkoff grand slam.
