The games people play
Man, there are so many cool games either coming out or already out for PS2 this holiday season. There’s possible Game of the Year GTA: San Andreas. There’s Gran Turismo 4. There’s NHL 2005. NFSU2. Tony Hawk. All this is making me think about getting a totally cheap-o (read: $100) [...]

Wow
I hope everyone watched the lunar eclipse last night; it was pretty spectacular. I saw pretty much the whole thing sitting out in the courtyard. Of course my new camera comes today, so I was unable to take any pictures, but suffice to say that it was very red out west, because [...]

Tucson casino trip(s)
Wow, haven’t done a poker post in awhile… I guess without a home game every week there’s not usually anything exciting to report. This past weekend I hit the casinos, tried $3/6 Hold ‘Em for the first time, had some ups and downs, and came out on top.

ClimbX nostalgia
Finally got my home computer up and running (I’ve been surfing porn working only on my work desktop since I got here), and dug out my movie archives. I had tried to save most of the good video clips from the now-defunct climbxmedia.com while it was still un-defunct. I’m going to give all [...]

Where’s Fido?
Exciting afternoon yesterday. Just sitting and working, and it starts getting really windy. I hear the front gate creak open, and go out into the courtyard to latch it. An hour later or so I head back to the main house to get some more water, and noticed only Morgan (the choco [...]

Back back back
Home from Antigua (pics), with a small writeup coming soon.
Throwing myself fully into work this week; relishing being back in comfortable and familiar environs.
While on the trip, right towards the end my camera started acting flaky… fresh batteries would act like they were nearly flat, and it would only work maybe one time out [...]

Hello from Antigua
Sitting in the small market/deli thing checking email, and figured I’d do a quick update. Here’s Antigua in a nutshell:
Hot
Humid
Very pretty
Poor country
No hold ‘em, except for the game in our kitchen at night.
Lots of newlyweds and older couples.
British people smoke like it’s going out of style.
Never, EVER play something called “rainbow jackpot”.
I [...]

Paul and April’s Wedding Photos
April’s dad was kind enough to send these shots my way, and he says there’s more coming.

You know what’s fun?
Going into the house and finding piles and piles of black, smelly vomit. Yes, either the puppy I’m watching ate a poop and decided it didn’t agree with her (shocker!) or she somehow got herself a chocolate flavored Powerbar or two. I found an empty wrapper on the floor, but that doesn’t mean [...]

Randoms
Leaving this weekend to go on the family vacation to Antigua. We’ll be staying at a lovely resort on the south part of the island. I’m not super into laying on the beach, but there are a few things I think I’ll be able to do: 1) Sleep. 2) Do lots of pushups [...]
