Behold! I may not have an Optimus Keyboard, but a few moments of time, an xacto blade, and weeks of fustration, and I have a keyboard that expresses my current mindset just as well! Take that, $1500 keyboard!
..(yeah. I’m jealous. The Optimus is fucking hot..)
This is what my cubicle was looking like this week. I’m building myself a fucking door to my cubicle, whatever it takes dammit!
Seen in Philly, a building that’s practically abandoned, doors wide open, lit only by flashlights. It is stunning that there are multiple blocks with buildings in this condition. Might be fun for a horror based photo shoot.
Its either that, or a visual representation of my social life. One of the two. 
Still at about 10 times the normal volume of work, I’m basically project managing over 160 separate mailings simultaneously.

On a different note — one of the fun parts of going out to Atlantic City (other than hanging out briefly with Dave, Lea, Justin, Evan and Ken(nnnnn) were the personalities that sat down at the table.
One gentleman who sat down thinking he was a hotshot, winning one pot at the beginning then going nuts and busting out within an hour because he “hated” anyone who subsequently beat him.. (Including me..) Another person who sat down and shook his legs so badly the entire table was shaking… and one person who sat down with a bag of cigars that he was giving away and a bowl of pistachio nuts.. A cigar and salty nuts — just WHAT are you saying when you sit down?
There were three asian girls that sat down, two playing and one on the side. The girl on the side kept watching the game — and the only reason people didn’t scream “collusion” was because they were fun players, cute and they kept losing money.. Before you ask — I sat there the whole night wondering if I should know them. In particular the girl at the back observing, because she looked like a cross between TWO girls I have liked in the past. It was very very very very strange — and I think I creeped her out with my constant glances, because I kept going in my head, “Shit, should I know her?? Whtf??!” (and no, I did not get their numbers. They were very standoffish and ultimately very young as well. Classic “I have my parents money” type..)
Anyhow — I know I did well lasting 6 hours on one buyin when the real fish were sitting down and either busting out in 20 minutes or blowing through multiple buyins on the hour.
Fun night - would do it again. In three months. Definitely not something to make a habit of…
4:00am, headed out. Satified with my play, had patience and made strong plays. Other than a few key hands, lasting the way I did was all patience and strategy. My chip count was mostly down all night except for the massive triple I wrote up before.
Taken out after super strong hand play but bad beats, 6 hours of play, most of it on initial buy in.
Now. Home. Training complete. .
I am in Atlantic City.
I am playing 1/3 No Limit. I have been playing for hours and surviving for quite a while. I had pocket rockets with a heart.
Flop comes down KQ3 with 3 hearts.
Player calls my all in against me with 100 dollars, AQ off suit.
A Q comes dowm at the end, but it is the Q of HEARTS, making me the nut flush against 3 queens.
250 dollar pot brings me to even. .
Technically there were tiny tiny tiny bits of snow earlier this year, but this is the first obvious snowfall. Big fat flakes that never stay intact once they hit the ground. Those little specks that look like dirt on the lens? Nope. That’s snow. I wish I’d put money on my prediction of snow before Thanksgiving.
