Lil Sis

Heather came down for a visit yesterday. She had to go to a class for her student teaching today so she drove down after school and spent the night. I cooked up some chicken fettuccine alfredo, garlic toast, and even baked some caramel brownies for desert. I figured cooking her dinner was the least I could do after all of the cooking she did for me during the two years we lived together.

We made a trip to the mall, where I found a couple of deals I couldn’t pass up. I bought a hooded sweatshirt for $12, t-shirt for $5.50, and a nice shirt I can wear to work for $12, all at Aeropostale. You wouldn’t have been able to pass up those deals either!

To cap off the night we watched ER. Does anyone else watch? There have only been two episodes so far this season, but they’ve both been excellent. I’ve been a fan for 3 or 4 years now and have bought (then sold after watching) the first two season DVD box sets to catch up on all of the old action. I don’t watch much TV, but my schedule for Thursday nights is always booked by the crew of County General Hospital. I think Carter and Abbey should get back together and after reading the blurb on NBC’s site about next weeks episode you never know…

Abby later asks Carter out for dinner and drinks in hopes of talking to him about his past problems.

I think this chart will be my new study guide. Any poker player who wants to be serious should memorize these […]

Google's Gears

Is Google broken?

I’ve been snooping around the Internet today looking up things about Google and their ranking system. Why? Because the new poker chip tricks site still isn’t anywhere near the first few pages of results when doing a search for “poker chip tricks”. In fact, you don’t get a result for my new site until #261!! Searching on Yahoo! gets a result at #3 and on MSN at #4.

Quads and High Pocket Pairs

Last night I played way too much poker. I sat down at Ultimate Bet because I want to use up the bonuses I have over there. Once I get all of my bonuses, I’ll withdraw the money and put it into Party Poker when they have their next deposit bonus. Have I mentioned that UB’s bonus system sucks?! Playing .50/1 at UB, I get back about $1/hour in bonus. Playing $1/2, it jumps to $3/hour because the pace of play is faster. At Party Poker, I only had to play about an hour or so to get a full $20 bonus!
