Reading/Listening, 3D Movie, Poker

No links, I'm exhausted and lazy.

Reading: True Story by Bill Maher. It's a book about the true life of comedians. It's disgustingly over-written. Not surprising considering the source: Bill Maher pre-success. He was a successful stand-up comedian at the time, but if my memory serves me he hadn't yet had a major breakthrough like he did a few short years after he published the book. I suppose I could do Internet research. Nope, I'll just assume I'm right like a dick. If he rewrote it now, it might be better, but my defective brain forces me to finish what I've started.

Listening: Not rap! Although it will likely return next week (foreboding violin music). Good People by Jack Johnson. Lazy description: I like it and I know most of the words and it's catchy and it's good so listen to it. My readers all likely already own the disc and love it, so no discovery here.

Still Digesting: White Noise by Don DeLillo. I STILL don't know how I feel about this book.

Still Angry At: Card Sharks by Liz Maverick. In hindsight, I wanted her to have the main character win the fucking tournament. Having her finish fourth was a slap in my face in the vein of "They think that I'll have her win so I'll be smart and make her finish fourth!" Wrong bitch! I FIGURED you would do that, so having her win would be the actual surprise ending. Besides, the rest of the book was so unbelievable that it wouldn't have ruined the credibility anyway. And your apparent target audience could give two shits about poker. If Liz Maverick were here right now I would probably try and have sex with her but I would NOT call her ever again.

I watched an awful zombie movie in 3D last night at a random house in north Omaha. Liquor was involved. I highly recommend things in 3D when you're altered, because no matter how terrible they are, they're still awesome.

I lost like $30ish playing poker a couple of days ago. Not sure if I blogged about it or not. I did have an amazing feeling though. An uber-tight player named MiaLauren and I were playing an HU match. We had just started when I had 44. I play her hardcore because of her tightness, so periodically she gets sick of it and comes over the top of me. Rarely, though. I do play her a bit soft because she used to be nice to me. Anyway, I pop it with 44. She reraises pot and I know she has AQ or better. I discount QQ, KK, and AA and decide to reraise just to find out. Typically, she folds AQ to the third raise and maybe AK. This time she shoved all in on like the fourth hand. I made the comment in the chat window "Getting tough with AK I see" and then folded not wanting to flip for it. She retorts "I did have AK and you're a shit talker so I'm blocking your chat." Coming from somebody so typically nice, I got pissed. The bad type of pissed for her in that I decided that I was going to decimate her in as many matches as she was willing to play. The number was three. Several times she got me down to as low as 3k, sometimes during huge blind levels like 500/1k, but she's too tight and I always came back to eventually win. I don't know that I've ever owned somebody like that before and it felt fucking AWESOME. I feel like 5% bad because she is so typically nice, but I'm never going to lose another match to her again ever. This part came off a lot meaner than I intended but in my present state I could care less because my mind isn't with my body at the computer, it's already in bed. Focker out.
