being sick

i've been sick for the past few days, which has led to some poker. not much to speak of, my game seems to have digressed. i'm still working on my tilting, which occurs way too often. i've been watching lucko play some cash, which as usual inspired me, but i quickly learned (again) that i have no six max game, even at .10/.25. i was going to watch some vids on cash, but decided i'm better off trying to continue improving my tournament game. i'll prob still donk around a bit at the cash tables.

ff has been a roller coaster. the league i thought i drafted best i'm 3-2, while the league i thought i had the worst draft (and i still cringe every time i set my lineup) is 4-1. i was almost 5-0 but lost by 4 points to the best team in the league.

mostly i've been watching tv and movies, since my concentration while sick has been minimal in between naps. jury is still out on fringe for me. i watched the second and third episode and was intrigued, and the story has gotten better, but i'm not sure how sustainable the show is. does the world really need another x files ripoff?

i agree w/ astin's post from last week on heroes, less mohinder = better heroes. i liked this past week's episode and it just shows how much potential there is. i'm definitely still hooked. i have had several tv posts brewing but can't find the energy. one of these days. i will say gossip girl has been great this season.

lucko started me watching a show i'd barely heard of, the biggest loser. it's retarded that they made it a two hour show, b/c half of the episode is repeating stuff from before the commercial break, but i am admittedly intrigued. they take a bunch of fat people and stick them in a ranch to lose weight and compete survivor style (kinda). apparently they really do get healthier and lose weight, plus i won a prop bet the first week for a dinner at il mulino -- go orange team (heba ftw!) my favorite part so far is last week's ep where they take them on a trip to the grand canyon and they all come back and tell the trainers they couldn't work out cause they didn't have the gym. the trainers responded as i did, like wtf is wrong w/ you people, you're outside in nature and you couldn't figure out how to exercise?!?

i hadn't realized that the office was already back, somehow my dvr didn't record it a few weeks ago, but luckily it was on lucko's. that show is genius. i never thought they could top the british version, and didn't watch the first two seasons of the us version, but omfg. amy ryan has been a hilarious addition, and pam's "what up two one two" complete w/ rocking hand motion had me rofl.

i watched the vp debate and last night's debate, and how anyone can consider more of the same after 8 years of bush baffles me, but not as much as his choice of vp. damn that mainstream media asking her questions!

if you haven't been watching the daily show, start immediately. his election coverage is always top notch.

a belated congrats to sprstoner, for taking down the $150r on ftp for 58k. he sure runs well for someone who runs bad. :-)
