blah blah blah

i keep having all these ideas for blog posts, but then when i actually have the time to sit down and post, i find other things to do.

well, thanks to don for reminding me during last week's mookie about the US v. mexico game last night. i missed most of the first half doing a prospective student interview for my alma mater, but she was cool, plus it was at milk and cookies, one of my favorite places in the city. their double chocolate chip mint cookie is fantastic! US won 2-0, which is awesome v. mexico. they looked a little dead during part of the second half (i was confused for a sec as to which team had a man red carded) but bradley scored the second goal w/ only a few minutes left. tbh, i thought it was a fairly shitty shot, considering he had the time to take a touch and aim, but luckily the mexican keeper fucked up. i think the next game is april 1st, and this time i have it in my calendar so i don't forget and make other plans.

i have so many thoughts and feelings on lost that i don't have the time to put into words but i cannot remember the last time a tv show got me this excited. yeah, yeah, i love wire, bsg (that's battlestar galactica for any readers who have not bothered to watch one of television's best dramas, regardless of its sci fi-ish origins), veronica mars, etc. but this show actually makes me think, YAY IT'S WEDNESDAY!!!!!! part of me wishes i had the willpower to wait for dvd, but obv i don't cause i barely have the willpower to wait for the following wednesday. i will be extremely upset if we never hear another word about libby, but i have a feeling the writers are saving that for season 6. it sucks that season 2 and the first half of season 3 are so damn bad, b/c a lot of people who would be loving this season never stuck around to watch.

lucko and i started watching season 1 of buffy a few weekends ago, and i'm excited to watch more. i never watched the show when it aired, but numerous people have raved about it. next after that is the shield. (though i think buffy will take awhile). meanwhile i still have the savages, the illusionist, and old boy from netflix. i'm probably going on 2 months, and i need to woman up and watch them, if only so i can get buffy season 2!

this weekend is my dad's birthday, which conveniently falls on valentine's day. mostly i think vday is bullshit, just a commercialized excuse for consumer spending, yet we have made our very romantic vday plans to go to dinner and see friday the 13th (we are "celebrating" on friday night). i finally got around to seeing the original and part 2 last weekend, and am actually looking forward to the remake. i love/hate horror movies, b/c i get myself so scared, but i can't stop watching.

if you ever watch horror movies, immediately rent the strangers. it is one of the most suspenseful, fucked up movies i've ever seen. i was completely freaked out by it, yet i loved it at the same time. it stars liv tyler and someone else i can't remember right now (scott speedman, maybe?) and is worth the two hours.

i was gonna write about how much i'm sucking at poker, but really why bother. i've made some extremely retarded plays over the last couple of days but have been racking up some min cashes here and there to avoid feeling like a complete failure. i got 4th in a six max rebuy, which was fun cause i don't play six max very often, and i had a blast playing. i still played like a retard though, which is prob why i couldn't close it out. managed a 3rd in a 180 man last night (ajfaklsdal;sdfd;a i just wanna win one), but gonna keep grinding. doing the 2p2 leaderboard this time around, and am already doing better than i did the first time, so yay.

really looking forward to bbt4, whatever al has planned will rock, i'm sure.

congrats to rambler for winning the mookie. was so bummed i missed his monday tourney this week, esp cause it was six max.
