darkside

it's so easy to write about gambling... when you're winning.

and i am winning. and so is danny. in 4 sessions i've accumulated a couple bills, while danny... well, let's just say that danny has enough to buy that mac mini he keeps bantering about. he won't be buying it soon though, because we're trying to get a roll together, to take to vegas in late september, for leggerro's wedding.

the thing of note is that we're winning from the darkside, the don't pass line. for those not in the know, we're essentially betting against everyone else on the table. so whenever we win, others lose and vice-versa. so when they cheer, we curse. but when they curse, we just pull our money in and shut the hell up. the way it's been going, we've been awfully quiet...

last night, danny doubled his stack in 2 hours and changed out. it took me about 3.5 hours, but i doubled up too. why does the boat have to be so damn close.

yes! welcome to the darkside. it can be a long grueling process, but patience is a virtue, and it shall be rewarded. join the house and play with them. after all, the house never loses. right?

giving thanks

last year, erin and i spent thanksgiving at cammie's place in the city. it was an intimate gathering of cam's close friends. i made some baked mac and cheese that i was very proud of... it was delicious. but betsy broke my casserole dish on purpose, because she had her own mac and cheese she wanted everyone to eat. just kidding, but i dish really did break, and it really was betsy's doing... accidentally, on purpose. heh. anyways, this is the first thanksgiving in 5 years, that i haven't spent with erin. very strange, and sad too. i've found myself reflecting on the friendships that i've made over the past couple of years... thinking about the people who come into and out of our lives so quickly. as you may be able to tell, i'm a nostalgic little fuck. i live every day like it's a big event. i try to treat those i've just met, like they're my best friend (unless they're a complete douche bag). i get sad at the end of the night when i have...

who sings that?

so i saw this jcpenny commercial today and i noticed two things... number one, jcpenny's marketing department or the ad agency that's helping them, has been doing a great job trying to improve their image. kudos to them. number two, they've been using some great background music in their commercials. i know that regina spektor sang one of the older ones, but in the one i saw, they used the song " all that i want ", by the weepies . and by the way, i don't know if you pronounce it weep-ies, like freebies or wee-pies, like levi's . anyways, i think that if you don't watch tv a lot, you pay more attention to the commercials, and in this particular case, the soundtrack was delicious.
