Poker sucks. Meh. Went on a tite 12 buyin downswing. Cashed out the rest of my monies. Now I have no money on any poker site. LAAAAAMEEEEEE

Of course!! Tyr stilll owes me money from last few games.

Awesome! I was just fuggin around about it but I'll take some of your thousands of MTT $$$ no prob!

So I realized it was St Patty's very late yesterday. I didn't even start drinking until like 11pm. Around 1AM I made a bunch of calls. I had to check my phone's record to remember who I called. Two worth noting - I called MVP, and I called a deaf friend of mine. Obv my deaf friend didn't answer and is going to ask me what the hell I was doing

Duels require at least two people. Everyone I was working with was at the staff meeting. I'm still considered a temp worker, even though I'm "temporarily" working here at least two months. With the amount of compliments I get every day from my work, I'm nearly certain to be hired. Right now I am temporarily replacing someone who was fired for shoddy work and a horrible attitude.

I hate not being able to let go. Whenever something goes wrong, it loops in my head for the rest of the day and I'm forced to multi-task from then on. I have the task at hand, and the looping thoughts in my head. I end up losing attention to details during the next tasks, make another error, and then I repeat the cycle. Once my performance starts going downhill, I'm done for the rest of the day. No chance.

I made a few stupid mistakes at work today. Nothing serious, but still, they shouldn't have been made if I paid more attention and wasn't multi-tasking the whole time. See, nothing even has to be happening to force me to multi-task - as long as something internally is going on, a memory, a fragment of a song, etc. I will be forced to multi-task.

Late Friday night I ordered an 2gb IPod nano as well as some accessories for it. Today I received the portable speakers with the dockable iPod thingy. It's really sad looking at it and not having my iPod yet

My iPod arrived today - BUT it required a signature. Tomorrow the dude is returning to my signed form and I will have my brand spanking new iPod nano! HOOORAYY!!!

Now that I finally have a stable source of income I've been researching various things to buy in the near or far future. Obviously I already splurged on the iPod + accessories. I'm also going to be upgrading my entire computer system - here's my NewEgg.com cart sent through email form which I'm not going to bother touching up:

Basically, I am buying the recommended "tight budget wonder" listed on Pwnage.com's hardware forum (see post ):

Tight Budget Wonder
Price/Performance Ratio Maximization

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3600+ X2 Brisbane - $89
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-M55SLI-S4 - $90
RAM: G.Skill 2x512MB DDR2-800 1GBNQ - $100
GFX: eVGA 7600GT - $90 AR
PSU: FSP 450w AX450-PN - $51
Case: CoolerMaster Centurion 534 - $55
HDD: Western Digital 250GB SATA II - $70
Optix: NEC 7170A - $30

BTW, if you guys don't know what Pwnage.com is, the main site is internet live-action episodes about an aspiring professional video-gamer (that's his character at least) who calls people noobs and such. Very amusing for anyone who has played a lot of video games (like me), and especially if you've played them online and are familiar with RTS and FPS lingo.
