One Year Ago Today
This was the day I stopped having all tweets sent to my phone. It just started to really annoy me because I’d get like 100 a day, and the sound of my phone going off all the time just for that was terrible. At first it gave me the illusion of popularity, but it got old pretty quick. I still get a few people’s tweets sent to my phone, but it was cut down drastically.
My Day
I slept in really late today, and I finally got myself out of bed at 4:30pm. I heard the guys working on our bathroom so I wasn’t in a rush to get up, but I wasted hours that could be spent watching shows or something. I didn’t really expect to actually work tonight, but they never called me so I did.
The poker room was really dead, and we soon got down to table-break and double-breaks. My tables were pretty lousy, and I knew I would be leaving after my four hour minimum. But at my last down I got lucky to deal a pot for over $1,000 at $1-$2, and the winner tipped me $15. So that paid for my down right there, and when it broke about 15 minutes later I didn’t mind. I made $74 in four downs in four hours, which wasn’t too bad for a Monday.
I got home at midnight which seemed really early, and I had some food and then watched Zombieland. I just decided I was in the mood to watch it, mostly just to see Emma Stone. Then I watched the newest SNL and some Curb, and I played a lot of the iPhone game Jetpack. It’s similar to Jetman, but there are a lot of achievements to do throughout the game and extra items and stuff. It’s pretty fun. Now I’m going to bed at 5am, and hopefully I can get myself out of bed at a reasonable time so I don’t waste my days off this week. My throat has really hurt in the morning, so instead of getting up to deal with it I deemed it easier to just stay asleep. But I don’t want to just sleep all day like I’ve been doing because there are some things I’d like to take care of. So thanks for reading, and “Someone’s ear is in danger of having hair brushed over it!”
