Seven.
Days. And that's all I have to say about that.
Not going snowboarding this Saturday after all as it got delayed (the weather wasn't all that hot anyway), so I'll be around.

Black and Silver, Oh How You've Failed Me.
Luckily I didn't have any major bets riding on this years game. Would have been even more painful. Was happy to see they made it interesting at least, when it was a whole lot to 3 early in the second half I was having to entertain myself with the food. Commercials are still lacking from their glory years of the 90s, although there were a few highlights. My personal favorite was the brawl over the last slice of pizza, with the football player clotheslining office workers a close second. Honorable mention goes to the "zebra" ad, although only about a third of the people in the room actually got the joke. Limited target audience to those who watch a lot of football I guess. Quite a creative spot though. Soft drinks really need to get back into things, the Pepsi ads of old were some of my favorites.
New record at Chumash this week, with twenty two Blackjacks in a single trip. Strangely enough I only ended up above even by a couple bucks by the end of the night. That does mean I'm continuing the streak of not ever losing money though. It was relatively uneventful on the monetary side of things, I never was up more down more than about $80, and spent the majority of the night around even. I'm actually having almost as fun just on the way there and back with people, and chattin it up at the tables, as I am playing the actual games. If only it wasn't for the smell of smoke. As a group we were up, so all in all good times were had between pigging out during the big game and flinging money around afterwards.
What else to talk about. Oh that's right. Ten days.

Hard to Blog...
When your life is sort of hanging in the balance. Twelve days now.
I did receive some comic relief from a friend as she tried to guess my e-mail address.
"Is it BigDorkWithBadHair@hotmail.com?"
I pretended to be offended and hurt, until I couldn't help laughing out loud. I have funny friends.
More when there's more.
