It's an oldie, but goodie that still holds true.... Since it's back to the grind for me.

Jesus I did not want to go back to work today. But it's ok I guess since I now only have 2 days left until my first Red Sox game since I was 8. It's going to rule. I reminded my boss that I had it off and he asked "Why, for some comic convention?" like I'm just a turbo nerd that has nothing better to do than sit around wondering if it would kill Wolverine to have Nightcrawler teleport a bowling ball into his brain. Apparently since it is a Red Sox game, it's ok that I need the day off. My boss is a douchebag.


I also finished the weekend strong. I made a quick trip to Foxwoods with my little brother where he threw me to the sharks... er... taught me to play poker. He gave me a tutorial in the car ride down, told me what tables I will be playing in, set me up with a rewards card and all that, then went to play his own game. The best part of this? I was at a table with 8 complete strangers having actual conversations and only mildly shaking like I had parkinsons. I had a lot of fun. I had a lot more fun after the 3 Long Island Iced Teas. I did pretty well for myself too... I took 100 out of the bank for the day's spending. Spent maybe 30 on gas and food, and then had the rest to blow. It took me like 8 hours, but ended up ahead 3 dollars. Not playing poker, mind you. I was down to my last 20 bucks, turned to my old favorite, craps, and made that 100 back, lost 75 to roulette, then back to craps where I ended up 3 dollars ahead. I love Long Island Iced Teas.

With my winnings, I bought City of Villains for the PC. Unfortunately my computer is a pile of ass and it won't play, so I have lent it out to Reaper_Man and will play it when I visit his house every weekend. From the 3 hours of playing I've done, it's a pretty frigging awesome game. It's nice that someone as pedantic as myself can let loose and try to take over the world every now and then.

I've never tasted poison, like actual real life poison, not just something poisonous. But if I had to venture a guess, I would have to say that Moxie Cola smells and tastes just like poison should.


That's it. Work sucks. Beer and Fenway Franks rule.
