1.The Internet.
Verizon. I’m highlighting this word because they suck. So if you aren’t a type to read a blog, know this and don’t use their service. Ever.
Well, it’s some time after 14th now and apparently there is no internet still. Someone somewhere made some sort of mistake which somehow caused something to happen that I still don’t have it. That’s what they tell me. Not only do I have to suffer through incomprehensible Indian accented-English, but even if I did understand what they said there still would be no answer. I spent about 5 hours on the phone between today and yesterday trying to find out what’s going on. They kept throwing me around departments and giving me a wide variety of excuses over and over, repeating and opposing themselves. The final answer (at least what I set out to be a final answer) is that it will be on tomorrow after 6pm. Which is coincidently the time their support stops working (a major company without a 24-hour support?). The problem is I’ve heard that answer before.
I also requested a new DSL modem which the y sent to my old apartment, took it back and never sent it to my new address. When I called them yesterday they said they already did and it will arrive today. Today however, it’s another 48 hours.
Not to mention their internet breaks up more often than a dial up. Which I am using now and 48k aside it is not too bad. I guess anything that works is not too bad in comparison.
2.The Apartment
I still haven’t taken any pictures of neither the apartment nor the view. I’ve find my camera but the battery charger is still lost (there is still a room worth of unpacked stuff lying around here). The battery is a unique square like thingy so any grocery store bought Durasill just wont do.
It feels really weird to live on 21st floor. Sure the view is nice but I am quiet afraid of heights. The highest I’ve lived so far is 4th floor, and that’s at most will break your legs, and given my judo background I have this faith I will be able to do a proper roll to a safe landing. Not that I am even sure a roll is a proper way to land from 16 meters or so. When I’m in the apartment it just feels like there is this empty space under my feet. I don’t know. Not a comforting feeling. And the wind, the wind at this elevation is quiet insane, it wails and screams, threatening to knock the walls and the windows down. Once it was banging so hard I woke up thinking the house was crumbling.
Also ever since we moved here I just can’t fall asleep. I don’t know what that is but I just can’t. I even tried sleeping pills, which usually were spot on if my schedule ever got fucked. Its quiet hard to live a healthy lifestyle with playing poker at peak hours and going to gym and all that when you aren’t even getting 8 hours of sleep.
3.Poker
Well I’ve been playing some poker even without the internet. Whether it was stealing from the neighbors, using dial up or college lab rooms I’ve got some hands in. Got 2nd in a 1 dollar rebuy on FTP which is my biggest tournament success, for I guess about 250$? Been playing some tourneys since then cos I want to play in MiniFTOPS, with it being a +EV endeavor and not just me luckboxing stuff.
Cash game wise I am playing only heads up right now. Bigger edge and much more to learn. I just felt that I couldn’t advance my game that much at 6 or 9 max because my bankroll didn’t not correspond with the stakes I would have to play to use my knowledge. In heads up however I have a lot of leaks, and fixing them up is a lot more entertaining than grinding silly. Progress, is just awesome.
4.MMA
I was pretty blah that Aoki lost to Mach. And the way he lost(even tho I haven’t seen the match). I was really hoping he would be able to pull it off, as a fan. But what can you do, work on your striking please Rainbow-pants man.
Diaz came in at 190 for Shamrock fight? What happened to the skinny dude that fought Gomi? I guess someone has dipped into more illegal substances then just weed.
Liddell vs Shogun this weekend. Liddell is obviously done(as a contender), but it’s a huge test for Shogun. Is he finally back?
5.Formula 1
What a mess. WTF is going on? Pretty pissed at Lewis getting his points taken away. Happy for Button , the man deserves this, this man is equivalent of F1 Oddeye. So unlucky. Lewis will win anyway though.
6.Random thoughts
Envy Svenman. That chick's body is banging.
Haruki Murakami is awesome. I advise everyone to read the Wild Sheep Chase at least.
Also take recommendations for similar books.
