Not being able to play online poker in the States really sucks. It's just so fucking illogical I can't wrap my head around it (I can wrap my head around greed, I guess I choose not to). But, here I am, spending a month in the good ol' US of A and bored out of my mind.

I was able to do a few cool things: I signed up at a gym which is now close to where I live in Indy. It's 100,000 square feet, a couple basketball courts, a couple pools, a rock climbing wall, bunch of other stuff. I got some swimming lessons. I got some yoga lessons (I got pretty lucky and found someone cool to come to my house and teach me, I highly recommend it, I think most people that just go do yoga right off the bat without individual instruction probably do stuff very wrong, which is dangerous for your body). I played basketball a couple times a week. I further taught myself kettlebells. Now that summer is coming to an end, I'll probably start bulking. This always winds up being a fitness blog.

I interviewed Greg Merson for Leggocast #22. I finished some other video stuff (final part of my heads up series against klink, hh review video from a few years ago). We're running a Mojito Tuesday promotion to get $100 off a year subscription to Leggo-- might as well buy that now before stuff gets more serious in the future, promotion ends this upcoming Tuesday.

I grinded some TV. I'm caught up on Breaking Bad and Newsroom and just started watching Twin Peaks since I found it on Netflix. It's been that kind of month. I ate a lot of freeze pops. I read a few books (just started Eiger Dreams, which is just a collection of short climbing stories from Krakauer). I questioned my existence. I was generally unproductive.

Tomorrow I'm going up to Toronto to play some poker. I'm not sure how long I'll be up there. I'm gonna try to make 100k. Should be TOO hard if I'm up there for 6 or 8 weeks. Maybe I'll just win a tournament. I'm due.

Thoughts on Newsroom? I find it entertaining but slightly pretentious with Sorkin going all revisionist history every episode. Hoping that maybe in the second season we can catch up to the present.

Jimmy mentioned a possibility of Mexico. Would def consider it if I were you...

Also, swimming lessons?

Swimming lessons were free when I signed up at the gym. I was able to learn backstroke and breast stroke (at least my version of them) in one 30 minute lesson. I swim a lot because I have bad knees and ankles and I love the idea of doing something no-impact for the rest of my life.

Newsroom is incredibly pretentious. I made the mistake of reading some of the 2p2 thread on Newsroom. While most of what they are is true (how Sorkin writes women, how he's got a bone to pick, the gimmickyness of the dialogue), I'd rather just enjoy the show for it's face value-- it's witty, Jeff Daniels is a boss, and there are some good emotional moments imo.

I think the biggest thing it'll suffer from (good point on 2p2 and something I was thinking of already) is that because they are having it follow current events, somehow season 1 has spanned over a year, but the relationships really seem stunted in the few weeks/months that most shows would follow. It's hard to have the relationships parallel the current events since they are going to be so few and far between. Also, how are they going to keep the show up if half a season has taken one year? At that rate they'll run out of stuff in season two...

assuming you watched the west wing you had to expect newsroom to be how it is. I still like it though. Mexico is pretty much the nuts (I lived in vancouver for a while too)

best show that most people don't know about or haven't started watching is Suits. I highly recommend it and my taste is superb.
