This month:

Yes, I admit it. I feel a bit cheated by this game. I have worked hard, I've tried to get my emotions under control, I've kept my karma up... I guess the only consolation is that these things have been good for me generally even if I think there should be another 10k in my bank account. I talk a lot about how I don't need much and I think that money is mostly ruinous in effect. Looks like God decided she thought this would be funny. I haven't given up hope yet, but lets just say I'll be grinding some GRE test prep books alongside poker this summer (especially post-UIGEA, oh the stressaments!).

To compound matters, my computer is now only what I might generously call... limited in function. For whatever reason (it costed $300?!) the mouse freezes just about every 8 seconds and that's made playing poker a bit difficult. If nothing else it's contributed to a bit of tilt and that's just that absolute last fucking thing I need. I would donate it, but since it's borderline worthless I'll be releasing some stress via baseball bat in a week or so. Why won't I need it? Luckily, I just bought a megaupgraded Sony Vaio. It ran me $1800, but I think I'm gonna have this computer for the next 5 years. I'll blog about it separately when I start grinding it.

Additionally, I really really want to get my 30'' monitor set up. Who knows, maybe I'm in for a tech boomswitch. I'll be moving from Philly at the end of the week back home to North Carolina (where the laptop is waiting for me) and I'm really gonna refocus my efforts in a serious way.

All this being said, I'm still very committed to the progress of my students, and I hope they are able to bear with me until I can get back on the megagrind.

In conclusion, fuck you May. Fuck you long, and painfully.
