Seems like a sin to not update this blog for a week.

First note, found a good mashup artist, Super Mash Bros

It's like Girl Talk, some good mixes

Had to take the car into a shop from the minor flood damage, and I'm waiting on the insurance adjustor to visit the shop & inspect the damage. I'm not feeling very positive about it, because the guy who runs the shop seems to think the best plan is totalling it (ie figuring out the value of the car and paying me in cash). Evidently *any* history of flood damage diminishes the car's value like crazy. Sadly the car has depreciated like 50% of its value in the 4 years since I've bought it, so I wouldn't be getting back that much. I'm learning firsthand the concept of diminishing value in certain goods.

If the car does end up getting totaled I'll definitely have a lot of options with regard to car shopping if that ends up being the case. The incentive to have a "baller" car isnt the same as it was 3 or 4 years ago, I think I'd be content with a good mid-range car just as much as I would be with a BMW/Audi et all (but if I bink an FTOPS I think I might splurge hehe). Just something that runs well and comes with GPS/Satellite radio would be more than fine with me, and I think you can get that for around 20k. Hopefully it doesn't come to that, but I'm more than prepared.

Lifewise I have been a total hermit without a car. Seems like the car will be in the shop for awhile, so I got the rentacar today just so I can actually go out and do stuff like gym/grocery store. The Super Bowl was an awesome event, and I'm very happy the Saints won. New Orleans was always wayyy more important than Peyton Manning's legacy, in my mind anyhow. I threw down $100 in a friendly Super Bowl squares propbet but never had a chance, fortunately I made $250 in chinese so it was a profitable Sunday (thanks Aaron for the shoutout re: chinese poker iPhone app).

Pokerwise I am winning and playing lotsa hands (like +3k over 10k hands), which is a good turnaround from the prior few months. I think coaching has improved my game tons, at least in terms of making myself more accountable. Imagining myself as my own student is randomly helpful. Viejas definitely has me in better spirits! Been playing a ton of mw2 aswell, and got my 2nd nuke a couple of days ago luckboxing demolition on invasion. I am the king of the nube tube + OMA, bwahaha.

Lastly I uploaded my part 2 vid to Leggo a couple days ago, hopefully it will be on the site within the next 24hours. There were a couple of funny hands to review, that much I can promise.

Peace!
