Back in Boston

January 8, 2008

Planning on resuming the grind tomorrow – I’m a little bit tired from the traveling so probably no playing today. I have been watching some poker videos though (oh man I forgot how fast our internet is…), so the brain’s not totally idle. Speaking of which, I strongly encourage all of you to check out deucescracked.com, which is shaping up to be a totally sick resource. It used to focus entirely on limit play, but recently joined forces with a bunch of excellent no-limit players. My coach, wiltontilt, is one of the founding members of the site’s new incarnation, and I’m super excited about what they’re doing.

Otherwise, just gonna take it easy tonight. I’ve started reading The Golden Compass, and I’m really enjoying it – tbh though I’m a little concerned I’ve already read it… heh you’d think I’d know one way or the other, but I have an oddly poor medium-to-long-term memory and often forget stuff like that. E.g. when the sixth Harry Potter book came out, I decided to reread all of the previous ones. When I got to the fifth book I was like huh, guess I never read this one, since none of this seems familiar… until I got 3/4 of the way through and vividly recalled a scene. Talk about a “wtf is wrong with me” moment, lol.

Either way, The Golden Compass is pretty awesome so far. I should finish it sometime tomorrow, which will more or less keep me on pace to read a book per week in 2008… yeah, we’ll see how long that lasts :)
