self-titled: ^_^

ok, the thing i don't get for the day is books. in the past two weeks, i've spent close to $150 on books. books of the comic variety. specifically, every available trade paperback of brian michael bendis's(hi-five, seth cohen!) powers. and i really enjoy it and now can buy the tiny $3 book once a month. but what's my point here. oh yeah, books are dumb. i saw a seinfeld episode yesterday that addressed this... when you finish a book, for the most part, you're done with it. and it cost you $10 or whatever and you lug it around with you for many years more and probably never pick it up. it's disposable entertainment that we don't dispose of. and i tried buying the first issue of joss whedon's x-men relaunch today and it was sold out or maybe just not for sale yet... but there was a glaring empty spot in the x-men section.

also at newbury comics today i bought magnetic fields "I" and the season 2 dvds of the office. Now, i already have the mag fields mp3s, and the office is readily available for download, but both items had such very attractive pink stickers on them: one said "$9.99" and the other "$19.99" and i was just drawn to them. Also, i won $30 in the poker tournament last night and felt that i should get rid of that $30 asap so i wasn't reminded of what an awful win it was every time i looked at my wallet. the tournament was fun, about 18 people or so... jonathan sat at the same first table and we both effortlessly were in the top 2 positions. at the final table i got pretty low, but then came back in a strong strong way with about 5 people left, getting jonathan out during the fun. pretty sure i worked up to chip leader somehow. hten after some time, i just bluffed at the wrong hand and went out. and said goodbye to a $200 purse and hello to a $50 one, and i was pissed off. but now that money is gone so i can sleep easy.

that was yesterday, i had forgotten about the tourney until jonathan called on my way home. so i had to forego the season finale of the OC, which is downloading now.

the day before... i watched love actually with katie, which i actually enjoyed quite a bit.

monday i... well i covered that already.

this amuses me. especially the second to last paragraph.

and now, i go to sleep. do i play poker tomorrow night? it's been a month since i've been to southie. i know the answer to the question is 'yes,' but my throat sorta hurts and i do have videogames to play. sigh.
