wow. i had a surprisingly eventful day. some good stuff. before i forget though...

i just cleaned up in poker. CLEANED UP.

we're playing googily eyed pete. it's like criss cross, which is each person gets 5 cards, then a cross of 5 cards is dealt out, and everyone can use any combination of their 5 cards and one arm of the cross to make their hand. so out of 10 cards, they choose 8 cards to make a 5 card hand from. googily eyed pete is a variation of criss cross where the lowest card in the cross and all of that rank is wild. so if a 3 is the lowest card in the cross, then all 3s are wild, and everyone can use the 3 that's in the cross.

i get a 2,4,5,6 of hearts and a 3 of diamonds.
automatic straight flush. doesn't matter if i don't have the wild in the cross, just that one wild gives me it.
rachel had 4 aces. 2 aces and a 2, with a 2 in the middle. i think... dave was one card away from a royal flush, which would've sucked the big one. whew...

next hand: same game. mike comments on me getting the same cards somehow. i look at my hand of 5:

i get a 4,5,7,8 of clubs and a 2 of hearts.
same exact thing! only this time it's a higher straight flush...
i beat mike liu with - something. i can't remember. i'll have to ask him.
edit: it was 4 kings. he had a king and a 2, and there was a king and a 2 in the cross.

dave had 80 cents left, so we drew for high card. london did too... dave gets a 2, london a 3, and me an 8. ha.

that pretty much ended it.

other stuff i will blog later: emulators and roms, the greatest website ever, the good, the bad, and the ugly, and down with Film Forum.

i'm in a good mood now. despite work tomorrow and not having gone to lab today. whoops.
