Hell, it's about time.

One post a month, I guess that's a good average. Well, one published post anyway.

So, about that sidebet... We ended up aborting it after 5 days for a lot of pretty bad reasons.

On my side, I started last month with a good ol' otitis. Five days on the pills, pretty similar to last year's. That allowed for very little poker, and it kinda crushed my good intentions. Excuses...

I've been sick pretty much everyday since then, waking up with a sore throat, random ear pain (which is gone now thankfully), and lots of crappy stuff you don't care about. Like a good boy, I talked to the doctor about it, and he said it looked like untreated allergies. Great. Hopefully that will be the end of it. I really don't want to be thrown around in the medical system forever, and feeling good would certainly be a nice change.

On the poker side, I've barely been playing at all. I completely lost my motivation last month, and to be honest, I've been pretty depressed ever since. I'll need to get back to it eventually, as going busto is probably better than not playing at all, and anyway I'm pretty fucking good at this. I guess I'll never get rid of that rampant laziness that's been plaguing my life forever. Better learn to deal with it...

So, on a brighter note, I'm planning a few interesting trips next year. Costa Rica, Vegas, Australia maybe... Should be pretty terrific. I've also started to like donkaments again, and playing these has historically encouraged me to play more. [Insert complicated chain of thoughts that leads to something good]. As you can see, things can only get better from here on, and I might even start posting at a decent frequency again (no, for real this time).

ps. Yes, I mean it.
ps2. Not leveling anyone this time.
ps3. Boy was I on fire when I was writing last year. Ludicrously good prose there.
