The Lion


I was reading my horoscope on the way in to work this morning and it gave me pause. (Now don't go rolling your eyes because you have to read my horoscope; it's good!)

Leo - You're craving excitement this week.  Even your favorite pastimes are starting to bore you.  Don't despair, an exciting new hobby will soon capture your attention and take up lots of your free time.

Isn't that interesting?  I mean I am craving excitement and of course my favorite pastime (this blog) is in fact, starting to bore me!  It's hard to have an exciting poker blog without, um, poker.  Speaking of poker, I played a heads up match against Jew Boy this weekend.  Anyone wanna guess who won?  :)  I'll give you a hint, it was a HEADS UP MATCH and I WAS PLAYING.

If you guessed me, you're right.  The whole game didn't last much longer than 15 minutes when I flopped trip queens and slow played them.  Jew Boy jammed all in and I instacalled.  GG Jew Boy!

Have I mentioned that I LOVE Heads Up play?  On Sunday, I got a little more HU action, albeit vicariously,  when I found the NBC HU invitational thingy on TV.  It was awesome!  Eric Siedel was poetry in motion against Moneymaker.  Ironically enough, their HU match ended very much the same way my match wtih Jew Boy did.  Eric flopped trips (trip 5s to be exact) and after a little slow playing Moneymaker jammed all in with Eric instacalling.  Eric and I played it the same way, except he won a little more graciously than I did.

So this got my HU appetite whetted and naturally my thoughts returned to Poker Grump.  He beat me HU very very easily.  Grrrr.  Grumpy, it's time for a rematch!  I haven't played online, even a play money game since Heff's first home game on Poker Stars which must've been over a month ago.  Grumpy, I challenge YOU to a Heads Up match!  Winner wins um money!  I don't play well unless there's cash on the line.  I propose that the loser pays the winner in person when I get to Vegas.  Surely he can hold onto my winnings until then.  :)  I never got over that loss against Grumpy.  I remember being instantly on tilt and playing crappy thereafter, but I am sooooo untilted now!  I'll email Poker Grump and post the details here when we've ironed them out.

The Queen of HU has returned.  I just wish I could be playing against Negreanu, Siedel and Duke, but there's always next year.

Play smart.

Josie

The Minnesota Planetarium Society has corrected the zodiac.

Cancer: July 20-Aug. 10.
Leo: Aug. 10-Sept. 16.

Those people must know what they are talking about. Their residents can play 4 down cards.

Yeah I heard about that "changing the zodiac" thing. I don't think you can go around changing it willy nilly but regardless, either way I'm still a Leo.

Your memory isn't very good. You won 3 out of 4. You even said so yourself:

Can you not play people you have a reasonable trust of on-line with pretend chips and then settle debts using PayPal?

Zebra,

I could, but

A.) I need to set up a new Pay Pal acct

B.) JamyHawk said the PayPal people were looking for a proof of purchasing something, when he tried to do such a transaction.

C.) I've never seen a comment from a Zebra before! You've made my day!

Dogs Are Vermin

I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. Sugar Bear does. I especially don't like small dogs. I'm considering getting a dog, a chihuaha.  I must be out of my fucking mind.  The dog needs a home and it's free (I'm fucking cheap).  Sugar Bear doesn't know of this thank goodness. OMFG I should just say NO like Nancy Reagan, or as Waffles said, Barbara Bush.  :P Oh and there are a couple of new blogs on the blog roll over yonder. --->  Check out the newbies, Rob and Cranky.  Good shiat. Josie PS I should really just say no instead of ruining my life, right? PPS As luck would have it Sugar Bear has always wanted a chihuahua specifically.  :(  and a duck.

I'm busier than a cat covering up shit on a concrete floor so you'll have to forgive me for not posting today. What, you thought this was a post?  Um, no it isn't. But, if you're desperate to read something about Very Josie, and if you like crafty humor, you could go ---> HERE as this post tickles my funny bone.  Go on now, go THERE and enjoy some fine writing for a change, and tell him Very Josie sent you. Snaps for Josie!  (you have to go HERE to appreciate this line and then come back here to leave me a comment.  Just because I'm too busy to post doesn't mean I don't like getting comments.  Now scoot!)

Upset

I got a lot of much needed sleep last night and woke up with intentions of writing a very funny story but plans have changed my friends. I just read Tony's Latest Post and I'm too worried or upset to write about anything so frivolous.  I think many of his readers just see him as an interesting story, and not a person.  I see the person, who I was trying so very hard to steer away from a train wreck, but it didn't work.  In fact, the part that scares me the most is maybe I, with my good intentions, pushed him further off the cliff.  Maybe I put too much pressure on him to avoid the machines - too much pressure about something he is unable to control.  I need to shut the fuck up and stop giving out unsolicited advice, which most likely will not happen.  I cannot express how badly I feel about this. I was only trying to help because sometimes when you're in the eye of the hurricane you don't have the entire picture, at least not a...
