Playing catchup

So it's been a little while since the last entry, here is what has been going on this week.

Friday:

I went to Arlington Race Course with some friends and had a great time. I broke about even for the day by winning on the last race. If you have never been to Arlington get out there. It's one of the nicest horse tracks I'm ever been to. With some bets only starting at a dime it's easy not to spend a lot of money.  Later that evening I did a Improv show at the American Theater Company. It was fun and Nora Dunn from SNL did the monologues. Thanks the Adal for inviting me to play the last couple weeks it's been fun. 




Saturday:

Went to work for a couple of hours and watched Cannon Ball Run. So I didn't do much working as you can tell. Then went up to IO and sat in again with Whirled News Tonight. It was a fun show despite the fact that there were only 5 of us playing. There is a podcast of the last two shows I was in on itunes. Just go to the podcast section and search Whirled News. After the show I headed to my old apartment where friends were hosting a Beer Pong party. Now as most of you know I don't drink alcohol, but also most of you know that I am very competitive and if there is any sort of game going on I want to win it. So I will drink a beer as long as I can win something from it. Arnie and I joined forces in an effort to win pong but came up short by losing to the Bess Romano Trio in the first round. My character the Professor was not happy about it.



Sunday: 

Woke up way to early to play in a poker tournament that never happened and was not to pleased about that. So I just hung around the house all day and watch TV. I headed up to IO to do Deep Schwa at 8. We had a very fun show and I did some new Character choices that I had never done before. Watch 3033 then headed home for bed time.


Monday:

I didn't have to work so I slept in pretty late. I woke up and headed to the Apple store and bought and Ipod shuffle. I have an Iphone, but it's a little bulky to work out with and the shuffle is perfect. For only 50 bucks I thought it was worth it. Went to do the Armando show at IO at 8. Had fun and it was a great house.



Tuesday: Went to work but as I closed my apt door I realized that I had left my keys on the table. So I locked myself out and was not to happy about it. Luckily my brother and roommate Tim was off of work at the same time I was so crisis adverted. Poker night! I didn't do well and I'm not to happy at the way I've been playing. I was upset, but luckily for me Niki got a little buzzed and started singing on the piano about what was going on in the hands. She was also doing it in a very funny Chinese accent. So as for the rest of the week I plan on keeping it low key cause my ass is broke.

Our Beer Pong loss was almost entirely my fault.

It was still fun, though.

My big poker winnings are entirely my own fault.

thank you for calling me "the adal", most people are refusing to do so.
