Last night I was over at Evan’s again, this time playing in a small 4-handed poker game. The game was no-limit, small buy-in. We had a pretty good time, and I actually did pretty well considering I was probably the most inexperienced player at the table (I also have the attention span of a gnat, so thinking about what someone is holding often escapes me).

Today has been a day of errands. I went to the mall and got a boat-load of new clothes, including: a leather jacket, three pairs of boots, two pairs of jeans, a pair of cords, and finally some miscellaneous socks. After the mall, I spent an hour driving around looking for Atlanta Ski and Snowboard (the delay was almost certainly due to my own incompetence). When I finally managed to locate their establishment, I got fitted in my boots, and checked out my skis and bindings. The setup is absolutely sick! The bindings and skis look awesome, and the boots are rock-solid. I ended up fitting better in the 30.5 boot, so I went with that one (particularly for the width of my foot in the toe box).

I’m really excited about tomorrow, because I finally get my camera. The weather has been awful here, but I was hoping to get some decent photos and start doing some editing. As noted in a previous post, I’ve had the lens for a number of days, but I’m still waiting on the camera. I’m pretty sure that Amazon requires a signature for the camera, so I’ll stay home tomorrow and wait it out.

Oh, a complete non sequitur, but I restrung my guitar a couple days ago, and have been doing some playing. I’m trying to pick up some Elliott Smith, but the experience can be humbling at times. His stuff ranges in difficulty from ‘moderate’ to ‘impossible to do with only one guitar’.

Alright, I think I’m going to spend the rest of the day either 1) at a Starbucks, or 2) firmly planted on the couch watching football. The difficulty is picking which thing I want to do. Any reluctance on my part to frequent the Starbucks this evening is solely due to the fact that I am exceedingly lazy. On the other hand, I really want a caramel light frappuccino. Decisions, decisions.
