Yet another gray dismal day here. Yeah it's warm, but it's looks like hell out there; while spring makes you remember how many shades of green there are, a wet November is just a study in a million shades of muddy browns and grey.
Blech.
For fun, I've been spending the last 10 minutes checking out Las Vegas webcams. And yes, I'm aware of how sad that sounds.
As of this writing it will be approximately 7 days, 18 hours until I have my first live shot with Joanne, Gary and Maudie. If all goes according to plan, this will take place before we all even leave the damn airport. And that's as far as the plan gets me.
There is a long (and I mean looooooong) list of things I really want to do while in Vegas, but but only one or two of them can be classed in the I-must-do-this-or-die-trying category. I'm going with the flow on this trip. If I play any poker beyond the WPBT tourney at Ceasar's, great. But I'm not going to actively search out games and run all over Vegas.
Seven days, seventeen and a half hours. But who's counting?

Huge, huge kudos to Garth for finishing his NaNoWriMo novel, and with a day to spare!!! Such discipline, such imagination, such drive, such a cushy job where one can write during the day *grin.
Nice job, mate!

I played my most donkalicious in the Mookie last night, both accumulating and donating chips with the greatest of ease. It was all good until the Second Chance opened up and it was proven to me once more that I suck at multitasking and multitabling. And at maintaining basic good manners in the midst of a tilt. I do apologise to all.
And many thanks to Surflexus for sweating me and letting me bounce silly ideas off of him.

Edit: CC's Thursday Bash has been postponed until the 16tth of December. Whew. That gives me time to get some dough on Stars, and oh yeah, another nite to try and get all my crap done (exams/marking/report cards/3 new clients) before Vegas!
Uggh, those gray Nov/Dec days in Southern Ontario, I remember them well, if not fondly.
Dunedin weather
Here, on what is considered the first official day of summer, the temperature has climbed to a balmy 11 degrees (with a pretty brisk cold southerly blowing). We've got puffy white clouds with grayish bottoms floating about. It's sort of like those other days you get in late October, early November in S. Ontario. Lovely autumn weather, but not really what one expects in the early summer.
Ah well, off to Brisbane next week until the end of the month and then no doubt I'll be complaining of the heat.
I would REALLY like to know why I wasn't included in the list or people u are going to do shots with in Vegas.
That's just WRONG!!!
Oh Carmen we are DEFINITELY doing shots (plural)!
That list is the people who are flying in at the same time, and Joanne is picking us all up...lol, nothing like airport shots!
