I can go...

... with the flow. I actually quite enjoy the Queens of the Stoneage.

Welcome to what one British psychologist says is the most depressing day of the year. I don't know bout you, but if the high is around +4, I ain't gonna be too depressed. There's an oddly attractive ed class in the gym this morning too, Erin's sister is in it I believe.

I am sore today. Two hockey games yesterday, the second with only 3 subs and I'm a beaten man. Tweaked a groin muscle in the first one to boot so that felt fantastic for the second game.

The first great poker tourney of 2005 was held on Saturday and once again... by utter FLUKE!! Mike "that prike" Winter managed to defy all logic and the law of universal justice to win once again. Mike... you had your jacket on preparing to leave the house... 4 consective cards to get a straight, there is no justice. I was the 5th remaining out of 16 (I think, might have been 18) so I was happy with my performance. Of course 5th means no money so it's not quite good enough. *edit* Oops, got too caught up in good natured bashing that it was turning into bad natured. Mike did play quite well, he got lucky at the right time but he did have the skill to go all in with decent cards. After the one big win he took over the table so... *sigh*... props to Mike for playing some good poker.

There is also room to celebrate as the basketball team of Dave, Mike, Kris, and Alfie managed to win their first game of the season... there is more guys on the team, those are just the ones I know. Actually that's too bad, if they had 4 guys their record might be more understandable. *edit* ouch... It should be mentioned that Dave, Kris, Alf, and Mike have done all in their power to win but I've heard tell of a certain Kwayyzeee (yes that's not how you spell it, it actually starts with a Q which completely baffles me) and another fellow who's apparently prone to taking bad shots and turning the ball over repeatedly who seem to be doing all in their power to thwart the aforementioned quattros efforts.

That's about it, when I'm home I think I'll post pics of the bike I will one day own.... I must have it!!!
