A Night of Poker...

So, I was out in the Valley today just roamin' about. I was driving down Ventura Blvd, lookin' at the scenery which is pretty much restaurants, shops and either Arabs or Jews. I did see Danny Bonaduce (you know, Danny on Partridge Family) coming out of a liquor store with who I assume is his young son. His grey Toyota (either a Camry or Prius) was parked right outside. I wanted to yell out that I dug his show (he's a talkshow host on a local radio station) but I refrained. I didn't need to bring attention. The guy's pretty ripped. He was sporting a rather tight shirt. Anyway.. I picked up the new Kate Nash CD at Freak Beat. I really dig Kate - her music is fresh and I just love her Cockney accent.

So, I decided to stop by Commerce Casino for a game or two of poker. I ended up playing for close to 3 hours. I was, at one point, up over $50. I should have stopped there. I ended up leaving the table $9 down. Oh the horror. I must have won and lost over $300 in that time. The biggest loss was when I kept raising, thinking I had a pair of jacks and there was a jack on the board. I don't know how I confused my pocket queens for jacks. Oh the horror. The guy had a pair of aces. What a fuck. I lost a ton there... but, I won it all back and then some.. again. The next big loss was when I had pocket deuces and there was a two on the board. There was also an 8 on the board. I kept raising and when I flopped over my deuces, the guy next to me had pocket 8's. The fucker! I was just flabbergasted. Good hand, mate. Good hand.

So, apart from losing $9 and spilling my cran and soda, it was a lovely evening.



Oh, and on another note - I picked up this fabulous suit this morning..
