I won at poker last night. I didn't follow my instincts. In fact, I played opposite my normal reactions, and it turned out amazingly well. I think I took out all but one person at the table. They kept going all in, and I just couldn't let it go, I was not afraid ... much. But it was a good feeling. Plus, I enjoyed some wonderful herb throughout the game. I brought over some white widow, another guy brought over juicy fruit, and then my other buddy had some other stuff that smelled real good, and it was nicely cured with lots of crystals all over it, though no name came with it. I was so baked for most of that game, which is why I didn't trust my instincts. The drinking was nice as well. I had picked up a Cantillon Geuze, which came with a different lable than the one I'm used to (perhaps a new year means new label or some such nonsense?), but it tasted like a damn good lambic, so I was quite satisfied. Then I also had a Dogfish Head World Wide Stout. I just love that beer, but it gets you real drunk real quick. The guy sitting next to me went through 3 or 4 beers and asked why I was drinking so slow that night (I'm usually like a fish), but when I explained that my one beer was as strong as 5 of his, he piped down. Then I moved onto some whiskey. Mmmm, that was tasty, and it finished my night strong.
Then I walked home from poker, and I hurt my foot. I think I bruised the ball of my foot, cause it's a bit of bitch to stand on now. So no more walking for me for a while. It means I'll have to ride the shitty T. Speaking of shitty T, the machine wouldn't accept my card this morning. Dumbest machine ever. I kept trying to put it in, but the machine sat silent, the conductor told me to move on. Now what's this fare increase all about? Oh yeah, to pay for all the fares they can't collect anymore. Dumb, foolish, no-good system.
By the way, Mitch Hedgberg is fucking hillarious. I just never tire of his great jokes. "I was watching a boxing match on HBO the other day, and they advertised it as a 'Fight to the finish' which is a really good place to end it." That funny bastard.
