I actually forgot about this.

A lot to talk about here. I am still at AT&T unfortunately, I hope to remedy that very soon. The job market is flooded with people with better qualifications than mine, so its hard to get into an interview. Speaking of AT&T I have not been at work for just under a week now do to a leg injury that I received at kungfu.

I was working on some defenses against kicking and clashed with a my workout partner, I have a very large Hematoma(spelling). There was a lot of blood pooling down into my foot and was causing a lot of swelling, I was intending to go back today but it still is not much better than it was so my doctor told me to stay home till Thursday. It is getting better but I am not sure how good it will be by Thursday. If I don't see a big improvement by Wednesday I am going back to the doctor. I did some running around today and have been paying for it all day. So I get to miss work but I am stuck at home with my leg elevated. No beer, no kungfu nothing.

The good news is that I have been playing a huge amount of poker. I have been working with a new coach and it has elevated my game so much. He is well worth the money and I am seeing holes and leaks that I never saw before. I am actually kind of turning into a bit of a nit. So far my month has been break even but I still have some time and I am running about 4 buy ins below EV.

I finished Elements of Poker and think that it is a must read for anyone who really wants a book about the life of poker and not just, play this hand here and fold this hand. There really is so much in the book that I would say it is in my top ten poker books and plan on re-reading it fairly often.

I am currently reading, "Tao; the Watercourse Way" by Alan Watts. It was a book recommended to me by Sifu when I mentioned that I was reading some books about zen. It turns out the books I was reading were just people's personal takes on Zen and not really how a guide to achieving it. The book is very hard to read because I am not used to reading such scholarly texts. It is taking me a while to get through it but I will post about it when I am done.

Other than that nothing much is going on. I saw Milk recently and have to say it is one of the best movies I have ever seen. I saw I Love You Man and it was pretty good as well. I went and saw Moon and I definitely recommend it, it is an amazing movie and Sam Rockwell really shows that he is an accomplished actor. Away We Go was also good I want to see it a second time before I say anything about it.

Upcoming shows:
9-10 She Wants Revenge at the Granada, very off the map for me but I enjoy them.
9-27 The Avett Brothers at the Granada, a must see show if you enjoy live shows.
10-5 The Artic Monkeys at Palladium, they are pretty dancey, we will see.
10-31 Ghostland Observatory, I hope they are as good as I think they are.

I will try to update this more often for anyone who reads it.

Later
