Newsbits
The naming thing I mentioned in the last post is still percolating, so I'll write it out this weekend. For now, here are some newsbits in bullet point format.
- I've been having an insanely good run at poker tournaments (usually a little weaker for me than cash games) recently. I finished 7th of ~450 in a freeroll to win a golf weekend with Daniel Negreanu (good think I didn't win, given my lousy golf game), and 7th of ~110 in a $10 tournament. Total cash of about $86.
- My car is repaired, with the total cost slightly over $1,000 (I also had a cracked serpentine belt). It hums like an angel now.
- I recommend against ever advertising in QwestDex Yellow Pages. I had an advertisement with them for my resume business, which I recently decided to cancel. If they were located here in the 21st century, I'd have been able to cancel my listing online. However, when I e-mailed their support people, I learned that I had to mail my request to them. After I mailed it, I got a call from my "directory representative" requiring voice verification to cancel the listing, and I had to call him back long distance to confirm it. Fucking ridiculous.
- I'm pretty happy with my fantasy football team, though I already regret selecting (the for-now injured) Clinton Portis in round 1. The rest of my team is strong, however: Willie Parker, Frank Gore, Mike Bell, and Portis's replacement T. J. Duckett at running back, Torry Holt, Reggie Wayne, Eddie Kennison, Michael Clayton, and Troy Williamson at receiver, Tony Gonzalez and Ben Troupe at tight end, and (my weakest position) Trent Green and Ben Roethlisberger at quarterback.
- I just received a package in the mail that was sent a year and a half ago. Really.

Can the contents of the package be revealed, or is this one of those "items mailed in discrete box" types?
A couple GI Joe toys I ordered off Ebay that I ended up charging back because they never arrived. Sigh.
i think that's cool re: the late late package; it's like there's a descendant of charles bukowski working in your local post office
