Rollercoaster!
Wow, the last couple of days have been crazy.
I started futzing with some multi table sngs just for the interim pre-europe to mix things up at the 27 and 60 buy in. The last three days of them, 8-14 tabling: +600, -800,+1200. Good result, INCREDIBLY swingy up to the last few games. Seriously, tournaments of any sort in volume are not for the faint of heart, but I can't say I'm not feeling good by the end.
Other than some poker I've seen a few friends around home and been moving stuff around between the upcoming trip and moving bedrooms to the end/big bedroom of our apartment. I'm finally all moved in and everything has been good, clean and set up. I'm excited to finally have a lot of room AND a single bedroom with a big bed. Things are looking good right now so hopefully no disasters pre europe (other than the passport fiasco- who knew there was a pre-expiration date for those damn things?) Thanks for reading.

boring day
i woke up at around 9am today for NO reason. I was pretty lazy and just hung around the apartment, did mostly nothing except talked to some friends. I wasn't feeling great tonight and wasn't up to going out so I just stayed in and played some tournaments online. Played for a few hours, +600 in tournies (mainly 60s with some 27s). Other than that, I have done nothing productive. Will report back with something interesting should said topic of interest arise. Thanks for reading.

an update
sorry i havent updated for a while, to be honest there isnt much worth updating on.
I have played barely any poker beyond the odd home game and nl100 and 200 online (<3k hands since ive been home), and ive been pwning those sunday million satellites for 5 seats at this point. beyond that, not much doing.
In the real world, I've gotten a chance to hang out with some good high school friends recently and its been nice. In my hometown theres a very short list of entertaining things to do without going into the city, so we've entertained ourselves with meals and movies when I leave my burrow (apartment). So far I've seen Harry potter 5 (meh compared to the book, big meh compared to the other movies), I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry (funny, not Sandler's best work but it'll do good enough), The simpsons movie (good for a final movie, not amazing) and "Once" is next on the list. I've heard fantastic things about it so I'm looking forward to it.
Other than that, things are getting cooking for our family trip to Greece/Turkey. The bride of the wedding that we're attending in Greece (close family friends) called today and told my brother and me that we are going to be Groomsmen, which is exciting because I don't do too many weddings and certainly have not been a Groomsmen for a Greek wedding. I've been on death-trips to the suit store (I hate shopping) but its definitely worth it for this trip. Hopefully all updates will be good ones until I leave. Thanks for reading.
