I made the mistake of hooking up the PS2 and starting up Enter the Matrix last night around 7:45 or so. When I next looked at the clock, it was 10:15 or so. This recovering gaming junkie needs this addiction not.

Especially with the large number of things that I need to get done. I started the evening by trying to setup the SiPix Blink to take pictures of various Texas Hold'em hands for some LJ icons/mood icons, but the SiPix is a horrendous piece of shit when it comes to taking pictures indoors, even with direct lighting, so that was a wash.

Also on my plate: Books I have to/should/have purchased to read:

• Positively Fifth Street
• Earnie's copy of Poker Nation
• Dumbing Down for the book club
• The Secret History
• Play Poker Like the Pros by Phil Hellmuth
• Girls' Poker Night
• China Boy
• The Rape of Nanking

Stuff I have to/should do:

• Find some way of getting those Texas Hold'Em hand pictures.
• Transcribe a bunch of Mandarin from Making Out in Chinese for taraljc.
• Hash out the plot/character problems in the Willow/Xander post-Chosen piece before July 15.
• Laundry.
• Dishes.
• Record and watch thirteen episodes of this season's Six Feet Under off of the TiVo for Jackie.
• Make the MP3 CD that I promised khubli a while ago.
• Fix the sound card problems with my mini-tower PC.
• Find some more ways of saving money before August 14.

I'd also like to say hey to the Fishes. :)

Yeah, I know what you mean. It really sucks when you have NO friends who love to shoot photos at every possible opportunity.

No, what really sucks is when you have a friend who loves to take photos and who would take the photos but not let you have all the raw, subpar/unfiltered ones. Especially, when you'd like to do it yourself.
