Hit me, er...I mean Fold

So now I owe [livejournal.com profile] smokedamage because I've had a couple bad nights of Texas Hold'em in a row. Two good hands both beaten out badly. Only one really good hand, Full House, which manage to beat out two other guys' Straights. But apparently not good enough stakes to walk away ahead. I offered to put in my own money but I was told, "no, I got it," only to get it waved over my head afterwards. Damn cards just weren't in my favor. But hey, we all got told by one of the players that we're just amatures. What do you expect with only a $5 buy-in and chip values of .05, .10, .25, and .50?

In other news, I turned down the job offer in favor of not making the McNair people upset. And I finally withdrew from the C programming class. Tomorrow morning I meet with the people at the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital so that they know who I am when I start running experiments on their dyslexic children. So must go and get sleep now so that I'm in good form for the meeting.

Oh God! NOT ANOTHER RULE!!

Our friends are going to kill us. I think we've added one rule every time that we've taken more than a couple days off from playing. Before you know it, each card will have some rule attached to it, and then we'll have to actually think while playing the game.

Yep, that's the one. They gave me directions to not exit until Motor St. because of all the constructions work on Oak Lawn. I went there today after only 1 hour of sleep for a two hour meeting about our research. I have a bad cold that kept me awake all night. When I got back home I jumped right back into bed and slept all day. Then took Smokey to work and now am deliriously typing this before nodding off again.
