ambericaOMG I need to name my computer, and then I need to get more computers and name them too. Yeah.
I am up past my bedtime again. This whole weekend has been messed up as far as sleeping goes. And I've been gassy as a mofo - not just loud and fun, but NASTY and STANKY too. Either I have been eating too much dairy or some other food that is not being digested properly (maybe I should be paying more attention to what I'm eating here...), OR I am getting sick. I hope it is not the latter.
Went to poker night with some Veritas people on Friday night, bringing Jon along with me. It was a $50 buy-in for half a dozen people, and Jon won!!! Well, he won $200 and the second-place winner got $100. (I didn't play that game. But I did play in a $10 tournament after that. Got some really good hands, but still lost. Oh well - still fun! I believe Jon took 2nd place in that tournament, but it was a winner-take-all payout.) Fun night. Didn't get home until 2 am! And the best part is that the Veritas guys really liked Jon, and they are putting him on the email list for future tournaments. This is great because they are good people, good players, non-smokers, and just generally in a better position in their lives than some of the people he's been hanging out with lately. One person in particular is falling into a lot of serious problems, and Jon is pretty sick of dealing with all that crap. I can't go into detail about it, but it is very seriously NOT something cool at all. (I'm as sick of it as Jon is, probably more actually, and I'm happy to do anything I can to help grow his social circle, like introducing him to people from my work that he would get along with.)
OK, goodnight. I'll sleep on what to name my computer. I'll have to think of names for Jon's 'puters too, and his server will also need a name.
