Left Brain, Right Brain

OMG 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.

My grandmother's brain was dead, but her heart was still beating. It was the first time we ever had a democrat in the family.

Which Website are You?

Well this is so weird. First I am Windows XP, and now I am also MSN.com.... as much as I tend to hate the Evil Empire, something in me will always love it like I used to. I can admit to that.

This is the doctor who saved my life almost 4 years ago. Thank you, Dr. Hushka! :)

*Edit* I will post another entry later with more details about that night. I am almost positive that the fever I had is what caused the memory problems I have now.

Today marks the beginning of smoke free restaurants and bars in the Metro Area! Wahoo!!!! Well, some bars, depending on what county they are in, might be able to keep the smoking... but that doesn't matter, since I'm not much of a bar fan anyway.

What I'm REALLY excited about is not having to smell disgusting cigarette smoke in a restaurant while I'm eating. The first time Jon and I went to Khan's, we stood for 20 minutes waiting for a table while a guy at a table near the entrance kept lighting up. It was horrible. Disgusting. I am so excited to not ever have to request a table for "Non-smoking or whatever is available first," while secretly praying that I don't end up in the smoking section... and still knowing that I am hungry enough to have to put up with it if I need to. Now I will NEVER have to put up with it again!

Chatting with ML the other day, and he says in response to something I said, "So you reject-a the Lord-a!" Admittedly, he meant it kind of in a joking way, but he IS a Christian and also meant it in a serious way, the way any Christian really believes what they are saying when they talk about people "Rejecting the Lord." I always found that to be a rather bizzare statement, but I could never really put my finger on WHY. I think I figured it out a bit after putting some thought into it.
