Here is a random collection of what I have done (that’s worthy of note) in the first two months of 2008, in random order:
- Saw “Persepolis“. Very artsy movie. Didn’t beat Ratatouille for best animation oscar, but equally good, in totally different ways.
- Saw “Juno“. It will touch you, in one way or another.
- Discovered in Windows Live Writer the very convenient “block quote” toolbar button which automatically formats the quoted text for you (I always do it manually by myself!)
- Managed to post twice in the month of February.
- Bought three poker books.
- Finished one. Dan Harrington is a great poker author.
- Signed up an account at PokerStars.
- Finished in 9th place in my first ever online poker tournament. (For those who don’t know, it was a very short, single table tournament that lasted less than 1 hour. There were 9 players in total.)
- Finished in 6th place twice in my subsequent two tournaments.
- Finished in 1st place in my 4th try.
- Got tagged for a meme for the first time.
- Saw a total lunar eclipse.
- Bought 3 habitat backgrounds, a bunch of accessories and items to decorate my Haikoo Zoo pet profile, all for free!
- Found out Scrabulous is addictive.
- Discovered a very nice, local Moroccan restaurant.
- Someone told me a joke that I thought was very funny. When I told it at our team dinner, nobody laughed.
- A building collapsed and caused huge delays at Metro North, resulting a 2 hour trip home that night.
- Hosted two parties for the Chinese New Year.
- Worked on Chinese New Year’s Day.
- Watched the Oscars (which I do annually). Thought Jon Stewart did a better job this time around. Also thought this year’s Best Foreign Film category was a joke because neither “Diving Bell” nor “Lust Caution” was nominated.
- Had a really bad day on 1/30.
- Was very moody for several days in a row.
- Slept a lot overall.
- Ate less.
- Booked Vegas trip.
- Booked “O”, the famous Cirque du Soleil residence show at Bellagio.
- Finished this post.
