new this week: we went to santa barbara for a night this weekend where the weather was beautiful, the one wine tasting we made it to was just okay, the dinner was great, but the bar we went to afterward was a little douchey. so overall, i think it averaged out to somewhere between pretty good and actually good.

yesterday i finished half life 2 proper and get to move on to the two little half-life-lettes that accompany it.

also, i’m pretty sure i’ve pinpointed what i might call my three biggest weaknesses in a week full of poker playing. now i’m hoping that knowing how i suck is part of the path to sucking less. wish me luck with that.
