Depressed, but busy
Haven't really had a lot of time online recently. Wife has gotten back into a game that we finished a LONG time ago, Diablo (the first one). It's a great little hack and slash dungeon romp, great way to relieve stress. So I'm not getting as much computer time as I used to. And I'm up in Beloit working a bit, and they won't give us (temporary summer people) a code key for their wi-fi, so it's a coffeeshop down the hill.
The other big news is that the Artistic Director of the theatre up there has been fired by the board of Directors. Seems he ran his car into a light pole. DUI. His 5th. He's facing a big fine and serious Jail time, as they're prosecuting it as a Felony. And here I thought he was on the wagon. His role got replaced quickly, but they're still looking for a new director for the last show of the season, and a replacement for his character in it (yes, he was directing and acting in the show).
So far, things are stumbling along ok without him. I think the show is better with the replacement, though it's still not great (Several really bad (or questionable) casting choices).
I've been getting into Full Tilt Poker pretty seriously (well, as seriously as I can get without spending any real money). I'm playing tourneys, usually one-table, either 6 or 9 player, or 90 person multi-table tourneys. I'm usually in the money (top 3) in the single tables, and once I've finished 4th in the big one. Tonight, for the first time, I played in a "Free Roll" tourney. Without spending any money, you get the chance to win REAL money. The tourney was limited to 2700 players. It filled up in about 20 seconds. I made it to 744. Not bad for a first time. That was just after (the first hand after) the one hour break. I'll continue to play those, hoping to make it to the final 27 to make it into the money (2 dollars for the last 18 places, up to only 15 dollars for 1st place.), but I'd imagine that the whole thing'd take about 3 hours to finish. But that's the only way I can see, at this point, of getting real money to play with.
It's hot and muggy here. I need to get out and do yard work, before I get one of those nasty hate letters from the city. But I have so little energy in this heat, especially on my days off. I hate the lawn police. Maybe I'll move to Albuquerque where they don't have grass.
I've tried three times to post a blog/survey thingy at MySpace, but each time it crashes and won't save. I'm about to give up on that glitchy service. Once I get to a hotspot, I'll also try to post some more pics to flickr. (Yeah, I can hear you now, "Promises, Promises".)

That really sucks about the DUI, but i secretly think it's always been a sooner or later thing with him.... maybe this will kick him back on the wagon for real.
