Being bored, having found the latest video game I purchased to be a complete disappointment (seriously, being able to rent computer games would be awesome for letting me avoid two hours of moderate boredom prior to hitting the big X), and with writer’s block (or rather writer’s apathy. I’m sure I could be writing, I’m just too apathetic to do so), I finally took the plunge.
I downloaded PokerStars and started playing online poker. Not for money (because that’s ILLEGAL! *wink wink, nudge nudge*), but mainly in their free tournaments. So far, I’m affirming myself as a decent-not-great player, as I consistently finish in the top 1000 of these tournaments (which generally have 12000 entrants, it seems).
Still. It’s only a stone’s throw away from me hunched over a table in Vegas shuffling my chips in a sweat-stained sports jacket.
