on being late, poker and tummy rumblings ...

It has been pointed out to me that I'm late on my posting today. I guess that much is evident, for those of you who come here at a regular time to check out the Diatribe.

I just got caught up a bit with things and didn't get around to posting when I did have the chance.

Got off work, did laundry, came home for a little bit, then back to work to finish things up, then to the weekly poker game, which I haven't been to in two weeks. I got there late and had to sit in on the small table, the waiting-for-a-spot-to-open-on-the-big-table table. Luckily, I went on a bit of a rush and knocked out five of the six people on the small table and a spot eventually opened up for me on the big table.

Ran my initial $80 up to about $250, but some bad beats took it down for me a bit, but then I hit a couple of pots and ended up leaving with about $100 more than when I started. Not bad for about two hours of work, huh?

Basically, it means I'll probably buy a nice, thick steak to cook at home for dinner tomorrow. Or splurge on too much Chinese food (to make sure I have leftovers ... heh).

Writing about food only serves to remind me that I'm hungry. I had a small Greek salad around 6 p.m. and it was good enough for a while, but now I starvin' like Marvin for a Cool J song. Which wouldn't be so bad, but I'm not sure what I'm hungry for. Maybe I'll just nuke some hot dogs. Or make some soup. Hmm ...

Stay tuned for a later post where DZER will reveal what he ate!

Heh.

Dzer, get Chinese and I'll be over shortly. Oh and as you are on a winning streak, can you give me the lottery numbers for Saturday? :)

One of my favorite things about eating out is take home for later left overs. Especially chinese or italian. Okay, now I'm hungry. Thanks alot Dzer. :)

kristen: me too!

suze: sounds like a plan ... you wanna nibble on my moo goo gai pan?

ell: I'm more partial to orange chicken, spicy beef, sweet and sour pork, wonton soup, General Chan's chicken and salt-and-pepper ribs ... mmm ...

kathi: isn't that the best? the leftovers later that night or the next day? and sorry ... but not really ... heh

snavy: never forget to eat! and I dunno why you want chinese food ... heh

sass: ah, it was OK ... shoulda been more conservative once I was up by $170 or so ... and that sounds like a good dinner ... especially the ice cream part ;)
