- Is having someone proofread your resume and cover letter so difficult? Since I've started hiring people myself, I've had to really lower my expectation in regards to grammar and punctuation. I have a cover letter in my hand that's 1 paragraph long, centered, without spaces between sentences, and just terrible punctuation. The letter itself is horrible but the content is good. For a guy applying for an entry level position, and having some experience, he said a lot of the right things. I almost want to rewrite the thing and send it back to him or at least suggest corrections.

- I made the top 4 at our SGO Texas Hold'em game on Saturday and will move on to the final game which plays this Saturday night.

- I've been considering playing some micro-stakes games on Pokerstars or FullTilt. It's like $10 buy-in's with $1/$2 blinds. The crummy thing about playing the free money games are the stupid people that go all-in at every hand. Very obnoxious. I'm actually up about $2K in the free money games, but that's probably due to the stupid people.

- Tomorrow nights schedule has me in a game called Monkey Poo. Imagine players jumping and bouncing around throwing blue blobs at each other. In Halo, one of the alien grenades is actually sticky. It will stick to the players, but not walls or other inanimate objects. The idea is to get points by 'sticking' the other players with these grenades, which subsequently explode. That's it. Just throwing blue glowing 'nades at each other. It's really pretty fun but takes some practice to be any good. I don't practice.

- Fish tacos were on the menu last night. They were too good. I only made 3 fillets, but they were big enough to make 6 tacos. And I ate them all. Someday, hopefully, I'll use something other than tilapia. It's fine, but cheap. Most fish taco recipes call for a firmer white fish, like cod or even shark. I ain't got the dough for anything but tilapia.

- So my parents are picking up roots and getting out of CA. As far as I know, they've decided to settle in CO, but it might be a while before they actually buy a house. They need help getting all their vehicles over here so I'll be flying to CA next weekend and driving my dads truck back. Long drives aren't my most favorite thing to do, but my dad drove our moving truck for us when we moved and I have vacation time to burn up before the following weekend, so there you go. I get a mini-vacation and an extended look at one of the most desolate parts of the US.

- It's cold, wet, and dreary today. The morning started out ok, but now we have a drizzling rain. I don't need any more reminders than winter is coming.

- Next week starts Cap League. It's another gaming event, but geared towards those of us who didn't use to play in Major League Gaming events (i.e. - those of us who suck.) Below are some avatars I made up for it.

This one isn't mine but I thought it was funny.

So how was your weekend?
