Cliff Notes:
We had a bunch of kids over. They played freeze dance. Then we shot balloons up into the air. Then they ate. Then we opened presents. Then they played with the presents. Then the cousins stayed the night, and the kids slept all by themselves in the tent. Kua guarded the backyard, of course. Then the cousins woke up and we hung out for awhile and took more pics. There's also a couple videos that i'll post pronto.

We Bought a House
Oh yes, it's true. Not quite sure how it happened. We saw a realtor. Then we looked at a buncha houses. Then we signed some papers. Then we had a big loan and a house.

Seamus' Future
Now we know; poker pro it is. On the right, Alex Jacob. No worries, grandparents, he made nearly two million in 2006.
In other news, I really don't post here much. I do have tons of news and photos to share, however...I'll see what I can do about writing some in the next few days.

Man I Hate That Song
But American Idol contestants love them some Whitney Houston.
Here are videos of AI folk singing "I Have Nothing." The last one is Christina Aguilera singing it on the New Mickey Mouse Club in her early teens.

Nah...I Wasn't Feeling it, Dawg...
I've succumbed to American Idol.
In the past I've watched the early weeks (aka The Parade of the Delusional), and then gracefully bowed out when it became about singing. This year, I'm in for the stretch.
Key factors to my buy-in:
So I'm in, and therefore 10% closer to actually being a teenage girl.

I Love Barry Greenstein: Part 2
In which Barry Greenstein uses internet nerd chat terminology in a $300/$600 no limit ring game.
Background information:
LOL = laugh out loud
Donkey = bad poker player
Tournament poker = a place where donkeys often succeed despite their horrible play, due to the large amount of short-term variance inherent in the structure.
mashup the above to get: lol donkaments
Confused? Read on...
The 2+2 forums are the most popular poker forums online. Over the past few years they've really sprawled, to the point that there's so much content there one could never read it all. Along with such a big community comes inside jokes. One of the most popular currently is lol donkaments, which is shorthand for saying, essentially, that tournaments are dumb. It's a way to laugh off bad beats and put down successful tournament players.
Key information: the essence of lol donkaments is that in tourny play super-aggressive, semi-suicidal play is the norm. Perhaps pushing with top pair second kicker after your opponent showed aggression on the flop?
Finally, there's this. Barry is an occasional poster on 2+2. At a recent WPT event, a 2+2'er offered him $10,000 to utter the magic words on television. In the following clip, you will see Greenstein make a tourny donk move, and then say it. It's clearly the greatest moment in 2+2, and possibly in poker nerd, history.

What do you mean you want to cut his hair?
Just look at the kid!
If you agree with me, please comment here and plead with her to save Seamus' luscious locks. If you disagree, do so privately. I'm not tryin' to hear that, yo.

Barry Greenstein is Incredible
Really a sick hand. Also of note, two plus two poster Brian Townsend shushing WSOPME winner Jamie Gold when Gold talks during the key moment of the hand.

Jen and Elliot Come to Visit
Terrified Whitey!
Poor poor Joe Biden! He took the fall for all of us whities that are afraid to talk to black folk for fear we'll be attacked for our well-meaning compliments. No wonder that one white guy doesn't have black friends. No wonder...

Chappelle...Comic Genius
Watched this episode last night, and this piece slayed us. You'll have to watch the whole thing to get it, but the real slaying took place at about 2:20.

Twin Falls: Again
Today the family took a trip to Twin Falls State Park. Last time it was just me and the kid. This time, we took mumsy and the dogs. The weather was cool, and the trail was technically "closed," because it was, technically, "washed out" in spots. Yeah, we went ahead and ignored that.
Check the rest of the set here.

Chillin' at the Hot Tub West Coast Style, Baby.
The hot tub is about 100 feet from our door. Sea-boy and Katie go a few times a week. Tonight I came along for the photo-op. Enjoy. link to the rest of the pics
Aw, Pickles!
In the car up to the summit last week, Seamus and the cousins created their new favorite exclamation. Guess what it is?
In the video, Seamus gives a primer on its proper usage.
